6 minutes

Right now we are waiting for the microwave to cook the Lean Cuisine Lasagne. It takes 6 minutes. 6 minutes doesnt seem like such a long time until you are sitting there doing absolutely nothing. Here are some other things that we could have done during the 6 minutes instead of complaining about how long 6 minutes is...

• Checked e-mail
• Cleaned bathroom
• Watched the weather on the news
• Watched the funny film clip where the guy plays the piano in an oh-so-interesting way
• Had a QF with a rabbit-style partner
• Had 12 shooters (at the moment these would most likely be Squashed Rats)
• Put on dress ups from the dress up box and taken photos
• Sort M&Ms into colours
• Cleaned out the fish bowl (although no fish in it so no point)
• Written a letter to Ockerby to ask if we can park in their car park seeing as they dont like us parking on OUR path (council schmouncil)
• Burnt a compilation CD
• Popped bubble wrap (with the remaining 15 metres we have left)
• Written a blog entry about things than can be done in 6 minutes
• Marked 24 spelling tests
• Do a uni reading
• Put the fans in the shed because it is not summer any more and we don't need them

We are sure there are many, many other things that can be done in 6 minutes. We are looking for creative suggestions....
