    You know i am dying to know what is on your dreaded work list :rotfl::rotfl: i'm just a nosy nebber today :D:D :rotfl:

    It's the list of stuff you have to do but you don't want to - and you keep thinking about it - and every morning you say to your self I'm going to clear that today - and then you don't - and it lurks away until it becomes a crisis and you have to dig yourself out of it - and once it's done you say to yourself now why didn't you just do it!!:rotfl:Otherwise known as the procrastination list!! Hence why I joined this thread!!

    I'm 26 and before I moved out in 2007 for my job, my sortofmum bought me a giant easter bunny from m&s, and laid a trail of eggs from my bedroom door all the way down the stairs to where she had hidden the bunny! Never too old :D
