We received an SMS from a listener, Rod, asking Algoa FM to open the lines to find out what people put off:
This is what we got in… it was rather fun

I got divorced 6 yrs ago I then rented a townhouse and had a box that I never unpacked 2 yrs ago I bought a house and my son told me to get rid of the box because if I didnt need anything in the box in 3 yrs I can get rid of it Needless to say THE box is still with me 2 yrs later Now and again I tackle it and loose interest because of so many other things to do This is my lucky packet box I find things that I have forgotten so long ago So now I am unpacking it bit by bit.

Calls from:
Karen – she says she keeps putting off getting rid of the baby clothes. Her kids are 2 and 5, and they have no plans to have anymore - She is just not ready and has been putting it off.
Gillian – Says she is more scared to go to the dentist then she was to have her kids. Can totally relate to that, as could Debra who called – saying she felt the same!
Berenice says she can think of a long list of things her husband keep putting off
Howard says, putting off buying a coffin… he says life is too good!
Berenice told me she has tried for 7 years to lose weight and become more healthier, but she just keeps putting it off.
