what a pointless exercise - with a sprinkle of kinda fun - try it. and if like moi you like a good list then you also might like the day zero project you set up your own little (big) list and it meaures your % rate of achievements - you list 101 things you would like to do/achieve/make/whatever and you have 1001 days in which to do them - as previously mentioned i love a list and i love 101/1001 (despite my 2% complete score to date - i have 920 days and counting and i WILL tick every box)
I also remembered today that next month is time for toffee apples and with next month only 2 sleeps away then hooray for toffee apples..
and now before i turn into a pumpkin (eep pumpkins are only 2 more sleeps away too! how topical) i bid you good night xx
