Take 10 top excuses that work for almost everything
1 I’m painting my room on the 23rd so I can’t drive you to the airport. Sorry, did you say you’re leaving on the 24th? Hmmm, I’m observing the ‘Don’t Go Out Day’ on the 24th, it’s an ancient tribal tradition I’m reviving. 2I
haven’t finished thinking of what to tweet today so I can’t do any chores. My followers will be disappointed! 3My
horoscope says I can’t leave the house as I’ll be bitten by a baby. Sorry I can’t come to work – it’s too risky! 4The
thought of cooking gives me a panic attack so it would be great if you could make my dinner. 5It’s
very difficult for me to stick to a diet unless you want to give me the ‘all you can eat as long as it’s French fries diet.’ After all, French women don’t put on weight. Well, at least that’s what that book said. 6Can
you answer the doorbell please? I haven’t finished tagging myself in the Facebook pictures from yesterday’s party. 7So
sorry I couldn’t attend the seminar, I couldn’t find my house keys and then when I finally did, I couldn’t find the car keys. What a nightmare! 8I
have a rare case of 24-hour selective blindness. I can browse the internet but I can’t see anything outside, so I can’t help with the gardening. 9Take
out the rubbish? I can’t possibly do that until I get my roots done. Someone might see me. 10I
think I set my New Year’s resolutions too high at the beginning of the year so I’m thinking of postponing them to 2014.
