I have the house to myself this weekend
I am supposed to have wrapped a ton of presents, caught up with the laundry, tidied up and finished the Xmas shopping
This would mean a far more restful week and a less hectic run up to Xmas
So what am I doing?
Sitting in Starbucks with a coffee
And yesterday i sat on the sofa and watched repeats of "say yes to the dress"Grin
Anyone else struggling?
Care to help me with my motivation and I'll try and help with yours

I am sitting on the sofa, eating mince pies and watching homes under the hammer Blush

There is a very long list waiting to be completed but I cannot shift myself long enough to do anything about it.

I’ve got a ton of boring domestics to do today.

Gardai · 15/12/2019 12:22

I’ve a lot to do and I’m in bed drinking coffee doing feck all.
I do like say yes to the dress too OP

AutumnRose1 · 15/12/2019 12:23

I’m thinking of having a nap 😳

I have just about recovered from flu and have been ill for five weeks. Both DH and I are exhausted by illness. We need to tackle the equivalent of six clean baskets of laundry and get the Christmas decorations down from the loft. So far we have drunk a lot of tea and been on our i pads in bed. He has just showered and now I’m forced to do the same.

Yep, I have not finished buying Christmas presents yet, not bought any wrapping paper or cards, not bought any food. Luckily I'm not hosting this year but I need to buy some bottles to take to various houses. I just can't face it today. I'm currently watching TV with DS.

hobnobsaremyfavourite · 15/12/2019 13:18

Right
I've made a start with the wrapping
Laundry next
Keep having to stop myself from wandering off for a coffee
Feel a bit more motivated and I have to get the wrapping done before DH and the dc's arrive back
Keep going guys

Good for you relaxing when you had the house to yourself; I love when that happens although it's a very rare occurrence! Smile

hobnobsaremyfavourite · 15/12/2019 13:50

It's been bliss being home aloneGrin
I do have to say that I hate wrapping presents 😫

Pinkarsedfly · 15/12/2019 14:12

I’m in the bath.

Day 5 of flu. DH’s Birthday night out tonight has been cancelled.

It’s his birthday tomorrow and it’s looking like a total non-starter.

Fed up.

I am also just starting to recover from flu which has ruined my christmas prep, 3+ weeks i have been out of action. Why did i not get the bloody flu jab!

ssd · 15/12/2019 14:24

I don't have the excuse of illness here, just lazy bastarditis.
Am in bed eating crisps and drinking baileys out a tea cup.
Dh watching football since 12 so can't get near the telly.
2 presents bought so far. Eekk.

Flu is the pits
Anyone with flu is allowed to be as absolutely bone idle as they want

SunshineInMySprocket · 15/12/2019 15:47

I need some motivation too! Wrapping to be done, shopping too, errands to run and I need to pack for our trip too. Busy watching Virgin River at the moment Grin

hobnobsaremyfavourite · 15/12/2019 15:53

Planning to reward myself with an amble to the pub later Grin
