    Hi benben - good list! Mine reads thus:

  • I picked up the list idea a while back from BBaM. It worked for a while:D .

    I used to use a small square piece of notelet paper for the list then I could fit on eight or nine jobs but I started slacking a bit and spilling over to the other side. Life got generally busier still and a second piece of paper would be used. I'd work my way down the list, apparently finish it, then discover I'd not done the other side or worse still, lost the other piece. Typical bloke, I suppose....:eek:

    Off topic slightly, if anyone wants to add me on Facebook, please feel free. You'll have to pm me to get my surname but there's not many of them on Facebook so I'm quite spottable.:D

    don't know what it is about your writing style Benben, but it guilts me into going and doing something! Even if I don't make a list as such!
