    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 :D
    dont wait until the week (or day) before to get started:eek: - try to do a little bit as often as you can.
    toots xx


    ETA if I missed your name let me know

    closing date for the challenge is 23rd December 2009 - you have to have joined by then!!!!

    ETA has everyone made a start - even if its just getting it sorted into easy and difficult/time consuming piles - try to do the hardest stuff first and then you will whizz through the rest!:D:D

    Toots can you put me down for the ironing list because I CBA right now

    :p:p


    Only kidding. Need to put the children in the bath then may see about guessing tomorrows list and doing some. Felt so good after doing it last night. I am so easily pleased.

    Had my BSL course today and I passed. Got 18/18 although the tutor told us this was the easy one and the other two are a lot harder:eek: No more college until after Christmas now just need to do my Childcare assignment then :D
