Productivity - less than zero

OK, maybe that's being a little harsh with myself, I have been mildly productive today. I rang the DDO, well done me, only needed a little quiet persuasion and coercion from a few friends culminating in a helpful text that said only 'nag'.

As I walked back downstairs I saw dust, caused by the recent creation of an understairs toilet, on the conti-blob (a bookcase built out of conti-board by my father and encouragingly named, as is custom in our family...!!!) and I thought to myself, 'I shall be helpful and productive today and do some cleaning'. First I decided to have my lunch and complete the jigsaw my mother and I have been working on this week. 4 hours and 7 episodes of The Vicar Of Dibley later the house is as dusty as it was before, but the jigsaw is complete!

Tragically, I had only the background to finish, probably between 50 and 100 pieces of the 1000 in the jigsaw and it was incredibly difficult! I kept having to take them out and start again. I took a photo of the finished article but blogger isn't being kind to me this evening. And I'm missing Anthea Turner on the telly... maybe I'll learn how to avoid procrastination of cleaning by jigsaw tonight?
