218 (?). Reading or writing some poetry. Or lyrics if you're musical. 

Isn't it funny, the things that we say,

219. Build a flat pack piece of furniture

@Bee there is something so satisfying about successfully building flatpack furniture!! Although in my experience I often end up a little frustrated if it doesn't work out 

One of my favourite coping strategies/distractions is to get up and make a 'mug' cookie in my microwave - for anyone interested this is one of my favourite recipes! http://www.number-2-pencil.com/2012/03/06/chocolate-chip-cookie-in-cup/

@rose13 (I don't think I've met you before - Herrrro *waves*)
Yes that is true! I find I almost always think I don't need the instructions so I start and go about it the hard way, then realise there is an easier way which the instructions says LOL


OOOOOOOH that looks super YUMMM!!!

I'm getting some stuff delivered from IKEA this week before my parents come to visit next weekend - wish me luck with making it!
