would you like my list as well? its got as much chance of getting done by you as me.

CailinDana · 13/12/2011 11:24

Join the club. I'm so inert they're thinking of classifying me on the periodic table of elements as a curious new blob of nothingness.

CarolCervix · 13/12/2011 11:31

Urgh I wrote my Master List this morning. Its scaring me. The idea was to race through my work this morning so I could start on the Master List this afternoon. I'm behind.

I'd burn The Master List but its on my phone Sad

I need tomatoes. I cannot be bothered to write down that we need tomatoes. So when we go out later I will forget and swear that we have no tomatoes when I need them tomorrow morning. I can, however, be bothered to faff about on here doing bugger all and think about reminding myself to buy tomatoes.

Hmm
CailinDana · 13/12/2011 11:35

We're out of peanut butter too. Only DH eats it though so I'm not even motivated by greed which is a Very Bad Thing. I need to order my turkey. We may end up eating cheese on toast for Christmas dinner. Thing is, I just Don't Care.

twolittlemonkeys · 13/12/2011 11:36

Me too. I go through tiny bursts of being energetic but only for long enough to get stuff out, make a mess, but not finish the job or tidy up. I've made the teachers' presents for Friday but today have done nothing but MN.

whenPaschagotstuckupthechimney · 13/12/2011 11:36

and now I need a wee but all I am doing is jiggling a bit and typing crap.

TheTinselsTheWrongColour · 13/12/2011 11:39

soooooo glad I am not alone in this matter

so in answer to your question no you ANBU but we probably should get arses into gear and at least move away from the laptop well at least I should as the house looks like a tornado has been through,have very little shopping in and should eally provide at the very least a few items of clean clothes

nope no wait that's it I just can't be arsed :o

CarolCervix · 13/12/2011 12:12

i went to the shop but have lorst my list. which not only has things like peanut butter and cat itter on it but also what pressies i need to get. so whoever finds it will know what i'm getting them.

so in the shop i did get peanutbutter, i remembered the crackers, i bought wine. but forgot the salad and cat litter.

arse.

i am having a very weird and painful period and i ache all over my body. and now i'm thinking maybe D2 was ill and off colour not skiving yesterday and maybe now i've got it.

You went to the shop?? That's not allowed!! I would organise for you to be barred from the Inert Club if I could be both

CarolCervix · 13/12/2011 12:21

whenPaschagotstuckupthechimney · 13/12/2011 12:24

I had toast. And a wee. It was a struggle to get that far to be honest. I only have 5 minutes now to make a packed lunch for my son before he wakes.

GoingForGoalWeight · 13/12/2011 12:24

Same here Carol :( Just sitting here on MN. My posts are annoying me and getting crappier but anything than clean weeks of built up mess in this dosshole, house :( ffs.

I need a hard and swift kick not sitting here eating mincce pies and Xmas Biscuit

CarolCervix · 13/12/2011 12:27

maybe we could accept that today is a day for slobbing in a blobby heap and doing sod all.

if we allow ourselves a day off to do nothing at all, then tomorrow (which is another day) the list gets done.

although i have to work tomorrow, but could do stuff in the morning. if all my pelvic organs haven't fallen out of the nearest hole by then.

Me too. Self employed and have lurked off out of scheduled job today, thought I'd use the time to take the dog for a walk instead, and I haven't even done that. Am crap. Keep seeing hail outside then it's sunny again.
Off to raid pantry.....

bejeezus · 13/12/2011 12:30

Aaaahhhhh...Can i come in?

Im at work and still cant be arsed. I would sack me if I were my boss

I definitely cant be arsed with the rubbish dump what is my home; my children and animals should probably be taken away from me

Think I should be a Project Manager; I know what needs doing and the best way to do it- just cant be arsed to do it myself

GoingForGoalWeight · 13/12/2011 12:30

I had one of those days Carol in June of this year, have hardly moved or done any housework since. It's a slippery slope .. :(

You've all been warned.

whenPaschagotstuckupthechimney · 13/12/2011 12:31

OK packed lunch made. Bag packed. Boy still asleep.

CarolCervix · 13/12/2011 12:31

I hereby declare today to be A Day Off.

Tomorrow we will do stuff.

CailinDana · 13/12/2011 12:33

Oh you are bad, Carol. I shall blame the cheese on toast on you.

whenPaschagotstuckupthechimney · 13/12/2011 12:33

NOOO THE BASTARD CAT HAS JUST CRAPPED ON THE FLOOR! ITS LIQUID! VILE GOOD-FOR-NOTHING GINGER!
