Time for me to hit the sack
But in the morning I'll be back 
But I'll be up by eleven -
A warm bed is like heaven

I have always used a wall calendar too.   I can easily see the whole month in advance,  when appointments are, when birthdays are, and anything else I am supposed to do.      So easy.
 
I have never used a mobile calendar.

Quote from: Scrumpy on Today at 11:13:40 AMMy family keep much information on their phones..
Dates.. Appointments and things to remember..

I use a.... Calendar..
It shows me all the dates for Christmas.. Easter.. Longest and shortest day.. Summertime.. etc;
I mark in appointments.. Birthdays.. Car.. Health checks when they come along..
I can not drop it down the loo.. break it.. or get it nicked..

Am I an old fashioned girl.?  Or a smart old bird..?

I do exactly the same, I get one of those long, narrow, appointment calendars, and it fits nicely on the side of the fridge freezer at eye level.
I did try to use my phone calendar once, but it's too much faffing about, lasted about a month then switched back. :upvote:

Took my friend shopping yesterday, she'd left the heating on all night from Friday afternoon  !  Mine's on a timer, but if I'm cold I put it on manually so Alexa makes sure I don't forget to turn it off again  :upvote:

Breakfast means tablets.. I don't take any after that..
Thursday means bins
Alexa tells me that a delivery is on the way.. They leave items in my enclosed porch..
If I am cold I put the heating on.. If I am hot I turn it off.. I do not have it on timer..
My social calendar is not busy busy.. I don't need reminding..

I think my memory is pretty good.. It is my balance that is wonky..

It should read..
  DON'T CUT THE FRINGE.

My bins are lined up behind front garden hedge..
They come on a Thursday.. and the bins to be collected are the ones one first in the line-up..
I just move them towards the entrance.. sorted.. When emptied they go behind the line up..


I do the same Scrumpy  :grin:  it's black bins or coloured bins here, so after black bin day that one goes to the back of the queue  :upvote:

I use a calendar too, it's on the kitchen wall.  The problem is I sometimes forget to look at the calendar. Alexa is great for reminding me about all sorts of stuff like lunches out, turn off the heating, put out the bins,
take tablet etc etc... :grin:
