Hi everyone,
I've jut stumbled across this great challenge and it seems like the kick up the bum I need to get some general chores out of the way. :j Thanks Emily for the idea.
I'll have to have a good think about what'll go on my list. I'll have to make it a weekly list for starters - just so it won't look so overwhelming :eek:
Ok, before Friday the 13th I will have ...
1/ ironed 20 things ( not including those done 2 minutes before I'm due out of the front door )
2/ sent driving licence off to have address changed ( so simple but taking so long to get round to )
3/ 2 sessions on the Wii fit
4/ put 5 items on e-bay
5/ make my sealed £2 pot for the 2009 challenge
That'll do me for now.
Good luck to everyone with your lists. :T0
