Currently I think I'm a little disappointed because I reduced my goals this last season and have achieved only a few but I'm hoping the unexpected additions will surprise me. <br /><br />I'm hoping next season will be better as I'll have a dedicated space but despite the investment in it I'm 'contractually' obliged to deliver less hobby time and more family time, which makes a mockery of the money and effort spent but the $hit needs to go somewhere so we'll just have to see how it pans out. 40kaddicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12763647828123242837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125294933155144215.post-36265912056382007632015-08-12T23:08:56.759+01:002015-08-12T23:08:56.759+01:00Well if you sold them you made your list into 2 go...Well if you sold them you made your list into 2 goals, you achieved one and part achieved another that's 75%, which would be an A* GCSE I believe!

It all came about as an arbitrary To Do List that I set myself and noticed I was reviewing and amending it each year. Last year was the first time I suggested folk could tag along for the journey. Initially I think it really worked, folk got behind each others exploits and it was cool to see the Red Stamp of Approval appearing when people got something done. <br /><br />However, I think we all got a little fatigued as time went on, I lost my mojo a little bit which with hindsight the Hobby Season Alumni is perfect for stimulating progress. When you see that Red Stamp appear you become that little bit more motivated to get something of your own done. It didn't quite work out that way but it's the first time people were giving it a go so perhaps year 2 may be more successfu.40kaddicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12763647828123242837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125294933155144215.post-31601603177679747092015-08-12T18:40:18.762+01:002015-08-12T18:40:18.762+01:00Hi Dave, think it's about time I joined in on ...Hi Dave, think it's about time I joined in on this.
