What are you doing? & what should you be doing?

[lucysmam]

I'm drinking coffee & scrolling t'interweb...

I should be cleaning the bathroom & then making buttercream for dd1's birthday cake but cba.

What about you lot?

I'm lying on my sofa mumsnetting with a bad cold.

I could be drinking raspberry leaf tea/bouncing on an exercise ball/eating pineapple as I'm 39+3 but I've decided the baby can stay in now till I've got over my cold!

Eating toast and dicking around on the internet.

There are any number of things I should/ could be doing instead, not least the pile of ironing which is threatening to topple over to my left.

Eating christmas cake and arsing around on Mumsnet. I have a long list of things to do. I will be fine once I start

Sitting in my car eating chocolate.
Should be going to my next clean. Lacking motivation!

Having breakfast at last (scrambled eggs on nice toast).

I should be prepping for a client call and onboarding my new VA, but I can do that later this morning.

I've done all my housework though (or at least all I intend to do).

I love these threads, by the way. I find them oddly soothing.

I'm at work, eating a Belvita soft bake, drinking coffee and browsing MN.

I should be working I suppose, seeing as that's what I'm being paid to do, but Thursdays are my busiest day, so I like to take 10 mins to eat my brekkie.

I am sat listening to my husband on a conference call... I should be watching crappy tv that I'd saved up to watch alone on MY only day off for a week. It's fine 😂

Eating caramel waffles, MNing and listening to Popmaster. I SHOULD be ironing or cleaning up the pile of cat sick on the back doorstep.

Scrolling through MN. I should be writing the strategic planning process and a paper on trademarking.

I’m on MN. I should be sleeping because I was on night shift last night and I’m on back shift tonight.

Scrolling through MN and procrastinating. I need to go to the shops and I'm deliberating what we can have for tea tonight.

Having a cup of tea and watching the birds in the garden. It’s feeding time and we have huge number of sparrows, a few pigeons and two blue tits on the feeders.

I should be working, but I finished one commission yesterday and my next has been put back to Monday, to having a extended weekend!

Off to visit my best friend in Hungary later this evening, not seen her since last summer so excited for that!

All is good!

I've just had a nap and I'm listening to Lies Sleeping on Audible. And, messing about on the internet. I should at least be fully awake but that can wait. I will at some point potter about and make some fallback.

Flapjack!!

I should be doing educational stuff with my home-ed DC. Instead, I've stuck on an educational programme & am hiding in another room looking at random stuff on my phone while they watch it because I've had a minor falling out with some friends & was already feeling a bit fragile & really didn't need yet another reminder that I don't really understand social rules & therefore will probably never truly fit in anywhere. I'll pull myself together in a bit & get on with things, just need to wallow for a few minutes!

Drinking coffee, watching the Professionals and making potato soup while the baby is playing. I should be getting ready to go to Aldi but I'm having a nice peaceful morning here and don't fancy it yet.

Watching the pottery throw down but should be reading for my MA.

Sat on the sofa on my phone hiding from the workmen outside as I’m still in my bright pink dressing gown! I should be tidying the house and getting the washing sorted.

I'm eating Nutella with a spoon while I read this. I should be working. I'm classing this as my mid morning break

Drinking coffee and buggering about on the natternet.
What I should be doing is having a shower then walking the dog. ( Who seems to have got fed up of waiting and has gone back to sleep )
It's all under control though, I've got a frozen chilli con carne out for tea 😁

Snuggled up in bed watching YouTube videos of haunted houses when I should be doing coursework.

Scrolling MN and a mountain of paperwork in front of me, have been on call all week so taking a little me time, with a hot pack on my shoulders for stress!

Watching Greys Anatomy and drink in NG hot chocolate.

I should be cleaning the car, getting birthday presents and cards and milk, ironing, emptying the dishwasher, cleaning the bathroom and a million other things, jot least the assignment which is due in next week.

But instead I'm drinking hot chocolate and watching Greys Anatomy.

@crosspelican, I think it's the reassurance of knowing you're not the only one with several billion "to-dos", that isn't doing them.

I've scrubbed the bath & am now eating a piece of giant cookie before work. I'll do the rest of it later on...after making icing
