Sweetie just think of how much LESS you would have gotten done, if you didn't have the list to spur you on! Better to plan on 53 and complete 24, than to plan on 7 and complete 2!!

P.S. You used the #43 twice - that may be why things don't add up ;)

that is an amazing list - well done! and good aims for the future too. i really find making a list helps. although your list has made me feel a bit lazy - mine only has about 10 things on it!!

good luck with it all and looking forward to seeing your progress as always x
