didi66

OMG !!! hahaha ... I have a long way to go yet.... some trousers and shirts I ironed, hung up on coat stand and tie removed and slung over chair.. shoes kicked off as soon as he got in .... hubby needs to go upstairs so I said ... Daring, you are going upstairs, so how about taking your trousers, tie,shirts and shoes with you upstairs .... Hubby replies ... oh no they are fine where they are. Where is the head banging on wall smiley ?

I will add my OH to the list of mess maker he gets my DS to fetch his beer out of the fridge :rotfl: he says hes knackered after work, he sits behind a desk I have 3 cleaning jobs and still do all the housework (well when Im not having a CBA day )

I was makeing progress on my bedroom clutter but now have more bags to jump over just to get to bed, I had better move them of OH will trip over it and it will be my fault :rotfl:
He is good in other things he's just never been domesticated

I confess

• I left all last nights tea things out in the kitchen so have had to clear them up.
• The remains of the beef casserole was still in the slow cooker but Ive boxed it up and will freeze it. By the time OH gets it out to take for a tea at work he'll have forgotten it was out of the fridge all night. Probably still in there!
• My ironing pile is so big its the width of 2 trolley bags and as high as my utility room window sill. DD actually climbed onto it when OH had to put her through the window when they locked themselves out. Some of it did get despached upstairs to our room and still sits in the trolley bags it went up in, and there is stuff in there from our summer holiday last August. Gave up most ironing and only do work and school uniforms now no ironing pile, very liberating
• Roasting tins are meant to be one use and throw away arent they - have discovered enamels ones are easier to clean if left to soak for about 4 days
• I put the first coat of paint on the dining room 3 years ago oops it was February 2002 and finally got round to the second coat in February this year but only managed to and a half walls. The painting stuff still sits under a chair. Paints gone now but not sure where
• The lounge hasnt had a second coat on it yet and that must be another 3 years - oops its was August 2003 the camera never lies Lounge redone in a different colour now, never did get the 2nd coat
• We have never painted the hall stairs and landing since we moved in as we cant reach it - it has a 24' drop so is still the lovely shade of purple that it was when we moved in , in 2000! Still not done
• I do have patches on the wall in the hall from tester pots and they must have been there since 2003 - theyre still there
• The lampshade on the top landing is minging as I cannot reach it to clean it - DS tried to get it down to clean this weekend but its wedged on so he gave it a wipe over with a cloth. I cant do it as scared of heights
• I cleaned the outside of my upstairs windows about a month ago for the first time since we moved in, when I borrowed the window cleaners stuff from work. Not been done since
• Since we had our attic conversion our room never got finished as the builder went over budget and did a bunk so we have not had a carpet in there since it was built in 2003 still no carpet
• When DD was smaller ie 2003 we used to play eye spy in bed in the mornings and every morning we would have eye spy with WB for window blobs that were the bits of glue and paper left on the velux windows. They are still there yep still there today
• The window blobs on the glass at the top of the spiral stair case can never be removed as none of us can reach and being a spiral stair case you cant use a ladder still there
• We have never built wardrobes into our attic room so constantly live with the floordrobe although I have a mega shoe cupboard under the eves - a spare single bed has become our new wardrobe
• We have a room that is known as the bin. My sons old room should be the office but every time anyone comes to stay and we have a clear up it gets chucked in the bin. Its still a bin
• The bin is also where DD's toys get sent when she wont clean her room up as I got fed up riding round with 5 bin bags full in the car
• When my dad asked me to clear some boxes out of his garage I drove round with them in the boot of my car for a year and a half and only moved them (straight into the attice!) when I sold the car.
• I never clean the car - I think the last car I did was my little Triumph Spitfire which was pre DS so must have been about 1990 - 1991

None of the above matters as we are healthy and happy

PS Page 19 is hysterical

Loved this! Thanks x:rotfl:

awww you're a gal after my own heart.I have a floordrobe that would put you to shame:o:o:o

snookey

I loved the list Ruby sounds like my house.
We have a spare room full of crap,
walls that are still needing to be painted,
shoes flung behind the front door as the last shoe rack fell to peices,
paint on the sides of the kitchen units from when oh last painted ,two years ago.
a cellar full of packing boxes, decided not to move two years ago and didnt unpack,
bulging wardrobes that have things needing to be sorted and thrown, look at it and close the door,
new curtains to go up in our room and front living room still in packing.
Could go on but the list would be too long,lol.

Hello all,

Not doing too much housework, 'cause mad busy week at work...
Just trying to not let it get too bad. Probably spend time doing it over the weekend :mad:
Hello and welcome to all newbies... we're just as friendly as the flyladies ... only less shiny... :p:p
Just want to say it's nice to be among peeps who make me feel normal.... :D:D Hope you all get what you want or need from our bunch of messies.

Wondering if the tiny parsnip has arrived yet???

Snooks maybe we should put a list on here... just once and then we can work on it if we want to or ignore at leisure....

Anyhooo,

Much love to all,

Sentora if I put a list on here of everything I needed to do there would be no space left for other posts,lol.
Iv just washed and cut the dogs hair. I get mad ideas late at night. Must be a full moon,lol. He looks much better and has had a packet of cooked chicken as a treat.
Think Im getting my energy back just hope the blood test shows my sugars are down and Im beating getting diabetes,fingers crossed.
Cant wait to see the little Parsnip hope big Parsnip is okay.
Sentora take it easy at the weekend only do what you can in an hour or two. At the end of the day you need some me time. Take care everyone Im off to bed.

Sagaris

Oh well, day off, where to start ha ha!

Weather not so good today, overcast and cold! But no rain yet, which we will have later - let's hope I can get the sheets out before then.

DH is taking the car so no temptation for me to just 'pop out' to the shops - no spending and lots of cleaning hopefully! I have got to wait in for a delivery anyway - he has bought me a very early birthday present, a new netbook! My old one died and couldn't be repaired, and we saw this one at a bargain price on Hot UK Deals - so moneysaving too!

Have a good day everyone - it's Friday after all!

Will report back with any progress later.

morning all

well my plan of action for today is :-

Empty disherwasher (family didnt while i was working)
load Dishwasher with tea and breakfast pots
put towels on line (unless raining)
tidy the kitchen table (so it can be used as a table not storage)
clean the work surfaces
mop the floor

ok, that doesnt look to bad, does it??

now just need to step away from the laptop
