My LOT spans two pages - one is numbered ix the other 1. The first chapter starts with page number 2. I would like my first chapter to start with page number 1.
So my contents page looks like this
Contents
List of Figures .......... viii
List of Tables ............. ix
Introduction ................ 2
Aims & Objectives ............7
and so on..........

:). tex.sx is somewhat different from other places to find help on the web, we prefer our special question & answer format, and new users have to get used to it. You'll see the advantages of this format when you're browsing through other users' questions. – doncherry Oct 31 '12 at 19:32
