Lists

I am always writing lists - shopping lists, to do lists, to make lists, things to buy in town lists etc etc I always feel guilty however when things aren't crossed off as quickly as I would like. Today I have decided that I will write a list of all the things I have done today (including boring things) so that I can see exactly what I do do in one day and then hopefully I won't feel guilty about not crossing things off my list!
I'll edit this post just before I go to bed tonight so you can see what I have done today - it's up to 12 things already!

Right here is the list - I've edited it now so things should make a bit more sense and I've moved the picture from at the end to the middle where it breaks up the long list! Also I was feeling sick and went to bed early - that's why there are no entries after 8.30

These next 2 things I did all day - managing grumpy children who don’t want to do what I ask them to and also all day sorting out bickering with them or just watching them play – I didn’t want to detail all of those things separately!

I have also counted the number of things done and it reaches an impressive 77 things! Hmmm, next time I am feeling down about not crossing things off my list then perhaps I should have a look here!
