But it turns out we're rubbish at ongoing tasks...

So we have actually got quite a lot crossed off the list now, but there are some things which we are a long, long way behind on, and quite a few which, actually, it seems like a good idea to scrap.

#2 - So we're clearly woefully behind in terms of updating the blog but this is something we can catch up on.

#3 - There are things we have missed taking a photo of, which is actually a real shame. It would be so great to have the record to look back on. Will do what we can to take 'catch-up' photos, and to take pictures from now on, but have to recognise that sadly, some of the items on the list will not have a photo. (And, actually, what on earth would I take a picture of for #80 anyway?!)

#4 - We're way too far behind on this one to catch up - sadly funds do not allow. Which is a shame because all the money at the end would have been lovely. Time to rethink this one...

#7 - This is a bit too vague. We have visited new places in the UK but have had difficulties deciding whether they were worthwhile enough to be included in the list. Something more specific needed here, but hopefully still about new experiences / places.

#15 - Jo and Adam moved and now live about 30 minutes down the road, so this one is a bit irrelevant now.

#32 - see #7, really, it's the same thing. Not interesting or challenging enough.

#36 - Something I have learnt about myself - I really, really don't care about gardening. Whenever anyone asks what our plans are for our new garden I can't help groaning. At the moment it is an expanse of grass and concrete path and, actually, that's fine with me. I only kill plants anyway. I have no motivation for this one at all, and neither does Chris, so it's definitely one that needs changing.

#39 - We perhaps have managed this one but can't remember. Will change to something still food related but not requiring monthly committment, I think.

#47 - Major fail. So our cars will probably never be as well maintained as they should, but this is dull. Something more exciting, please.

#49 - Actually, we've already done this once (when we thought we'd decided not to move, after all), but we have moved so it needs doing again, and therefore I've left it.

#65 - We've now been married more than 2 years, and therefore should probably get on with this one.

#70 - This just isn't 'us'. I copied it from someone else's list and actually, it just doesn't suit.

#72 - The house move has meant that we no longer have a breakfast bar, so eat at the dining table every day. Not relevant anymore.

#77 - We haven't kept up with this but it would be such a great record to have. Am going to make a renewed effort from now on.

#81 - So we've definitely missed weeks, but this is something we both really enjoy when we actually make the effort to do it. It's staying on the list.

#82 - We're rubbish at committing to something on a monthly basis, what can I say?

#84 - I'm not sure about this one. Leaving it on there for the time being, to possibly be reinstated at some point.

#87 - See #65. This needs to be a priority. 

And that just about brings us up to date. Vital statistics on 3rd January 2010 (Day 368 - 633 still to go).
Tasks completed: 30
Tasks underway: 15
Tasks to be changed: 10
Which leaves 56 tasks still to be completed.

Better get going!
