    Hello all! Somehow I'm awake after getting up at half 5 to go to Malham. We were supposed to be photographing the sunrise but it was too cloudy and we couldn't see anything. Today's steps:

    1) Photograph sunrise - tried but it was rubbish weather
    2) Buy ingredients to make soup done :)
    3) Take down Christmas tree :(done
    4) Read done :)
    5) Watch some of CITVs Old Skool Weekend done :)
    6) Sort washing done :)
    7) Find a large plastic box in the loft for all my cardmaking bits (may have to empty one to do this!)
    8) Cut out things for school displays
    9) Find a file to put recipes in
    10) Photocopy the sheets I need for my proofreading assessment done :)

    I think I may need a cuppa first though!

    hmmmm i'm not quite sure what happened yesterday......i woke up in good form which promptly evaporated and turned into tears before bedtime :(:o

    I found myself in the 'can't be bothered' mood when i was thinking about going to collect my script quite early on and it just went down from there. I did however manage to get a few things done off my list and got the hat finished that i had been putting off sorting out for ages :D

    Today i'm still feeling a bit blah at the minute but hoping it will lift. Am going to try and do some nurturing things like make soup and watch a few things i have recorded.

    I want to get some listings done for ebay too with it being sunday - not my favourite job but i know i will feel good if i get some things on there! - Got 5 things listed today :)

    A bit of exercise would be a good plan too to boost the mood - i missed it yesterday.

    Lets see how the day pans out - fingers crossed for a positive one for us all :D xxx

    Something i am keen to do this year is to review my progress against my goals on a regular basis, but not sure if i should do this weekly or monthly - would anyone else like to do a regular review as well? If so would you prefer a weekly or monthly review? I am happy to go with the majority if anyone else wants to do this as well :D
