UpdateTwo...
Starting on a positive note, my first task of this list is complete!
Task 59 was to obtain my handset upgrade for as good as free when my mobile phone contract expired in Dec09/Jan10. I wanted a phone that o2 had only just released, so it was a bit of an uphill struggle but the point of this task was for me to remember to be assertive and to use my negotiation skills outside of work.
It took a couple of phone calls before everything was sorted but...
Shiny new Blackberry for me :) I had to pay a little bit towards the handset, but in return o2 knocked £10 per month off the line rental. So in a couple of months that will have paid for itself. The phone is also as great as I'd hoped it would be and despite a few initial problems, I'm very happy with it!
Lots of other goals in progress, mostly my reading goals but I have also booked a week in York for a short break (I definitely think I need this) which will go towards my task of visiting places in the UK I haven't been to (well, at least as an adult) and I'm 3 out of 4 through the London markets I wanted to visit. I have a little string of pearls to show for our trip to Portobello Road market on Saturday :)
I would like to have made more progress into completing my list, as I still have 17 open slots, but I'm hopeful that things will come up as the months go by.
