    Buffy, DFness is very nice (although I have spent waaaay too much this month). How about writing a big list of stuff you want to do over the summer and ticking a few things off each day? Doesn't have to be huge stuff:

    1. rehome snails
    2. get to weight (2lbs less than current)
    3. go explore somewhere new
    4. put up shelf in bedroom
    5. tidy sock drawer....

    just wee things that would be challenges to you but you might feel you have achieved more than attempting to make £1000 in a month and feeling upset when you don't achieve it? Just an idea...

    Yes, you would, once you've tasted something you've cooked in it :D

    I wouldn't normally spend £50 on something like that (but it went with my kitchen):o

    I'm going to put one in my Amazon basket, along with a lovely drum. Only in my basket mind, and maybe order if I ever get some vouchers from surveys etc :D
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    Aaargh, just drove into town and a couple of kids ran out in front of me, and their mum gave me a dirty look for being in the road!

    tis true, and a very wise plan. a daily achievable list would be better then a long term thing since a)long term things tend to get put off and b) big ideas are made up of lots of little jobs and need to be organised.

    hmmm. *ponders*
