...determined to get a whole list of things done, and then realise as it starts to get dark that you've hardly done any of them? And that you are now on the fourth day of being so determined. sad

I need the proverbial rocket. hmm

I then disappear for hours at a time.

Log out is the only thing that works for me.

It's great to know others are the same as me. I haven't had my nose out of the door all week. Full of good intentions, then late up and before I know it the day has gone. I have spent a lot of time attempting to make sugar paste roses for the WI cake. (Learning from YouTube.) It has to be ready by Tuesday so that is taking priority. DH likes going to Tesco and does most of the cooking so I have been able to stay in.

Oldgreymare Fri 16-Jan-15 17:55:31

Well someone's got to do it jingl!

jinglbellsfrocks Fri 16-Jan-15 17:45:07

I have got a few jobs done since I started this thread, including going down the Co-op and buying a couple of Creme eggs. Just to do a taste test, of course. smile

OGM I walked into town on Monday. Clocked up 976 steps in the day! Since then - zilch! [sigh]

We have decorating that needs doing but can't get around tuit.
I did glance at the thread on here, though.

jinglbellsfrocks Fri 16-Jan-15 17:40:27

Yes. That's it Tegan. Once you actually get started, the jobs don't take very long. It's the getting started that's the hard bit.

Oldgreymare Fri 16-Jan-15 17:25:43

Me too Jingl.... made myself walk into town (instead of snoozing on the sofa).
I bought a box file and an envlope file. I AM going to sort out my life blush..... in fact I'm off right now.... well in a minute or so......

I have washed the kitchen and bathroom floors though.

numberplease Fri 16-Jan-15 17:18:18

For the last 2 weeks I`ve been cleaning out 3 of my kitchen cupboards. Every morning I get up thinking I`ll do those cupboards today, get them over and done with. Have I started them? Have I heck!!

Tegan Fri 16-Jan-15 17:10:05

I was thinking that the other day. Because I now wake up when I wake up [late blush]and before I know it it's dark and I stop doing things that need doing. The things that do need doing here would probably take a couple of hours but I just keep looking at them and doing something else [cup of tea; computer etc].

Impressed jings only your fourth day. I'm on my fourth year. One day one day I will accomplish all I set out to do

loopylou Fri 16-Jan-15 16:37:12

Shame to let the second one 'go off'! grin

vampirequeen Fri 16-Jan-15 16:32:45

Then by law you have to eat the other one grin

I succumbed to chocolate cheesecake whilst in Waitrose earlier. Trouble is, it only comes in 2 slice packs blush

loopylou Fri 16-Jan-15 16:20:53

No choice about going out*jingl*, car needed new headlight bulb (as I discovered in the dark driving home from University last night), parents shopping to do etc- can blame them for doughnut as was in bakery for them smile!

jinglbellsfrocks Fri 16-Jan-15 16:20:27

It gets you nowhere!!! shock

jinglbellsfrocks Fri 16-Jan-15 16:19:57

It's like hiding away from what you should be doing - coming on GN.

jinglbellsfrocks Fri 16-Jan-15 16:18:45

At least you've washed yours phoenix!

jinglbellsfrocks Fri 16-Jan-15 16:17:25

The fact that you bought a jam doughnut (envy) means you actually went out! Respect! (To loopy)

Anne58 Fri 16-Jan-15 16:16:13

I'm only here while I wait for the kitchen floor to dry, honest!

daffydil Fri 16-Jan-15 16:14:49

I agree with GillT57. Gransnet can eat up more time than anything. I start with 'just' going on the Good Morning thread and then think I wll 'just' catch up on another topic and so on. I will have to be more disciplined.
