this is not a competition - there is no prize except feeling good that you are starting a new year with an empty basket - try to encourage each other - we all want to succeed
dont wait until the week (or day:eek:) before to get started - try to do a little bit as often as you can.
toots xxPeace will be mine
could do better - must try harder
Live each day as if its your last

Hello all!
Hope you're all well! Thanks to Pigpen, Soappie and Toots - you're all brilliant as usual!

I'm also co-hosting a jewellery party in 2 1/2 weeks so I need to get on with making some jewellery bits - I got some new beads at the weekend, so making jewellery is going on the list!

hi all
Haven't had chance to catch up (as ever!) and am going to put my feet up and watch Saturday's casualty now but I have done some flying, as well as doing dinner and washing up after (DH had already done the washing up from this morning, he does it every day when he gets in). I've also cooked a small chicken I got yellow stickered for £2 from M&S which sorts tomorrow's dinner (with some yellow stickered carrots and ready prepped veg I got yesterday - a 100% yellow stickered meal
).
Great day today, just one of those days which makes you feel good, despite sleeping badly everything went off well, my colleague has a cold but I've tried to stay as far away from him as possible!
bins need to go out later...did I mention that our wheelie bin got nicked AGAIN?!
my list looks like:
