Achievements List 2012

Review on 31/12/12 - I'm pretty pleased with this list, it's definitely made me focus on what I have achieved, rather than fretting about what hasn't been done.  I'm going to do it again next year and, with a non-working day each week, I am hoping for an even longer list or certainly to have learnt new skills.
