Day 5 of task

Day 5 of the tasks and I'm doing well. I have done a few tasks and am working on the rest slowly!!This is me blogging some pics of the things I have done so far.

These are the bird foods I have put in the garden. Also me cleaning out Cheryl and Ashley this month and them in the little box they go in when their tank is being cleaned out. As you can see from the pics, they don't like this little box!!

Well it's 3 days away from the start of my challenge!! Have to say I hope I can complete the full list in time. Anyway will keep blogging and adding pics everytime I complete a task so hopefully loads of blogs on here!!

Gemma's 101 things to do in 1001 days

The Mission:
Complete 101 preset tasks in a period of 1001 days.
The Criteria:
Tasks must be specific (ie. no ambiguity in the wording) with a result that is either measurable or clearly defined. Tasks must also be realistic and stretching (ie. represent some amount of work on my part).
Why 1001 Days?
Many people have created lists in the past – frequently simple goals such as New Year’s resolutions. The key to beating procrastination is to set a deadline that is realistic. 1001 Days (about 2.75 years) is a better period of time than a year, because it allows you several seasons to complete the tasks, which is better for organising and timing some tasks such as overseas trips or outdoor activities.
Start Date 1st October 2009
Finish Date 28th June 2012
