Okay, so I've filled out my tax forms, paid for my car tax, written the letters I'd promised to do for my mother, planted all the seeds
In fact I've done *everything* I should have done weeks ago.

Now I have no choice...I have to actually write something.

I. Have. To. Work.

The real stuff...the creative stuff that keeps me in a paying job...the creative stuff that I adore....the creative stuff that I avoid whenever possible.

Shit.


So what have you been putting off and now have to do?

tidying my bedroom.
And tidying my bedroom is a displacement activity so I don't have to send work emails.

That's something I haven't done
but it's too hot up there so I'll just laze around the garden occasionally typing up old stuff from notebooks instead.

Yes.
Currently four but I used to have about a dozen of them and a couple of geese too.

Awesome.
I'd love to keep a couple for fresh eggies but they aren't really an urban pet. I also suspect my landlord would disapprove..

Washing up...
I Only do the Washing up when I have to.

1: when I run out of spoons
2: If anyone is rash enough to visit me.
3: No other reason.

I really need to do it tonight when I get home, but it will be too hot and humid, and any other reason I can think of, like watching the Mentalist.

My Kitchen is a bit smelly at the moment.

I need a poo.
There was a man on the train last night who needed a poo. He did it. On the train. In his trousers.

I love LU.

I'm really sorry about PJM
I did tell him to wait until we got home...

I *thought* I recognised him.
Has he been at the Satsumas again?

The best word in the English language? Possibly. As long as it isn't followed up by a sad-sounding "oh... no."

Did someone really Gordon their trousers on the tube?

(Bicycle Repairman "you're also a bit of a wanker", Thu 2 Jul 2009, 14:30, Reply)

Very much so.
That tale was 100% true. On the Central Line, between Mile End and Stratford, if you must know. He was stood next to me as he did it - at first I was confused when the aroma of poo swirled in to my nose. Then I wondered briefly if I'd trodden in something. And then, as the man got off the train, there was a huge wet brown mark spreading with grotesque speed down the left leg of his chinos. It was truly, truly horrible.

I've been putting off getting rid of my belly but now I really have to get shut.
But my Friday wine and pizza nights are sooooooo nice.

You can still have those
Just eat lots of Quorn and mushy peas during the week.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Thu 2 Jul 2009, 14:33, Reply)

You can still lose weight
or at the very least, not get a bigger belly by having one decadent night a week, so long as you're good the rest of the time. Veg, steamed stuff, portion sizes etc etc.

Decadent nights I'm fine at...being good the rest of the time? Not so much.

I do this already but it doesn't work. : (
I'm doomed to have a jelly belly.
