new computer for old

Its been a tad odd, not having my own computer for a while, and doing everything via ipad.  One that isn't mine.  I have a new computer now, and a cheque promised from the insurers.... ha! lets hope that comes other wise I am a little in trouble!! I did at least gain from the buying of a new apple piece of kit on 'black friday' which is some sort of American equivalent of the boxing day sales I think. 

Now I have a mac book pro.  All seemingly uploaded with everything and all the settings and  - well everything.  I need to check my accounts are all there, and if they are, send them to myself in hotmail or something.

I still need to work out this cloud thing and syncing with my phone and stuff. But otherwise I have a spinky spanky new computer.  Which is the same but better.  I have to pay a £150 excess.  Its kind of weird given the whole necessity of me being able to work from home, how important a computer and back up is.  I am thinking I may investigate seperate and better insurance on this issue.  SO glad I had accidental damage on it.  AND that I had backed up.  And that was thanks to my Productivity course, where I had to list any tiny thing that I 'should' be doing but hadn't yet. I got my back up sorted. 

There are few straggling things that have been on my list for a while. 

Get our gadgets listed on our bank insurance
See if our car insurance covers us for loss of keys and whether this is less than the cost of our excess
Sort out a will
Keep some sort of master file that Hub knows or can easily find out about so he can access all our money if the worst happened to me.
Teach Hub household budgeting
Firebox for important docs?? 

Euw. Some of that is hard to think about.  But.  yes.  n'est ce pas.

So now I have a new computer.  (shall I say that again?) I should be able to post pictures up in my blog again.  Maybe.  OH and put pictures on the FB group pages for my next Nearly New Sale of Baby & Kids stuff.  A community resourse. 

AND I feel a new wish list coming on.  Given that I have seriously achieved stuff this year already.  Bring it!!

some playful jottings in that wishing area to get me going
Ideas for bigger goals in the areas am already working with
Artist
Creativity
Yoga
Making my fortune
Travel
hmm.  not feeling very wishy or dreamy yet?  Maybe another round of Mondo Beyondo? ooh thinking thinking!

AND just now.  addendum.  Iphoto is not playing ball.  My photos and iphoto are being weird.  Not accessible yet.  oh wow.  better go check everything out.  innit.
