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........

Oooh good. more replies - I thought the thread was going to die and I'd be talking to myself (and Jilted) for the next few weeks 
Namechangecity - yes, it does seem somewhat ironic. I suspect we are all procrastinating about getting round to writing a post - you know how it goes:
^"Oh, I really must update the procrastination thread......ooooh that's an interesting thread title in AIBU, I'll just read that first......"
Well, yesterday wasn't too bad - folded and sorted a huge pile of clean washing and got a load of book work done. This morning I have had a tidy around the kids play room and been for a job interview (which I almost definitely won't get, but it was still terrifying - I haven't had an interview for 4 years (and then it was in the bag as I was the only candidate and unofficially doing the job anyway). They should let me know this afternoon.
I'm just having 20 minutes down time and quick coffee before I go and pick the DD's up from my friends house and I have agreed to look after her little girl this afternoon so she can get some jobs done.
The tonight, there will be more book work (BORING!!!!!!!!)
twinkle and piprabbit - of course it's not too late to join - all new comers welcome.
Can I join? Not only is my house too small and filled with clutter I should be revising for an exam.
first though.
dilly hope you get the job, interviews are scary aren't they. My decks are still up unsurprisingly, will do it tomorrow though, I promise 
Right, better crack on or maybe have a cuppa first
I didn't get the job 
but that's OK, because I knew I wouldn't - there was a heir apparent and as predicted he has got the job - and he is a good bloke who will be ok to work for. I was really just using the interview for experience and knew that I wasn't experienced enough to actually do the job. Plus it would have been a lot more hours and whole lot more stress.
I will however, ensure that I tap into my new bosses knowledge and experience so that next time this sort of opportunity arises, I am ready for it 
Twelfth night is the sixth of January - so Sunday. Any decorations still up after midnight on Sunday will need to be left up all year to avoid bad luck (if you believe in that sort of thing).
I remember one year my MIL accidentally left a santa hat hanging on the shelf in her hallway and didn't realise until we pointed it out to her on the 8th of January. We told her that it would be bad luck if she took it down now as she had missed twelfth night and she had to leave it up until the following christmas. Which she did. It was certainly a talking point that year for any visitors - it was quite prominent - god knows how she missed it!
