  1. Hi Cathy - thanks so much for adding your numbers to my 'Month in Numbers' feature! What a great list you've got there. I've always promised myself I'd 'Go Ape' too ..... so you've got there ahead of me! [I also noticed that you've just read Ingenious Pain - it's one of my favourite novels].

    Your list is such a great idea for a blog. Have you thought about adding something in the sidebar telling people when you started and how long you've got to fit in all your brilliant plans? Just so we can follow the story of your list at a glance.

    Thanks again for joining in this month.

    Julie :-)
