Thanks WME - could do with one actually

need inspiration to get work done rather than MN/waste time as no-one here to make me feel guilty

Flamesparrow · 20/04/2009 10:31

Oh that's ok then

JustKeepSwimming · 20/04/2009 10:52

Oh yes, 2 totally separate things!!!

MN - valuable research into child behaviour & development as wella s the kick up the bum for housework, organised life, etc. and a weightloss support group too, amazing really.

Wasting time - reading the news, washing up some (yukky) tea cups left from last week, sorting out rubbish from recycling, and so on.

Comewhinewithme · 20/04/2009 11:09

MN is a lifesaver lots of important research goes on here .
