Yep. I have everything set for reminders in my calendar, take meds, order meds, TV licence, insurances etc. Works very well. The MOT one I like as an extra.

I find tasks is very useful as well. The way they constantly pop up pushes me to do stuff. I've got three outstanding plus two for today...........

.........now I need to get my kit on for a 12.00 meet. Currently it's :rain: This is to help a friend, I really do not want to :bicycle: in the :rain:
The funny thing is... for someone with a tech background who (literally) spends about half of his life sat in front of various screens, I am a Luddite when it comes to organisation - I use diaries, blackboards/whiteboards, and scraps of paper. The only time that tech comes in is for alarms.

That really happened to me twice.
1. Multi storey in Manchester. Came back and realised I had absolutely no idea what level it was on. Took me over 30 minutes walking around every level till I found it.
2. Manchester airport. I took a note of level and bay etc. What I didn't know was the multi storey was in 2 sections and you couldn't get from a to b. I was close to phoning the police when it clicked.


I parked my car in a carpark on floor three a few years ago not realizing there were two of every floor number an upper and a lower, took me ages to find my car when I came out.:wacko:

Some years ago at luton airport, we parked the car, made a note of where it was, got on the courtesy bus and off we went.
Two weeks later, back we come and MrsP can't find the bit of paper with the zone number on it. We get on the bus and tell the driver we might be on the bus for a while. He says" when did you park it" we tell him and he stops almost opposite where it was. Brilliant^_^

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Aldi shoppers have been left angry after 170,000 of them tried to buy Kevin the carrot toy online at 8 am :laugh::laugh:

And remember where you put it, in that "easy to remember" place that disappears.
I have "lost " several things that way. I am particularly annoyed about the tickets for crossing Connel Bridge sometime in the 1950s. It cost 2 pence for me and 4 pence for my bike. I found them recently and promised them to someone who collects memories of the bridge. They have vanished into a safe place so safe I cannot find them.

I bring it gently to the boil, then simmer till smooth and creamy while stirring with a wooden spoon.

My morning porridge is a triumph of which I am justifiably proud. It transcends art........

Microwave pah!!
I have certainly made it that way but mostly in recent years when camping or in the motorhome. My morning routine is inflexible and if it gets interrupted everything goes haywire so microwave it is.
