Do you usually respond better to a good kick up the backside or a nice wee word in the shell-like?

[rob16d]

Thanks Highland ALddie...very upfront!

Rheghead.......I usually respond better to structured pros and cons and persuation than

a little bit of music always helps me if i have anything to do and cant be bothered oh and the thought of the other half arriving home for work and it ain done.

[rob16d]

What music would get everyone in painting mood?

[Rheghead]

"Mona Lisa" by Nat King Cole?
"Matchstick men" by Chaz and Dave?

The Corries (Flower of Scotland)

your spending far to much time on the org Rob! you need to get motivated I know this place is addictive but come on up off your bottom & get some work done! then come back on here when youve done & let us all know what youve achieved!! good luck.
p.s id come & help but im attached to the laptop!hehe

Get a friend(s) in who knows you well and will help you sort out your belongings; one pile of necessary things and sentimental things to keep, another to put to a charity shop and yet another to put in the bin. Have a final look at it all and just do it!

Depending on how much decorating you have to do, you could have a stripping (wallpaper) party with food and tea provided to keep them going. Amazing how quickly you get things done if you are in good company..good luck..

Ermmmmm... this is hard lol

Shall we ask admin to disable his access to the forums until he can prove he has done his decorating....

Definitely decorate to music! Have you chosen/bought the paint yet, rob?

This kind of job makes me feel so tired at the very thought -what I usually do is divide it up into smaller, more manageable, tasks and award myself a nice TREAT when I finish each part.

Or there's another way where you just allow yourself a limited amount of time that's LESS than you think you'll need, work VERY fast and get it finished that way.

Method 1 probably needs more laid back music -method 2 something much faster!

Put on your favourite cd,pick a room that needs to be done and set a target.
Maybe a few hours,maybe a whole room.If you set a goal for yourself and a wee treat at the end it'll all seem worthwhile honest.

Get some sensible friends round and have a decorating party, no drinks just fun. It's always easier to do it when you are competing to do the most!!

[ciderally]
