Hi Grant.

This is what I have for a repeating task every Friday morning.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
** TODO Hancock's half hour, new programmes on Radio 4
SCHEDULED: <2014-11-28 Fri 11:30 +7d>
- State "DONE"       from "TODO"       [2014-11-21 Fri 18:11]
- State "DONE"       from "TODO"       [2014-11-14 Fri 12:18]
- State "DONE"       from "TODO"       [2014-11-02 Sun 08:34]
:LOGBOOK:  
- State "DONE"       from "TODO"       [2014-11-07 Fri 13:57]
- State "DONE"       from "TODO"       [2014-11-01 Sat 10:06]
:END:      
:PROPERTIES:
:LAST_REPEAT: [2014-11-21 Fri 18:11]
:END:
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

To progress it from TODO via DONE and back to TODO, I do "C-c t d"
and its all set up for the next week.

Hope this helps
Sharon.
