I procrastinate.......about everything (see, I'm doing it now - DH is out with the DD's and I could be in the shower, putting the washing mountain away or filing the paperwork, but I'm not, I'm on here starting this thread).
My house is full of junk, nothing has a place, I have a to do list a mile long and nothing ever gets done until the last minute because I am so disorganised, often meaning that I lose opportunities, money etc.
A lot has happened this year - I went back to work after maternity, my job has changed due to my boss retiring and now has more responsibility, my eldest has started school and in a moment of madness I have managed to volunteer to get the school PTFA set up properly and charity registered and myself elected as secretary.
Things HAVE to change and soon otherwise the precariously balanced house of cards that is my life will collapse with disastrous consequences for mine and my families lives.
So, I know that new years resolutions usually don't last much past 5th January, and getting myself organised is a resolution I have made many a year past and failed to keep, but this time I am determined.
I am hoping that by getting things down here, you lovely lot can help to keep me on track and maybe if others are as bad at being organised and procrastinating as I am we can help each other.
So come on .....if you mumsnet when you should be folding the washing, are depressed at the mountain of paperwork you need to get filed, want a lovely organised home and to feel on top of things or just feel generally disorganised and want to do something about it etc etc..... sign in here and let's get 2013 off to a positive, organised and energetic start........

Bleugh :(
Todays jobs...
Put duvet cover on bed (didnt get round to that)
Steam clean dirty patches on upstairs carpet (split coffee, paint in DSs room, and my sick from last night 
not hungover, just randomly sick)
Put clothes away
Hang up washing in machine
Maybe put on next load. Might decide I'm too superstitious 
at piglet. Hope your head isn't too poorly Imperial and Beyond I think you are doing really well!
Me, I've just got up, have put a load of washing on and am trying to work up the motivation to give the DC their breakfast. So far this morning they have been surviving on a tub of haribo and left over selection boxes
Haha, Jingle, so am I but the day is yet young!
Have just had shower and washed my hair, dd is making good progress on her room and I'm going to load the washing machine as soon as I am dry!
Then I'm going to recycle the cards and put aside the ones with address changes to update my spreadsheet later. (Yes! I have a spreadsheet, the sole product of last year's attempt to get organised! ). After that, I'm going to do the coffee table and sitting room before finally moving on to the kitchen. DD has a friend coming at 2pm so I'd like to be done by then if possible so that I can MN in peace so that I can tackle a few more jobs while they play.
I've done quite well so far! Here's my list:
Clear coffee table
Tidy sitting room (well, as much as I can do - some of it is DH's junk)
Recycle Christmas cards and update any address changes
Clean kitchen sink & hob
Wipe kitchen surfaces
Wash bathroom mats
Get dd to tidy her room
Feeling quite smug! and inspired to tackle another project this afternoon 
What is on everyone's list today?
I am, as usual procrastinating instead of doing what I am supposed to be doing which is paperwork for DH (bank reconciling is SOOOO boring). I have taken the DD's to my mom's this morning, so that I could specifically do the paperwork. I got back at 11am and have put a load of washing out to dry, a load in the dryer and a new load in the machine.
I then sat down for 10 minutes to have a quick MN and coffee and am still here an hour later 
. I really must be getting on.......
On the brightside, I have over the last couple of days, completely tidied, dusted and hoovered all three bedrooms and am managing to keep them tidy (so far), took down and the deccies (and put them in the loft), ploughed through the majority of the washing pile and sorted the gazillion bags of crap that were littering the hallway.
Right...onwards and upwards - reconciling here I come and if you see me on here before this evening, send me packing
Dilly you seem to have got a lot done really.
On my list for today was to stay of MN and not kill the DC. Well at least I've managed one but only just
Well it's 10am and I'm on Mn with nothing achieved. Think there may be a theme
