It is easy to focus on what still needs to be done rather than what has been achieved, I agree. I tend to use lists just to remind me what needs doing rather than hoping for a sense of achievement/completion.

Tonight:
- dark wash (weather looks ok to hang it out tomorrow :T but weather forecast has changed now so it's hung on the maiden upstairs:mad:
- check kitty for fleas (all clear so far...):T still clear
- lunches need making for next two days and fishcakes need making for tomorrow's tea :T
- nails need repainting maybe tonight

All that and I'm on the overtime shift for the next week

Tonight's jobs:
- white wash (fingers crossed the weather's on my side tomorrow)
- sort out laptop. Tried to download something last night which seems to have corrupted it and first system restore hasn't worked!
- do my nails
- prep tomorrow's tea - chicken curry or stir fry?

Fairy, there's enough berries there to make a crumble if you have a few apples loitering around the house

Am planning on having blackberries with oranges for brekkie

A scan is the next thing to try, I just didn't want to leave it running all day whilst we were out at work.

I can you why you all use smiley faces instead of strike through gets so confusing when your editing with strike writen everywhere.
