    Morning
    First confession time. I have been faffing. It's true. Probably the after effects of having visitors, relaxing. Nothing wrong with that but need to get back in the swing. Have all these big thoughts and plans, then within hours I say to myself, I'll do it tomorrow..or just a quick game of bejewelled on FB, and that's it.

    So last night I menu planned and online Tesco'd ! Today paint brush at the ready. Bathroom to empty ready for later this week :j
    Still have to put camera and old PS2 on ebay.

    Not decluttered for at least two weeks :o

    Have shiny new printer ready for CV printing.

    This will be a faff free zone today.
    DC.

    Hi DC...everyone faffs lol, I am a hideous faffer but lets face it, bejewelled is ridiculously addictive, and encourages the faffness!!

    You are right Kirsten, I'm thinking of resigning from all FB apps, it really is a bad addiction, from bejewelled to cafeworld, scrabble, just all too much for a serial faffer like me.

    So I managed to get 75% of my tasks done yesterday, still procrastination over the ebay listings and CV.

    The plumbers are here though :j. It's hard to 'do' anything when the house is full of dust drills and builders bums....(take that as you will ;)) over protective dog jumping at every sound. Am actually kicking my heels.
    Should get on with CV....

    Yep, we all have our weaknesses.

    I'm a sucker for MSE. I really have to watch the time I spend on this site.

    I'm so glad I haven't discovered FB apps, as I don't think i'd ever be off the scrabble :rolleyes:

    Why do you always want a wee as soon as the water is turned off ?
