    Getting through a Chore

    Question of the day, how do you get through doing a dull mundane chore?



    Sometimes when I'm folding laundry, I pretend that I've just won the lottery and I'm packing all the clothes up to take to Oxfam

    Depends what the chore is.

    If it reading one of your posts, it helps If I envisage you as being a hot model in a tight mini-skirt and even tighter blouse with a pair of spectacles delicately balanced on the tip of your nose.

      Try humming a particularly stirring tune. Onward Christian Soldiers is my usual, but lately I've taken a shine to No Motherland Without You, which is kind of Kim Jong Il's theme tune in the DPRK. Get it here: http://songun-blog.blogspot.com/2005...ar-leader.html

              You would win the lottery and then spend time thinking about Oxfam? What a saint SA! When I imagine winning the lottery I go through the list of all the people I would have killed.

                  OK, I am going to pretend someone will come in tomorrow while I'm at work and fold all the laundry for me.

                  Oh wait, may be he/sh will clean my oven too
