I was supposed to post this yesterday when it was still April. But I didn’t, mostly because I was feeling a bit under the weather and I had an early night instead. You’ll be glad to know I am feeling a gazillion percent better today so now you can all find out the results of [...]

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 [...]

Remember that saying – Another month, another personal challenge? No, nor do I. I just made it up… I find it very hard to believe that this time last year my personal challenge was to get ready to go back to school. That seems so long ago. This month I am setting a more creative [...]

It’s been two months since I checked my progress on my day zero challenge. I blame Christmas. Given that this round up should contain two whole months of achievements, you’d expect it to be chock full of things I can cross off my list. I hope we’re not sorely disappointed… *deep breath* 2. Use our [...]

For 34 and a half 21 years I did no regular exercise. Back in the days BC I did pilates on a semi-regular basis, but if a better offer (i.e. The Pub) came up I wouldn’t think twice about skipping the class. Occasionally I would decide to join Mr TOPP on a run. We would [...]

Since we started our little family I have wanted to have an advent calendar that we can use year after year, one that doesn’t only give chocolates. Over the last couple of years I have seen a few in shops, but none of them were the one for our family. Hmmm. What to do? I [...]

I cannot believe that it is now twenty whole months when I sat on my sofa, heavily pregnant, about to move house and wrote my day zero list. I can remember it vividly. Mostly because I should probably have been packing boxes ready for the move. My ability to work-avoid never ceases to amaze me. [...]

SInce we had Big M nearly four where the hell did the time go? years ago, I have wanted to make a reusable advent calendar that can become part of our family Christmas tradition. I wanted to make one so much I even put it on my Day Zero list. See, it’s there at number [...]

If I am totally honest, I haven’t really thought about my day zero list this month. I know, I know. Slap my legs. I think the problem is that it’s getting harder to cross things off as a lot of the things that are left are Big Ones. Like go to France. Pfff. I think [...]
