    Hi, can I join in this please? I have loads to do and should have the time to do everything but always put things off, e.g I have been going to list things on ebay for months. So by the end of this week I aim to

    1- finish my last essay for college done this
    2- list 10 things on ebay not done will do do tomo
    3- sort things to do car boot didn't realise car boot had closed for winter but have done this
    4- clean bathroom on list to do tomo
    5- clean out rabbit done

    Think thats enough to start with.

    Oh well, not a bad start and at least I got the most important ones out of the way
  • i haven't done anything from my list today, it's too cold!
    and i don't have a heater in my room! lol
  • I haven't done anything off my list either! I ended up shopping, though only spent £12 on stuff I needed... and forgot the folders I needed to get for my course notes. Oops :S
