My home is a mess

snookey

Hi everyone. Emm Im glad to see that your now well enough to return to work. Hugs to anyone else who needs them .
Iv been having yet another clear out, this time of son's room. He had clothing from when he was 13 ! he is 18 now. We have eight bin bags of stuff for the charity shop .
Im determined that this will be the last big clear out we will need . Pigs may fly , lol but still.
Things to do Sunday , ironing dd clothes , more washing of stuff for charity shop (they are clean but have been lying in drawers for a good while). Shower the dog, he stinks !. Hoover again as the only way to keep on top of the moulting of four cats and a dog is to do it everyday. That along with a rubber mop.
Had a crown fitted the other week and my dd 10, asked if it was in the shape of a crown you put on your head. Lol.

Hi hope everyones having a good day.
Iv bathed the dog ,cleaned the bathroom and booked with the charity shop for wed to pick up the donations.
Iv now got to motivate myself to clean the kitchen,iron clothing and put some more washing on.
Pork joint cooking in the oven need to peel potatoes and prepare veg .
Will clean out the bird cage on Monday, Hoover and mop floors .
Son will be painting his bedroom from the selection of paint in the cellar.
Ill pop off now and start the chores.

Hi Messies!
Snookey, Hi & well done on your clear-out! I have a rubber broom that is brilliant, but haven`t seen a rubber mop. My old Daftie-dog stinks too - but it`s mostly on account of feeding her pilchards (as well as her normal food). Pilchardy f@rts are just something we`ve had to learn to live with...

Messy status report:
Not sure if it`s because of thought of going back to work on Tuesday, or because it`s cooler & bright today, but I`ve had a burst of Motivation!!!
DGD`s bedding washed/hanging out to dry
Both loo`s cleaned & sparkly, washbasins too.
Kitchen - sink/drainer/worktops clear & cleaned.
LR rugs shaken/turned, after Henrying & mopping. (Go me!)
WM load of towels done & hanging outside.

Still to do:
(Having a break first)
HM stuffing to make - stuffed lamb hearts treat for OH, pork steaks & stuffing in oven at same time for me & DS. Runner beans/dirty carrots & new pots to prep for tonight too.
Henry & mop kitchen floor. (AFTER food prep as I`m Messy)
Henry the Dreaded Upstairs. (See how I put that last on list?!)

LR mantelpiece,windowsill & sofa are still clear, a minor miracle in this house - but Dresser is still a total clutter-zone!

Hope you`re all having a nice Sunday out there.x
Drags self away to get on with doing stuff...

Hi messies, apparently the blocked post thing is all over the place on MSE - not sure what's going on.

I'm still improving slowly, thought I might get away without sleeping during the day today but still had to go and have a couple of hours.

Well done Emm and snooky on your de-messying! I haven't done any more apart from basic hygiene - hoping for a burst of motivation in the second half of the hols.

Hope everyone is well - have a good week!

Hi Messies!
Bearcub & Rosalie L & Scaredy Cat - WE like you! It`s so annoying when you`ve typed on merrily then try to post it and it all disappears! I had this just after the forum changed whatsits, after being closed for the weekend, had to keep signing in again. Very annoying.

Well, I didn`t quite get to Henrying upstairs yesterday - did the stairs then OH put his foot down. Henry was confiscated.
OH said I`d done more than enough for one day...he isn`t often so assertive, so I didn`t argue!

Today, I`ve had a lie-in (up early for work tomorrow) then put clean laundry away, packed uniform & stuff for tomorrow,
put bins out, blitzed kitchen again, and have another load in WM.
I need to nip out to get bread and a few other bits, DS & DGD like the sliced stuff and it`s not keeping very well - had to bin nearly a whole loaf as it had green spots !!! Grrr. Date on it was 12th - today. If I`d done as I intended & used up some frozen stuff I`d have room to freeze a loaf...but I didn`t.
I`m really looking forward to tomorrow - once I know my shifts/days off, I`ll have a bit of a framework to try to organise
myself around, plan meals etc., I`m hoping it`ll be the kick up the bottom that I need to get moving.
Have a decent Monday all. x
