My fitbit broke and now I don’t know how far I’m walking.
I’m barely halfway through packing for a move in two days.
I haven’t redrafted that short film.
I’m yet to finish the stat dec for my visa application.
I never replied to your email.
I failed to write the third act of that play.
I didn’t follow up on that doctor’s appointment.
I refuse to fix my wonky glasses.
I haven’t picked up the used cotton wool pad from the floor yet.
I can’t clean the burnt egg off the pan.
I threw out the spare button by accident.
I didn’t get the bins in when I said I would. I don’t remember how to drive.
I wasn’t firm enough with the internet so we have to wait 7-14 business days to get connected.
I left the laundry too long and now it smells like damp.
I can’t remember the last time I made the bed.
Sometimes I forget to lock the front door when I leave.
Sometimes I go to sleep with the heater on.
I didn’t go to that party I was invited to.
I never bought tickets for that thing everyone said I should see.
I forgot to reply to your text message.
My fitbit broke and now I don’t know how far I’m walking.
