This morning I need to make soup, make bread, clean the downstairs of the house,then walk the dog we are temporarily looking after.

This afternoon I need to be suited and booted for a work meeting, home to change, finish off bread and probably cleaning then another dog walk and supper prep.

So why am I sitting her wasting time on SM and drinking tea?

Filling my dad's Blue Badge form in.

Even though he has had one for many years with Parkinson, angina, c.o.p.d , enlarged heart ,a list as long as your arm

You still have to treat it as a "New Claim"

It must be different in England, bikergran.
After years of having to provide evidence, my renewal took minutes. I was taken straight to the payment page and received the new one in less than the stated four weeks.

Good luck!

I did a renewal for someone last year. It was very simple - and quick. The original one was long though.

I think different areas do things differently.

Getting off GN/MN/email, and going upstairs to shower and get dressed!

Mind you I’ve done one useful thing - dug out my recipe for Delia’s mincemeat, and made a list of what I need to buy - plus checked the jar store - plenty there.

Dusting the downstairs rooms (where does it come from?)

You've done more than me Witzend but I do keep planning what I might do in a minute.

Please don’t waft it in my direction 😂

Thought I was doing quite well until I realised the kitchen clock had stopped and it is 11am not 9am 🙄

We procrastinated, until today, now yard toys away until next summer.

I went for few days holiday last week and had a marvellous time with my SiL, my ex's sister as a throwaway. We get on very well, she enjoyed herself doing touristy things with me that she doesn't usually do. The weather was amazing. Now I'm home my case is unpacked, of course, and the washing's mainly done. I really should start on half a dozen things but it's damp out and I'm putting it off. My name is also, again, Mrs Procrastination 😂.
