Welcome to your Household Admin setup

Guidance

Fill in the dates you know, skip the rest — you can add more anytime. From now on Daisy nudges you before each one, in good time to actually do something about it. This note creates nothing.

Car MOT

Record · Certificate · 28 days' notice · Renews On your car MOT expiry

Your MOT certificate's expiry date. Daisy reminds you ~28 days ahead so you can book the test before it lapses — driving without a valid MOT is an offence.

Car insurance

Record · Insurance · 21 days' notice · Renews On your car insurance renewal

Your motor policy renewal. Daisy nudges you ~21 days before so you can compare quotes rather than auto-renewing — that's usually where the saving is.

Home & contents insurance

Record · Insurance · 21 days' notice · Renews On your home / contents insurance renewal

Buildings and/or contents cover renewal. Daisy nudges you ~21 days ahead so you can re-shop before it auto-renews.

TV Licence

Record · License · 14 days' notice · Renews On your tV Licence renewal

Your TV Licence renewal date. Daisy reminds you ~14 days ahead. If nobody in the household watches live TV or uses BBC iPlayer, this is a good moment to check whether you still need one.

Passport

Record · Certificate · Renews 9 months before your passport expiry (soonest in the household)

Enter the soonest passport expiry in your household. Daisy nudges you ~9 months before it expires — many countries need at least 6 months' validity left, and renewals can take several weeks in busy periods.

Broadband contract

Record · Other · 30 days' notice · Renews On your broadband contract end

When your broadband contract's minimum term ends. Daisy nudges you ~30 days before so you can switch or haggle before the price jumps at auto-renewal.

Annual boiler / heating service

Routine · Repeats yearly

Service the boiler roughly every 12 months — it keeps most manufacturer warranties valid and catches problems before winter.

Submit meter readings

Routine

Send your gas and electricity readings roughly monthly so bills are based on real usage, not estimates. Skip this if you have a smart meter.

Test smoke & CO alarms

Routine

Press the test button on every smoke and carbon-monoxide alarm about once a month — a two-minute household safety routine.

15-min household admin review

Routine

Once a month, open Daisy, clear the inbox and check what's due. This is the small habit that keeps everything else current.

Check council tax band & any discounts

Task

Single-person discount (25%), student exemptions and more — a quick win worth checking once. (Northern Ireland uses domestic rates rather than council tax.)
