Saturday Checklist

It's been a very productive day so far, although I doubt that I'll do much more now.

As it's half term there was no band rehearsal with the children today, so I met with two other members of the music team to sort out the mess that is the children's music folders. The aim was to make sure they all have the correct parts of the pieces we'll work on in January (we're on Christmas music until then), and to remove all the rest of the music ... all the additional copies because of 'I don't have that part/couldn't be bothered to look for it' ... and the unread newsletters which didn't make it home to parents ... and the order of service from last year's church services ... you get the idea! We'd only set aside two hours to do this so didn't get it all done but we've checked over half of the folders and next week I'll ask a couple of the  committee members to finish the rest. 

Back home for lunch and then I did a quick inventory of the small freezer in the kitchen and the store cupboard items. I already know what's in the big freezer, so next week I'll decide on the recipes I want to cook and then draw up a shopping list. 

Since then I've settled in the living room with the huge pile of band admin which is now sorted into the relevant piles. Thankfully most of it doesn't require my action so I can simply pass it over to the secretary for filing. I just have to file the instrument forms, print out various stock take/inventory forms, and then update the spreadsheet with recent transactions, probably a couple of hours work at most. Then I need to sort out the two boxes of music I brought home today to file the unused copies of the pieces, probably a day's effort but I won't do it all in one go. 

Tonight is a night in front of the TV, assuming there is something on worth watching, and if not then maybe curl up in my reading chair and finish my latest book.
