    I love striking thing off the list but i usually feel the need to re write it after i have striked something off!

    Oooh, me too (on the rare occasion I actually cross stuff off)

    Mmmmmmm, but nothing more annoying than sitting down to do that and making a mess of your list, it is for this reason I only buy spiral bound and never use the first page (because it is often a bit different to the rest)

    OK, I am a freak

    I do that too!

    Initially I feel proud about crossing out and eliminating one of my to do's but then I think it looks a little messy so I have to write the whole thing out again ha ha :rotfl:

    there are no freaks on this thread

    I like the pukka pads (jotta) and the wee notepads from Paperchase - once the 'newness' has worn off I just give them to my daughter and treat myself to a new one

    I like lists because

    1) I know where i stand
    2) I am in control
    3) I know my aims
    4) I can add and remove things
    5) oh this is making me smile and feel good!
