Anyone else want to join? Lol.
I'm meant to be writing an essay on the uses of Radioisotopes in Carbon Dating (due in 5 days) and so far today, I have written 0 words.... BUT... I have however... manicured and painted my nails (1 hour taken), gone out to lunch (hour and a half), watched some pointless crap on youtube (1 hour), stared at my messy house (10 minutes), watched a movie (hour and a half) and GOD knows what else for the rest of the day! I SUCK! Lol

Oh can I join?
The washing that I did this morning hasn't made it to the line. The dishes haven't been done, the folded washing hasn't been put away. Nothing is out for dinner. Homework hasn't been supervised, baby isn't in bed. The housework fairy STILL hasn't turned up! ------------- Mr Mellow (16) Miss Attitude (8) Destructa Kid (3)

Ahhh, my DP could join in here....I'm still waiting for the lawnmower to be fixed (10 weeks so far....) so the lawns can be mowed (last mowed 9 weeks ago when he borrowed a lawnmower)...my oil change is still waiting, nearly 5 months after buying the oil and oil filter....it took 2 months for the towel rail and curtain track to be put up.....should I continue??? LOL I love him to bits though

I was procrastinating today about doing housework....rang DH and told him that I will do it all on the weekend if he looks after the young fella!! So was procrastinating - until the cat decided to vomit on our bed, so was forced to wash the duvet, duvet cover, mink blanket....if only she had done it earlier in the day then I could have hung them out in the sunshine to dry!!!!

My middle name is procrastination!
I am at work and over the course of an hour I spend maybe half of it working, 20 mins on Ohbaby and the other 10 mins making a coffee/daydreaming/Facebook/recipe researching..... Times that by 8 hours minus lunch time and then I go home! |

I have an ache in my head so I've decided that I should just chill out on the couch with the laptop and watch cartoons with Nyah.
I'll do stuff tomorrow. ------------- Mr Mellow (16) Miss Attitude (8) Destructa Kid (3)

Hi my name is Kc and I am a procrastinator.. Oh yes.
I have been putting off the gym rather successfully for the last 6 weeks. I needed to clean the bathroom, oh , a week ago! My husband killed our lawn last year = still needs to be replanted. Need to clean out our spare room of all the junk.. I think the list goes on. But the one im most proud of is the successful dodging of the gym! ------------- http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/2128f6">

*stands up* Hello, my name is Jo and I'm a procrastinator. I have been a procrastinator for nearly 30 years.
Lou, I was sooooo bad when I was studying. None of my school work would get done but my bedroom would be spotless. Now I don't know where my time goes, it's definitely not on the housework. I've been told that good mummies don't have washing mountains - if that's the prerequisite I'm happy to be a bad mummy -------------

My Mt Washmore is taking over my bedroom. I'll fold it soon.
My aunty and mum are coming over later after we've been to Sylvia Park and it means that I have to like pick things up and move them to where they should be... what a mission! ------------- Mr Mellow (16) Miss Attitude (8) Destructa Kid (3)

The joys of having a spare room  although I'm now seriously considering moving to a 4 bedroom place so that my mess has 2 spare rooms to occupy might just be easier to tidy up (or nag DH until he does ) -------------

It's 2:26pm. I've been back at work (from lunch) for nearly 1.5 hours and I finish work in an hour. What have I done since getting back from lunch? Well, I've been on OB of course - oops, I seriously just meant to check my PM then leave. -------------

How's that Mount Washmore .Mel?
Hey that reminds me .Mel - I think I might have seen you the other day walking past the Fire Station on Onehunga Mall. Can't remember what day it was, but I was stopped at the lights and a lady with a wee girl in a school uniform and little boy in a buggy walked past. It was actually Cooper that I thought I recognised from a pic I saw on here. Or, it might not have been you at all! |

Yay for being halfway there Lou. I'm trying to write my thesis and its not happening for me today. Come to think of it, it wasn't happening for me last week either  Sigh. I've just had a 75 minute coffee break, so I really should get to work.
There is no way its going to be done in five weeks  ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

*twiddles thumbs waiting for Joshierocks to log on so I have someone to procrastinate with*
I have 3 kids this weekend and my spare room is still a dumping ground. I'm hoping DH will clean it up before I get home so I don't have to. -------------
