Achieving and not achieving

:: Achieving ::

 
- Getting 24 hour marmalade on the go, with a little help from Teddy and my sister (whisk not essential, but fun). Recipe to follow tomorrow (in 24 hours, see?), assuming it's nice.

 - Crossing at least some of the stuff of the never-ending To Do list

- Finding an old poaching pan in the charity shop to add to Teddy's treasure basket (an ever rotating basket of goods to keep him entertained when Mummy urgently needs to cross off a few more things from the To Do list)

 

- Piling up a load of stuff to sell on Ebay in advance of the anticipated house move in April (I really hope we find somewhere - our crappy rental agents want to put our rent up and charge us a whacking great fee for doing so) 

- Finally producing a loaf of sourdough after what feels like weeks of nurturing the weird smelling starter. (I am so sorry for that appalling photo. Never leave photographing for the blog till 9:45pm)

:: Not achieving ::

- Actually edible sourdough bread (so nice to know that I've spent 10 minutes of every day for the past two weeks in the production of something no one wants to eat. Back to good old fashioned normal bread for a while I think)

 - Getting a refund on the massive box of broken jars that arrived last week in preparation for the beginning of the 2010 preserving season (as always, the year is kicked off by the marmalade. I buy the fruit from Riverford Organic, who I get an organic box delivery from every week)

- Tackling any of the mounting pile of paperwork that accumulates when you're working for yourself. If you look closely you'll notice that 'do paperwork' hasn't even made it onto the To Do list yet. That's how much in denial I am

- Photographing or listing any of the Ebay stuff. Which mostly means that what I've done is create a junk-we-don't-want mountain in the middle of our (really quite small) dining room. Hmmmm.

Tomorrow is another day though. Possibly with another list...

So glad you're getting the refund! I'd say that adds up to quite a lot of achieving ...
