Hi crafting mad, I might start keeping a list of what I do through the day, I reckon I do far more than I realise. I also need to look at the 1% challenge. I have subscribed to your thread.

Thank you ajmoney - I was really surprised by how all the little things mount up. Keeping a list really helps to keep me motivated and reminds me that the little things do matter xx
