    Guilty of just about everything aboveimage.  Ouch Pansy - I've done that too.  "I'll do it later" features large in my vocabulary.

    I never throw out old boots (or anything else for that matter) till they fall apart - and sometimes not even then.  But that's more to do with parsimony than slovenliness image

    Guilty to all the above, but I also clean under the mower.

    Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.

    Nobody to leave jobs to here, so if I don't do it, it doesn't get done image

    I wash pots if they're really manky, but only when I need one. I don't have some immaculate stack of them. 

    I wipe things like secateurs, and give them a quick spray of oil, but not other tools. I should sharpen them though image

    I'll do it later features quite heavily here too Lesley. Trouble is, later doesn't happen image 

    Although I like a good tidy up of the messy shed corner when it gets too messy, and I put things off only because I've usually done something else more urgent. That's my story and I'm sticking to it..

     

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Pansy, why are your steps made of tweed?  

    In London. Keen but lazy.

    Procrasitination: never put off until tomorrow something you can get by without doing till the day after.

    I will put procrastination on my to-do list . As the list is in alphabetical order, it will come after displacement activity. Secateurs v fork - no contest!

    I don't change the soil in my pots.

    I use out of date seeds.

    I don't clean my water butts out.

    I eat fresh custard out of the tub when no one is looking.

    not only do I use out of date seeds , I eat out of date food. Record is yoghurt 60 , yes sixty days , past its best before date.
