    I absolutely love that! And Cheery, you're going to be staying at Pippi's, how wonderful! Do you know, I've completely ignored Christmas on my 50 day challenge - at this time of year, thats not very sensible, nor is it realistic..... better amend .... I really like what you've done. And I like you making the statement week by week - another thing I might adapt to mine, if you don't mind :)

    Wow, considering you are just back that has been a highly productive day.
    I love the way you are setting out your challenge and breaking it down into manageable chunks. My plan for later today is to post my 50 day challenge and much of it revolves around my Christmas holiday to do list etc. This is the first long holiday I have had in years so I am out of practice, the fact that it coincides with Christmas itself means lots of planning.

    Glad you liked the cafe, the food in there is lovely but it is definitely a place to go to for a treat.

    I see you have pinched the stripey and weekly idea already KC! :j :j Go ahead :D More stripeyness in the world I say! :j :j :j

    I've done a lot of goal setting in the past that hasn't happened because I've failed to break it into manageable chunks :o Particularly with the PhD! So I've done a lot of thinking about how to make it manageable, and this is the only way I think :)

    Right then, don't know where the evening went there! :eek: :eek: :eek:

    Just spent over an hour composing a sensible email to potential new boss :eek: I probably could have done it in five minutes, but you know how we like to fuss about these things :D All done and sent now, but it appears to be quarter past eight! :eek: :eek:

    So, some priorities...

    * pack for London tomorrow, including finding/ironing clothes

    Then, if there's time...
    * pop round to see friend before she heads back to Belgium
    * Shred day 27 :eek:

    Then later on...
    * shower and wash hair
    * sleep at a reasonable hour - got to leave at 6.40 tomorrow :eek:

    So, race is on...
