Hints and Tips of Things To Do On A Dreary Day

in The potting shed
A while ago we had a thread where urine was taken out of spammers and it ended up being hilarious. 
Anyone up for a similar one but this time on things to do to stop insanity creeping in when the weather is dire?
Well, navel gazing is one but it has limits because the topic isn't very deep.
Will someone start us off please?

    I get great satisfaction out of making lists! Feel very virtuous while I’m doing them, almost feels like I am achieving something constructive.
    Not so good when I find the lists days, weeks or years later, and realise how few items could actually have been crossed off. Still, provides an opportunity to consolidate everything into a new list!

    Got to ask pansyface, why does your loo have an almost non functioning flush? (There has to be a pun there somewhere)

    So you file them away just in case do you Ergates?

    The most important thing to put on any to do list is at least one item (and preferably a few) that you've already done, so you can cross them off immediately.
    1. make list of things to do
    2. review to do list and update any actions completed
    3. eat breakfast
    4. load the dishwasher/wash up breakfast dishes

    OH will be going in there after he’s gone to see if it needs “extra work”. 🧐

    Too much information @pansyface :D
    I have one of those dual flush loos, and frankly - they're hopeless.

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who does that  ;)

    I'm currently avoiding hoovering, but uploading CDs to the 'pooter to put on the och aye pod, and hoping it might clear up.
    Forecast says so...and they're always right, aren't they?

    I've got umpteen years worth of Gardeners World.  I'm going through them to cut out the bits I want and sticking the rest in the recycling.  I doubt there will be more than about 10 pages from any issue I actually want.

    We're headed on a road trip next week, so I'll almost certainly be making lists, to be compiled into a list of lists, of things to be done before then.

    I'm now looking at photos and re jigging some, because of another thread where we were debating adjusting them. I could be there some time....
    I'm a little bit young for them @pansyface, but I've heard/seen plenty of their songs and performances and they're always funny.  :)
    Nice one @BenCotto :D

    Oh my life, you lot don't disappoint. I'm just pleased that I'd eaten the puff pastry wotsit when I caught up with the thread. The bathroom was sprayed with salty water when I thought about pansyface's first post on here when I was gargling cos I've got a sore throat.

    Anyway, number 5 on raisingirl's list:-
    Always park in the same or nearby spot in a supermarket car park because if you don't you could spend yonks wandering around in a demented fashion looking for your car in the pouring rain and come to the conclusion that it's been stolen. It might also save phoning the police and reporting that some swine has nicked it.
