Katrina over at Callapidder Days has been thinking about the things she puts off. Fortunately she didn't put off updating her lovely blog!
So - what do I put off? And why?
Dentist - I have a dentist phobia. Basically, when I was a kid, a butcher of a dentist did a whole lot of work on my mouth without any anaesthetic. I refused to go back (and was taken, quite literally, kicking and screaming). But, once I was too big to be dragged, I stopped going and my mouth ended up in a horrible state. Years on, I did go to the 'Nervous Patients' clinic at Glasgow's Dental Hospital and I am now able to go without crying. But woe betide the dentist who hurts me - I have sharp teeth and your hands are in my mouth ... (Just kidding.) I've been putting off going for my checkup for about a year because I know I need a filling replaced and just don't wanna. But I have a note in my diary to phone this week and I honestly will try and do it.
Doctor - I don't have any real reason for not visiting the Dr. I've just been too busy and haven't wanted to make time as I'm slightly uncomfortable rather than at death's door. My mother assures me that, if I don't take action now, I'll end up in a state so that's another To-Do in the diary.
Paperwork - I have stacks and piles and bundles. And I'm an expert procrastinator. That can be next week's job!
Washing the car - I bought my car about two years ago and have never washed it. My sister's bf pressure hosed it a few months ago. And the car lives outside so the rain cleans it. Or, at least, that's what I tell myself ...
I am, yours, The Procrastinator.

Yikes! That is horrible what happened to you at the dentist. I have a phobia with doctors and I'm not entirely sure why. I just have this horrible phobia and I wish I didn't.
Don't feel bad about not washing your car cause I don't think I've ever washed mine either. It has gotten washed a few times because when the people come to wash the trucks at work they wash my vehicle as well although I haven't seen them in a while so my car hasn't been washed in a while.
Oh, I am right with you on the paperwork. My pile of stuff to be either filed or dealt with is so high that it's threatening to fall all over the floor. Yet I keep ignoring it!
Thanks for stopping by, Katrina :)
