I have soooo many frogs, froglets & tadpoles if anyone needs some.
I did do a quick list last week, unfortunately my A4 hardback book got put in a safe place, one day I'll find it again & post what's on my list.

A frog is something you keep on putting off or a job you hate doing!

lollyfin. Know exactly what you mean. I have to keep my frogs and toots lists on a spreadsheet or I'd never find them.

I think that we need to laugh at ourselves, I know I certainly laugh at myself. I really am useless.
My bits of paper did me no good at all, so splashed out on an a4 harbcak book at great expense, (pence in wilkinsons) thinking, I can't lose that, well I have.

Why are they called frogs? Is it an acronym or similar?

Well, I didn't think this was the thread for me, but got in from delivering to my designer chap just now, came in the house, summoned ds and we took 20 minutes to just weed and sweep the path and hack a couple of things back in the front garden. it's been looking at me every time I've entered the house for the last 6 weeks or so.

This is so good - I'm such a terrible procrastinator and it's definitely not helping me feel good about myself and my day. I'm going to start a list of frogs.

Yesterday i got on with some of my winter frogs and today i am cleaning the bathroom tiles!
I hate that job the whole bathroom except the floor is tiled and it does look lovely when they are all clean and sparkly but just now they look yuck
I am also thinking about getting on with painting our living room skirting boards that i took off in Feb Embarassed but havent got round to doing yet, that job depends on the weather tho as i need to do it in the conservatory with the door open. I hate the smell of gloss
if i get these two jobs done today that will be a big dent in my frog list

This is something I have to do. Our bathroom is totally tiled other than the floor too. I don't mind glossing really it's just the sanding and stuff I'm not over fond of. I'm very impatient!

I LOVE cleaning my oven. no, seriously! it's one of my fave things to do in the kitchen besides cooking. I vowed when we bought this cooker that i'd keep it in the manner to which i would like our other ovens to have been kept, but as we were often the last of a long line to get them, I never got the chance for them to sparkle as much as I wanted them to.
so I do a thorough oven clean about once a month. along with de-moulding the windows.
