Oh dear didn't get as much done as I wanted - definite lack of motivation today- blinkin' freezing here which didn't help!

aww bless you bronze

am a bit about that thread. I tell you the help I got from the early days of this thread (I'm not a flyer lol), and the encouragement and boosts it gives me seeing other people getting motivation and encouragement with it makes me thinks "FARK OFF" to the OP

actually think I really HAVE to join you all again, I am moving in the next few weeks, plus I've just started mmy next OU course, plus I have to get the Easter stuff soted for church - yikes -not enough hours in the day.

Toccata- I tried flying but always go back to my lists which I write the night before while feeding the baby. I find I have to make sure all the little stuff is done with 4 kids a dog and the house up for sale with the agent able to ring at any time I need to keep right on top of it and I'm not that sort naturally
Write yourself a list!

Welcome bronze!

Come back Toccata!

oh PISS off Chablis.

Is she pretending to be Cod?

don't think it's Cod - don't think Cod would have stooped this low.

She had a few digs at me when I first started the thread (on a MUCH smaller scale) - but nothing like this.

I remember Cod starting the daily Fly thread to take the mickey. That was sooo 2008 though!

Can I join please?

I struggle with procrastination constantly and need shaming a kick often. I plan to start using a new diary to make lists each week and to try to keep to them.

Welcome LilRedWG

We are all lovely here and very supportive. However, if you complete more than 3 lists a week we kick you off

chablis
has started a thread about how weird and ridiclulous that we put 'get dressed' as a point on our lists

she has a upset alot of people on it and then came over onto to do it aswell

arsehole

Thanks Alice.

I think the next list should be called "listmakers, slatterns and procrastinators UNITED"

I think there might be a few more newcomers after that thread.

I would just like to say thank you for all those who have what some might think as silly little things on their lists because they remind me to do stuff.

It is really important that I do stuff like 'take vitamins' or 'have lunch' as will help stave off PND and keep bf DD if I am healthy. DD and DS distract me so much it is difficult to get everything done and look after myself at the same time.
