  • Just as long as you remember that when you set up the a/c the clock starts ticking:eek: 1001 days will be here before you know it

    :rotfl:

    Thanks for that La Esc, I naively thought you could start the timer off more or less when you wanted :o.

    So, I've started an off-line list, cos I know it'll take me ages ;) and I'll need as much time as possible to get all or even most of the tasks finished! I'll post it up once it's nearly complete.

    No you're not a vegetarian if you eat any animal or fish, so do not insult genuine veggies by calling yourself one! :mad:

    Thanks to everyone who posts competitions. You are the stars of the board :T:j:T
  • I was really good yesterday and did 29 of my 50 jobs so only 21 to do today ;) The most annoying part is that DS2 is down from Didcot and helped me set up the home hub, apart from that I did the other 28 things BY MYSELF!! You would think I was the only one that lives in this house, the only one who uses the bathroom, the only one who ever needs clean clothes .......

    Rant over, thanks guys!

    Link to my 101 list: http://dayzeroproject.com/user/stitchingwitch

    It's nothing special, no really exciting things on it, but they should all be achievable within the 1001 days. I know I can't afford to buy a smallholding or to walk the Inca Trail so they're not on this list - but just wait for the next one :D

    Today I will

    - Check online banking
    - Gym see if I can get them to do a work out plan for me
    - Put washing on the line, one more load to do to.
    - I am starting to think about Chirstmas therefore I need to look through the present store and start thinking about what I need to get.
