Ta.
The terrifying list of things you know you really should get done at some point in the next year or so.
Like, in my case, considering whether it is worth changing the strings on my bass. The odds are that it isn't; I like the way the sound is mellowing, but theoretically after such a long period of time, I really should at least consider it.
We have been swimming today - a new leisure centre place, and I haven't been for, well, years - and I can heartily recommend buying prescription goggles from somewhere like Lensway.
Came back via coffee shop and then Minion has finally taken her clothes upstairs and put them away - having found an accidental bleachy cloth has ruined one of her favourite tops :whistle:
Tiny lump of sheep has been eaten, cats have been fed and I think something might have happened to make the funny white thing on the wall get hot.
Just call me Sherlock for reaching that conclusion.

HulloI am in again please, i get started each week but fall off the wagon.

Just taking a little break from the studying to say that I am in this week. thanks to Kaz and the rest of FCC for the lists.
I may post lists later, but i need to get back to studying now0 -
:think: Isn't a TOOTS list the same as a FROG list??0
-
they are similar, but i beleive the premise between the 2 differs slightly, as Toots originally posted a mamouth list of what she had to do round her entire place and the "toots" list took off with others doing a list of jobs that need doing. the frog list came about because of the jobs that were very simple and quick to do, but we just kept putting them off for no real valid reason. im sure there is a link somewhere explaining the frog theory more eloquently.
i just lump them all in together, but others have seperate lists, its what works for you!0
