PB Rides Again....Life's Never Smooth, Is it?!

Comments

  • Hi all,

    So more things have been moved to the charity shop, and I managed to give one of the objects I was more enamoured with to someone who will use it well, so I'm happy as it's not wasted. :)

    I don't seem to have done much else, though, today, although saying goodbye to mummy PB was a big part of it. Here is my list of things to do this evening:
    1. Finish off online application form (get required paperwork)
    2. Fill out other form to post
    3. Find photo for present
    4. Log onto job website
    5. Apply for job
    6. Make time schedule
    7. Take Ebay photos (just in case they decide to invite me to the Free Listings Weekend)
    8. [If there's time] Write up recipes to recipe book.
    Let's see how far I get as I also need to cook dinner and declutter some wine.

    *Puts fingers in ears and hums loudly*

    I know what you are saying, but I can't listen to it. I'm *technically* a slumdog millionaire but I can't deal with the slumming anymore! :p It's gotta go!

    Sorry, it wasn't a dig at you PB. :) I know you needed to get rid...and if I'm absolutely honest I do too but I just can't bear to just give things away. I should really just so that I have a de cluttered house-then I might have a de cluttered mind too.
    I just haven't had the kick up the backside I need to just be ruthless-pity you don't live round the corner, you could help! :rotfl: I bet you're so pleased you don't live just round the corner now I've said that. :rotfl:

    I know it wasn't. :) I think the amount of stuff I had was just so overwhelming that I couldn't have dealt with it all and so it would have just kept hanging around and I would have felt really :( with it all here, so I had to make some executive decisions. Alas, I am procrastinating big style and still haven't listed anything so far, which is VERY NAUGHTY. Tell me off, tc!

    And if I did happen to live just round the corner I would help you in a jiffy...on an understanding that you would come round and help me afterwards. ;) I think it's much easier when there is someone else there to help motivate you.

    Right, I need to get on with these listings. All I managed to get done off yesterday's 'To Do' list was declutter then wine and a LurveFilm DVD. :o I had better get on with it. Here's the plan:

    Today: photograph and list the large number of books I have to
    get rid of. Apply for job. Do washing up.
    Tomorrow: list clothing items (and hopefully old course stuff).
    Finish off paperwork that desperately needs doing.

    Kick my bum if I don't do it. I don't seem to have as much motivation as I normally do!

    Your lists are long, detailed and most importantly....get done. :rotfl: Can't say the same for mine so much. :o

    Hope you get some time just for you this weekend too :)


    I've been watching Tedx talks while I take photographs as a way of inspiring myself. I now need to list all those books :eek:
    Wish me very good luck! I think I need a cup of tea, first...:beer:

    Hey, if I lived round the corner, I'd be right there with you. :D I totally agree having someone just there is more motivational than being on your own.
    Miss tc wrote my to do list today. :rotfl: she got all my notepads together and looked at lots of previous to do lists and anything that wasn't ticked she wrote on today's list.
    It's a looonnngg list. But I'm getting there. :)

  • I'm listing, honest! Having said that it is taking ages partially as I seem to be sold and partially as I can't seem to upload the photos easily - it keeps making me do it again. :mad: I've only managed 3 items so far!
