PeckhamRose Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Getting around to joining Southwark Circle as a Member (I'm a Helper and go round other people's houses to help do what THEY have been putting off!). (Over fifties only!) So I can get someone else round and do my things for a lot cheaper. Like cleaning my motorcycle....

siousxiesue Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Bathroom-bath has only 1 tap in working order so can only shower, not bathe. Been like it for years...Kitchen-area behind sink area is rotting away, waste disposal has never worked, 2 spaces where ceramic floor tiles were laid never been filled with anything, ever. Hole above dining table where I removed the hanging light I didn't like, relatively recent but very visible! Still need to fill out forms to get my mortgage protection payout..Still gotta update CV...

Hooray!> Stitching coming undone on seam in sofa! Boo!I think citizen has hit on the raison d'etre for putting anything off. Don't know whether it's some mutation of Sod's law or a realisation of the myth of the Hydra but it does seem that as soon as you fix one thing, or attend to one thing you have been neglecting, another bigger task takes its place. We acknowledge this - allbeit on a subconscious level - and seek to break this cycle of misery by refusing to be drawn into the trap of doing the thing at all and yet - lest fate punish us for a downright refusal - keep alive the promise that we WILL do 'the thing' at a later date and so are able to bathe in the glow of the righteous and go to the pub with a clear conscience.
