  • Hi :wave:

    Well, didn't complete last week's list, but that's not unusual :rolleyes:. I also didn't have time to put up a daily list, but I did have the list in my mind and did what I could. I am starting to see (slight) progress (I'm ready for tomorrow a whole 3 hours earlier than last Sunday!).

    Anyway, here it is:


    This week I promise that I will
    • Do the housework. Have tidied, but not really cleaned - might try to do a bit during the week.
    • Do the washing. Done although I might do some more and finally get to the bottom of the laundry basket!
    • Do the ironing. Will do tonight.
    • Go shopping and get enough food for the week. Half done.
    • Clear out some paperwork at work every day.
    • Clear out some paperwork at home.
    • Throw/recycle/donate one thing every day.
    • Do any new things on the day they come in.
    • Do one thing every day to make me feel/look better.
    • Write to a pension scheme to update details.
    • Spend 30 minutes every day doing something for work that I keep putting off because there is always something else that needs to be done first (and so this stuff is always at the back of my mind).
    • Leave work on time every day.
    • Do one thing that needs to be done because it's irritating me!
    Good luck with this week's lists.

  • Hi everyone

    Well done to those getting on with their lists (unlike me :rolleyes:). I think I might be heading into a (slightly) easier time at work, so I might actually start to get some things done.


    As usual, this week I will
    • Do any new things on the day they come in.
    • Do the housework.
    • Do the washing.
    • Do the ironing.
    • Read the gas and electricity meters.
    • Prepare work for Monday.
    • Go shopping and get enough food for the week.
    • Take a bag of things to a charity shop.
    • Tidy my handbag.
    • Clear out some paperwork at work every day.
    • Clear out some paperwork at home.
    • Throw/recycle/donate one thing every day.
    • Do one thing every day to make me feel/look better.
    • Write to a pension scheme to update details.
    • Spend 30 minutes every day doing something for work that I keep putting off because there is always something else that needs to be done first (and so this stuff is always at the back of my mind).
    • Do one thing that needs to be done because it's irritating me!
    That's it for now.
