Hello peeps - Happy Friday!
TM6 I too am a procrastinator and I find that it is 10x worse thinking about whatever it is that needs to be done than the actually deadly deed itself. I always, always wish I had done things quicker once they have been done and wonder why on earth I had put it off for so long!
Well today I have:
- Booked my weekend away using my tesco vouchers with DH for our silver anniversary (which was last August) where we are going up in a hot air balloon (again using tesco deals) which has been something on my bucket list
- Filled in return form to Amazon for a mobile phone that my DH ordered for me, but I don't want it as the one from Tesco for £9.97 suits me just fine
- Made a couple of appointments for my regular customers
- Only money spent has been for DD to go to cadets
- Updated spreadsheets
Think that's about it. Working in the morning so early night for me after a nice hot luxurious bath (oooh! think that's another positive):j:j
Have a great weekend everyone :wave:When you were born, you were crying and everyone around was smiling. Live your life so at the end, you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying!:rotfl:

It's really windy here so I have braved it up the garden to get the towels in already which i put out yesterday, they were dry! Thought I looked a state and that it was a good job that everyone was still in bed , me in a vest top cardi pj bottoms and wellies, it wasn't until I was walking down the path taking the washing in and noticed a wardrobe misfunction on the left upper side that i realised how lucky I was that everyone was still in bed:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:, very tricky to pop yourself back in with an arm full of washing basket:rotfl::rotfl:

Good Morning all. Yes its windy in my part of the country too.
I TOO AM A TERRIBLE PROCRASTINATOR. Its there with my over eating and over spending.
Why do we do these things ? I know it will only cause me hurt, pain and stress later.
Not much on my list for today, as I have my yr old GD staying with me.
