    I have lots of annual leave to take at work before April, so have taken a week off this week.

    I am on day 2 of my week off and am sat here doing absolutely nothing. I am not even dressed, haven't taken the dog out yet and am watching daytime TV.

    I was looking forward to my week off as I have so much I need to get done: cleaning, budgeting, gardening, dog training etc

    Am I wasting time, relaxing or procrastinating?!

    I have plans for a couple of days this week so won't be able to get my odd jobs done then. I know full-well at the end of the week I won't have got anything done and will be moaning that I wasted my week!

    Not really a question, more of a moan about my general lack of get up and go!

    I am in a similar boat, had 6 weeks to use before the end of March, used 2 weeks in January and did nowt, supposed to have next week off, but gotta go for an op, so will be on SL so that week will be credited into next FY.

    When I have a week off work and a lot to do I go crazy the first couple of days and do everything even if it means running round like a headless chicken. Then I can spend the rest of the week doing what I like. Bliss! Especially when I feel smug too! What motivates me is the thought of having to do those chores the week after when I am getting in from work at 7.30pm.
