The summit of Mount To Do


I have an enormous amount of jobs to do today! A veritable mountain of them, and if this peak was the list, it only represents the summit... there's a lot of crap to be dealt with in the foothills too...

I've got emails to send, quite important ones too. I've got parcels to wrap up ie. returning a hat I bought for which my head is too big [no jokes!]. I've got to ring up my bank about some tedious stuff - it's good that they have security measures in place, but it makes for a time sink for us law abiding citizens, honestly! I've got a story I ought to be getting on with, due on the 21st. I've got a new book to get stuck into!!!! I'd love to write some more proposals and outlines. I've web stuff to do, invoices to send. Emails to chase up that probably never arrived because my stupid crapacious ISP [which I will be dumping after RWA, I think] never sent them or got them lost because their anti spam measures seem to allow spam through, whilst blocking bona fide mail...

And that's just a fraction of it... and I'm still sitting here, dawdling over my breakfast and not yet dressed... sigh...

Eek, a Mount to Do like that makes me want to stay in bed. Or hide it under the carpet and pretend it's not there - I'm quite good at that.

Hope you managed to scale yours :-)

99 items?? 99...*99*! Is that with stuff like "6 pairs of" counted indvidually? :))

Seriously though, I know how you feel, and yesterday it seemed like a barrage of conference info came from all directions after bookings closed.

Have managed to swipe off a few items, Anna... although at the same time adding a few more! Eek!

Nope, Saskia, me old mate... that's 99 *actual* list items, and some of those do say 'six pairs...' etc.

It's completely insane. And probably more to add to it as well. Although fortunately many of the things on the list are tiny and light. Or I would be in big trouble!!!!
