    Staying in bed is the beginner level. Getting up and then doing nothing (apart from the odd tea run ;)). Now THAT takes commitment :D.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    I would say not getting washed or dressed is a wholly acceptable stage.

    In fact NHS should really bring out a new App - 'Bed to Couch in 5 Weeks' I'd subscribe (as long as I don't actually need to do anything to subscribe that is).

    We are pros at this. We get odd looks from the neighbours at weekends and sometimes I feel we should plan and do things but it takes far too much effort.

    Two separate tasks there AJ - planning and doing. Planning is much to be desired - it can take up hours and hours of your valuable time :D. Carrying it out though - well that's a big no-no :naughty:.

    I was contemplating going out and doing some weeding but fortunately it looks like rain will be starting soon :T.

    But I can't always be bothered to plan either. The only things I plan and carry out have to do with holidays.

    My dd3 put her pj's on Friday night and is still wearing them... I despair. I have just kicked her on my lap top.

    Have spent all day painting phone box and really pleased as looks fab. Even has gold crowns.

    Sorry GG I failed the challenge. Was painting by 8. DH did far better, think he joined me around 10. DD3 was still sleeping at this pint.

    Despair? You should be proud you've raised her so well :T
