15 lies you tell yourself every day
1. “I’m getting up now once I count backwards from 20.”
“20… 19… 18… okay, I’m going to just start again. I messed that up. 20… 19…18… ”
2. “I’ll get up once they finish saying what’s in today’s papers on Morning Ireland.”
Cue you running around the house at 7.42am with approximately 12 minutes to get ready.
3. “Ah yeah, my hair is grand. No need to wash it today.”
LOL.
4. “There won’t be much traffic. I have plenty of time.”

5. “I have enough petrol to last me another day. I can definitely hold off on getting it.”

6.”I’m going to be really good and only have one cup of coffee today.”
Mmm-hmm.
7. “Actually, I’ve read that having three cups of coffee in the space of two hours is actually healthy and prolongs your life expectancy, so…”

8. “I’m just going to take one… last… look at Twitter and Facebook now and then that’s me done for the day.”

*types “twitter” into the search bar and before you know where you are, you’re back on Twitter*
9. “I’m going to go for a run after work, so I can get this baby can of Pringles for my lunch.”
*stuffs face*
10. “Ugh, the clouds look a bit grey, so there’s actually no point in going for a run unless I want to get drenched and catch pneumonia.”
You’re just looking out for your health, really.
11. “Sure, I might be eating a frozen pizza for dinner this evening, but I’m going to eat something really healthy tomorrow.”
“TOMORROW, TOMORROW, I LOVE YA, TOMORROW”
12. “Oh, I might watch that important-looking documentary I taped a few weeks ago.”
13. ”Actually, no, I better watch First Dates otherwise it will be everywhere tomorrow and I’ll have nothing to discuss with my colleagues.”
Sure, whatever helps you sleep at night.
14. “I’m going to go to bed at 10pm tonight and I’m not going to watch Netflix or get sucked into Vincent Browne or anything…”
15. “No, but seriously, I’m going to change my whole lifestyle tomorrow. I’m going to get up early, eat avocados and read all those books I’ve been meaning to read for the last six years.”
But first, I’m just going to watch one more episode of The Mindy Project. It’s okay to go to bed at 12.30am, isn’t it?
