2012 Weekly Pyramid Challenge - WEEK FOUR

[madhen]

Starting this new thread on a dark and dreary winter morning here, so probably lot's of inside jobs on my plate today!!

[madhen]

For those new to the challenge, it is an inverse pyramid. I start it on Saturday, because I have the weekend off, so can get the most done then, but start it whatever day you choose. You can do the full pyramid (start with 12 things on Sat, then 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 1) or the abbreviated pyramid (7,6,5,4,3,2,1) or whatever geometric shape is your personal favourite.

The goal is to knock out LITTLE things that you keep wanting to do, but they are so minor, you keep putting them off. Examples: change a lightbulb, refill a salt shaker, water a plant...

Good luck and have fun!!
