If you’re reading this, you’re obviously on MN!
But what should you be doing instead?

I'm supposed to doing an online grocery order but I’m just so fed up of spending money on the same old rubbish, week after week!
Came on here, to get some inspiration for meal ideas, so I’m actually doing “research”, and not mindlessly scrolling at all 😜

I have a piece of work I need to do by the end of the day which requires a lot of concentration and time. I just cannot, on any level, be arsed, even though I enjoy my work and I am privileged to do it.
Also still need to do my tax return. Tomorrow is the last day. I am ridiculous.

Hah! My online order was a distraction from what I really really should be doing, which is also to complete a report, ready to file by 2pm. But I told myself that it’s 95% ready to go so… 🙈

Working but I have nothing pressing to do. I work flexibly and for a large US company and when they all get online I know it'll be a busy afternoon/evening so am getting in some downtime while I can! Though I'm sure I'll be back here this afternoon when I have stuff to do too!

Thursdays is my 'day off' because our cleaner has come and although life is manic before she arrives at 7 am after she has gone 2 hours later I take the day to myself. I don't work Thursdays in my paid job either. So I am currently MNetting and watching the news but am about to make a pear and chocolate vanilla cake and to do some washing and ironing. Netlifx will feature at some point too.

Oh that sounds delish! 😋

I confess I cheat by using a packet Victoria sponge mix and add tinned pears and chocolate chips! You have to adapt with the cooking time though because of the extra additions but it goes down a treat with my very fussy DS and I justify it by saying it's one of his five as day!
