IN LIFE, MOST of us know what we should be doing.

We should be eating healthily. We should be exercising. We should get out of bed on time.

Sometimes we do these things, other times we don’t. Other times we make excuses.

Excuses like these.

2. One piece of the washing isn’t quite dry so you can’t put the load away yet

3. You can’t get up unless it’s a multiple of five on your alarm clock…that’s just science

4. It would be rude of you not to eat the cake that someone has brought to the office

6. You’re totally going to eat those leftovers. They’re not going to get thrown away or anything

7. If you get in the shower now you won’t have time to get ready so you should just stay in bed a bit longer
