Today I/we have:
 OK. Challenge complete.  I recruited a not so entusiastic Henri and together we lay our newspaper on the patio table (seriously dirt everywhere - maybe I am learning - hurrah) and recovered the stashed pots from the last attempt, filled them with compost and started the painstaking task of gently lifting out each seedling one at a (*yawn) time - there were approximately 80 of the little darlings.  Ooooo how I forgot that it is literally back breaking work.  Leaning over them trying not to tear the roots.....all are now in pots and sat proudly in the conservatory watered and poised to grow.... well, admitedly they are not as pert as they were before the big transfer but we have tried.  As we worked Digby lay next to us in a blanket cute as button fast asleep exhausted from his op and oblivious to our efforts.  My big concern right now is not that they will die but that my beautifully self-manicured nails have not survived the process (selfish - must work on that.  O what am I on about I am 36 and am too set in my ways now change such selfish behaviour!!).  My memory loss of how much effort is all is to do is already almost forgotton as I am contemplating sowing chilli seeds on Sunday.....I am feeling hugely smug at having completed this challenge but it does remain to be seen as to whether they survive.  Watered and keeping normal house plants alive is one of my failures.....so we'll just see....
  • Emptied bin (pet hate of mine- God knows why, maybe a bin attacked me when I was a nipper)
Yep that's all I've done in terms of housework today!  Whoopsie - standards are slipping!! Ahh what am I talking about - what standards!!!?!

And working on the Goddess in me; I have:

  •  Ran 2.5K first thing this morning (I say ran; I mean jogged at a pace just with a little more action than a walk and it hurt so bad!  That last hill to the house will one day kill me!)
  • Tried very quiffy hairstyle (jury is out still, Henri loves it - so that's a bonus but he's probably being kind!)
And indulged:

  •  Shared a bottle of rose and an M&S deal supper in celebration of the completion of the challenge(I'd love to say successful but we'll see if they survive) seedlings to pots!

What have you done today?.....writing it down gives you an odd sense of achievement - boasting if you like, and why not?....
