With six months to go I am coming to realise that I am not going to complete my day zero list within the allotted time. This makes me sad, mostly because I should have known I was being over ambitious with some of my goals. Still, we have to aim high eh? Let’s see if [...]

Two years ago, just a week before moving house, and a month before Little M finally decided to get out of me, I decided I didn’t have enough to do so I made myself a Day Zero list. I have just eight months left, and have only completed 53.5% of my list. I’m beginning to [...]
