    I'm one of the world's worst procrastinators and can find zillions of reasons to not do something, so I think I will give myself a kick up the backside and join this thread.

    So here goes

    1. Will not buy any alcohol this week. :eek:
    2. Start to tidy up greenhouse.
    3. Go to garden centre, buy growbags and plant tomatoes and sweet peppers.
    4. Plant runner beans provided that we get some rain. ;)
    5. Keep up to date with household chores.
    6. Try out a new recipe

    There I think that will do for starters.
