Need a reason to get out of bed.....

[DJKillaQueen]

Well my alarm went off at 7am this morning like it always does. No work to go to today (a perk of being freelance) but it's now 1am and I am still snuggled under the duvet thinking 'too exhausted from four days of little sleep and a lot of stress'.....

Tell me why I should toss aside the duvet and get out of bed today folks!

[dita-on-tees]

well you could go do 450 leg presses down the gym...

In a month it will be cold, dark and grim, so I would get some sunshine whilst you can

However I think, under the circumstances, a day of duvet, tv and carbohydrate (in quantity) is perfectly acceptable. If you need to feel some sort of achievement go out get the ingrediants for your favorite comfort food, cook and then eat in bed guilt free as you have been out.

[DJKillaQueen]

Hmmm I do feel a bit peckish.....no need to go out though....I have double choc muffins in the frdge and ice cream in the feezer......I will get out of bed to get that I think.........yum.........

[louisiana]

That'll be 1pm.

There is no actual need to get out of bed (sez another freelancer)... even to contact your usual sources of contracts to check on project timescales; though I do tend to favour the vertical position for this task.

However, I have popped down to the library to return a video (House of Mirth - anything but), have prepared the space where this afternoon's wood delivery is going, and I may even get around to potting up a few horseradish plants. A step too far may be getting around to finishing off some sanding...

You could get yourself a Slanket and move your centre of operations to the sofa...

[womanofdulwich]

it is going to rain heavily tonight- go and sort out the garden and get some vitamin d while you can-or go and buy something nice to eat in bed when you get home.

[DJKillaQueen]

I like the idea of taking a blanket and moving my centre of operations to the sofa.......

My garden is Peckham Rye Park and fortunately I have staff to sort that out :)) but I do have a chilli plant to pot for outside my front door so may do that......(after all has been sitting there to be repotted for a couple of weeks now lol).

[PeckhamRose]

I never discussed the work I want to discuss with you. Paid.

[dita-on-tees]

ooh PR is this for the forthcoming film Bend it like Peckham, a story about a collection of daring renegade football amateurs coached up to ladies football supremacy...... I know its been done before but continuous themes worked really well for James Bond and every Guy Ritchie film......

Never ever buy a Slanket, its admitting defeat.

[DJKillaQueen]

How dare anyone even mention work while I am holed up in bed ;-) that's never a good reason to get up....

[PeckhamRose]

But for money!

Mind you, I never get up for less than Equity minimum myself!

The Slanket

Gizmodo did a review of all Slanket-style sofa-lolling outfits, and the Slanket came out way ahead.

[Jah Lush]

I'm still in bed and staying here for the foreseeable future. I am feeling very much like Oblomov.

[DJKillaQueen]

Yay! I'm not the only one then......!

Any other sloths out there?

[louisiana]

But Oblomov had a valet. Do you have a valet? Or must you stagger about the place getting fresh supplies.

I confess I have been out of the door to chop a little kindling for the winter. Satisfying. But I'm safely tucked up indoors again.

[louisiana]

But now it's raining there's no further need to venture beyond the sofa.

I was totally disappointed with my Slanket.

The fleece is quite thin and it was COLD (6) plus although I'm only five foot four, it wasn't long enough to cover my feet properly when lounging on the sofa.

You can get slanket-type things which have little pockets for your feet, and next Winter it will be one of those for me :))

I'm to idle today to even go out for ciggies of which I have run out and am gasping for one.

The Slanket is almost 8 feet long (7.9)! How can that be too short?

Are you sure you didn't have a 'competitor product'? Some of them are trash e.g. the Snuggie (too short and very much an inferior product).

The Gizmodo comparative review: http://gizmodo.com/5190557/ultimate-battle-the-snuggie-vs-slanket-vs-freedom-blanket-vs-blankoat

Does the DJKQ boudoir have a TV? If not you need to get up and watch Diagnosis Murder.

Today someone gets the plague, so not to be missed.

[HonaloochieB]

Oh I just noticed the time, it's over now.

I'd stop where you are then.

[DJKillaQueen]

Oooh is that the one with Dick Van Dyke playing a doctor and his son playing a cop?..........

[HonaloochieB]

It is indeed and rocking good fun it is too, especially when they get all 'serious' and deal with 'big' subjects like terrorism and well, plague victims.

It was a genuine Slanket and quite expensive.

It is long when you are standing up, yes, but when slouching about on a sofa with it wrapped around you, and trying to keep your feet under it, believe me it does not seem long.

Hence, presumably, why some competitors' versions have pockets for the feet.

Have you actually tried one? If you have, you will find out what I mean.

What size pot is your plant in currently? If it's small and you don't pot it up soon - you won't get many chillies. Has the plant got any chillies on it yet? Has it any flowers?
