This thread helped me enormously! But I forgot to come back! Work days aren't an issue for me as I'm very structured but I'm a terrible procrastinator at other times! In fact I got everything on Sunday's list done except the studying, as well as a few extra bits

I think I need a weekly list Mon - Fri so this week I will:

Keep on top of the washing
Chase an FOS complaint I made
Call about an ancient refund I never received
Take the kids to the park
Get packed lunches made each night
2 hours of studying
Wardrobe sort out for eBay Toiletry inventory (not really sure what I still have from the Boots 70% sale last January)
Celebrate being prescription free for the first time since May 2013 :j

Ooh can I sneak batch cook on my list? DH bought far too much mince so instead of cramming it into one giant lasagne I've made two extra individual ones too for freezing

Success with the refund! I was owed £44 from a water bill after moving house back in 2006 and the cheque is on the way :j not much but it'll mean DH will get his birthday gift on time and not 3 days after when I get paid

Maybe this is the thread for me. I am a terrible procrastinator, causes me more problems than enough, I leave everything till the last minute.

A bright early start to the day. I made a list at work last night so hopefully will get plenty of it done. I didn't take any stuff home last night because I went to OH's so there was little point taking it to bring it back again.


I will admit some of these jobs will be delegated to others but if they get done that's the main thing:


[STRIKE]Stick children's writing onto report sheets
Tidy top and[/STRIKE] inside of grey cupboard
Tidy top of desk
Tidy under desk
Self portrait of child who was absent
Finish making wands
[STRIKE]Start washing toys (under supervision so sand is not put in water tray)
Read Hansel and Gretel
Sort 2 bags to take home on Friday
Handwriting sheets[/STRIKE]
[strike]List for library competition[/strike]
Finish pics for library competition
[STRIKE]Top up creative area[/STRIKE]
Take photos for reports
Put photos on report front sheets
Half termly assessments
[STRIKE]Read Nursery Education magazine for outdoors ideas[/STRIKE]
Read 2 chapters of book
[STRIKE]Shower
Lunch for tomorrow[/STRIKE]
Go for a short walk (aim to improve fitness so I can cycle occasionally up hill!)

It all went a bit bonkers today and I ended up spending a lot of the day playing out on the field in the sun with 60children. Means that I didn't get as much done as planned. These will have to roll over until Friday as school is closed tomorrow and I'm going to my new school for the day!

Hi :hello:
My list for today is

• Finish DS room - proving much too difficult, or am I just too good at procrastinating?
• Do 4 loads washing - [COLOR="rgb(139, 0, 0)"]only got 3 done[/COLOR]
• [STRIKE]Reach target 1 on swagbucks[/STRIKE]
• Go to beauticians for a long overdue eyebrow wax

that's it, small enough list, but ds room is proving to be difficult, if I could just dump the stuff without feeling guilty, the battle would be won!!

Sorry for disappearing on you all again, though you all seem to be doing ok without me. Yes, this is definitely a thread for procrastinators, I'm absolutely terrible for putting things off!

No list for today as I've spent the last 5 hours on the phone to various utility companies, mainly British Gas, chasing up a matter that I thought was resolved months ago and I'm about ready to drop by now. :mad:

Definitely procrastinating about extra work;Must try and focus on how much better I will feel when they're done

Happy 'hump' day to all
