Transforming my to-do list - hopefully!

My lovely Mother-in-Law, Pat, had this large, page to a day, diary given to her but she couldn't use it. She asked if I would use it and I immediately said yes as I had an idea for it.






At the moment my to-do list comprises of two pieces of paper - see below!


But now my to do list is here!


It's also acting as a reminder for me to do certain things on certain days such as book the car in and pick up my prescription etc. My work to-do list will start making it's way over into the diary soon as most of the things in there so far are housework/domestic. The reason for that is this, which is written in for today :)



Get train to London! As you may be aware, Matt works away quite a bit and is currently working in London. However, this is his last week there for a while so he arranged for the aforementioned lovely MIL to come over (hence all the housework!) so that I can spend a few days in London with him. He will be working during the day but I'm sure I will find plenty of things* to do!

*The East End Thrift Store is where I found 7 dresses for £20 in the summer. Hoping for bargains like that this time too :)

That's how I manage my to-do lists too - I've tried online lists but find it much better to be able to see at a glance what I'm doing do to day. I'm amazed you haven't decorated your new diary yet though!

Have a fab time in that London :)

I HAVE to have my lists in my diary. To such an extent that they even feature on my blog banner! I've managed to downsize from an A4 to an A5 diary this year, which probably means I'm achieving less :)
