A study has found the top 20 things that Brits tend to put off until they absolutely have to.

In news which will hardly be a surprise, research has shown that one in five British people has admitted they put off dealing with their problems until it's too late.

Come on people, hands up who else can TOTALLY relate to this.

Yep, instead of actually doing something about a problem, it turns out that 44% of people stick their head in the sand until it's almost too late to resolve.

The research, undertaken by ColdZyme Mouth Spray, found that we ignore important issues 36 times EVERY YEAR.

Of the 2,000 people surveyed, one in five people will postpone a task because they don't know what they're doing, whilst a third think they're simply too busy.
