- Catch-up with competitions. No
- Keep up-to-date with competitions.No
- Clear the piles of empty coke bottles I've saved from work to enter into coke-zone. Done
- Do my daily scratch/clicks routine every day.Done
- Sell something. No have commited to £5 a day challenge so will have to do this very soon!
- Clear out some paperwork at work every day.Done
- Clear and clean one kitchen cupboard. Still not done - think will take it off list for time being!
- Throw/recycle/donate one thing every day. Done
- Have something to eat and wash-up before I put the computer on every night. Not really this week.

Hi Pandora and welcome to the challenge.
Hi Sarah, do you mean we're actually supposed to complete the list in one week? :rotfl::rotfl: I think you're getting further than me - have you seen the amount of things I've rolled over for the third week :rotfl:.
Got off to a flying start this morning, then went to sleep for most of the afternoon :rolleyes:. Lots of things in progress, but nothing fully done. Off to have a look at my list to see if there is anything quick and easy I can do, so I can tick something off.
