301k in debt and morbidly obese - things aren't great!

Hope you can get Mrs B car sorted then
Today the line was crossed between Holiday Relaxation and Unemployed Torpor. It has been getting progressively more difficult to motivate myself to do anything, let alone anything productive.
Ditto - idled the day away in the garden today and I so wanted to get on top of Eb*y mountain - relying on it this month to keep out of the OD...................Be the change you want to see -with apologies to Gandhi

Mr B it might be time for an Eb*y session..............
From Sept 4th:
"Final value fees will be charged based on the combined value of the item listed plus postage. For example, if an item sells for £20 with postage cost of £4, the final value fee will be charged based on the combined value of £24. This will not apply if the listing offers collection only. "

Veering off the path of righteousness at an alarming rate. McDonalds for breakfast, a visit to the cinema and an afternoon where wine is winning out over ebaying - doh! Have got 6 items back up for sale and at this rate might well end the day with 10. Oh well, there's always tomorrow to pick myself up again.2011: 301k in debt and morbidly obese (DFW)

Today I had/have a whole bunch of tasks. Maybe writing them down will help me focus cos the plot is well and truly lost at the moment.
- Remove desk/chair from DS's room - DONE
- Rearrange DD's room - DONE but it's still a tip, so
- Tidy DD's room - DONE (sort of)
- Remove giant box of ebay material from my wardrobe which meant my clothes all hung funny and sapped my will to live - DONE moved downstairs.
- Sort out Porch - All porch items removed and then put back when I realised there was nowhere else for them to go.
- Sort out Understairs Cupboard - Cleared out entire thing - but then had to put everything back cos nowhere else etc, etc. Swapped one ebay box for another.
- Put stuff from Porch / Understairs Cupboard into Shed - Shed full to bursting one again, have one box to put it in but that will then be at full capacity. DONE - box now in rendering shed utterly inaccessible for anything.
- Hoover upstairs - DONE
- Mop Floor - Am going to throw the mop javelin-styley into the back recess of the shed. Will then be able to use the shed excuse for not doing it.
- Cut lawn - Now impossible unless I use scissors. Lawnmower at least 30 minutes of shed tetris away from accessibility.
- Weed - As above.
- Charge up kids' electric toys - Sorry kids but Daddy has filled the shed with crap and now can't get to anything.
- Relax - this is wine-related and so will have to wait until I have done the station run to pick up my princesses later.
- Get showered and shaved - am now clean. Shaving can wait til tomorrow. Mrs B likes the rugged look. She's going to have to.
- Sort out paperwork - Can't do paperwork- it's sunny.
- Sort out hell of cables behind TV - that can wait til Spring. As Autumn approaches the faint whiff of burning electricals adds a country cottage logfire ambience to our family room
Once I get all that done then the only thing left to do will be
- Drink at least one bottle of wine2011: 301k in debt and morbidly obese (DFW)

Serious??.............here
De-lurking from Mr Bloater's thread which has given me many a laugh over the last few months since I discovered it, but i had to see what the sloblady thread was all about and have just frittered away a good hour or two while England have fought their way back into the 4th test, laughing my head off at this thread. Much cheaper than therapy, having a laugh at these threads.Every penny's a prisoner
