My home is a mess

soupdragon10

Cupcakes evaporated :shocked: (suspect my OH and DD assisted with this) also I don't own a cake tin so need to be eaten quickly;). I do subscribe to the no clutter therefore eat the packet theory.

If I am feeling really brave I will tackle the ironing pile tonight :eek::eek::eek: my OH usually does my ironing (I clean the drains so it's a fair swap) but he's had labyrinthitis for the past month and I daren't let him use a hot iron in case he falls.

Does laundry breed in baskets? Every time I look round there seems to be more. At least I now have washing lines and hanging everything up outside I ran out of clothes pegs.

Laurel I know exactly what you mean about lying in hospital bed - before each of my ops I was thinking about the house in chaos and worrying about guests attending the funeral - crazy what goes through your mind. After on the nice morphine pump I was apparently only interested in talking about elephants (or so my family tell me).

What an awesome thread! Dont get me wrong, I do love the Flylady threads, there are so many lovely people on there, but I always felt a bit..................failed. Yes I now that makes no sense and my house is in no way un-visitor-worthy but if I didnt achieve what was on a particular list I fretted.

Now this Easter is different - what with both sets of parents coming I made a list and have actually managed to stick to it!!

I do like all your ideas though - working full time, doing voluntry work, helping hubby with his business, and 2 dogs - when do you fit in housework!

I shall adapt a pottering theory now..............."this evening I'll potter doing some ironing and pulling up a few weeds."

Yep def happier with that!

My kitchen is spotless. Don't ask me how it happened, I don't really know, but there is nothing on the worktops or the table, or under the table, or on the floor I think an alien may have replaced me when I had my afternoon nap today :rotfl: Still haven' finished my boy's room though. That will be tonight's potter

For the sake of no clutter I dont buy biscuits - they clutter up my tummy and hips!!!

Jackie - How the hell did you manage that?!?!?!? Spotless isnt something that happens in my home - and that is way too advanced for messy old me! Although we had a takeaway and ate it out of the paper to save on dirtying plates!!!!

I really don't know it was getting tidier and tidier and as it got clearer it got easier. Bloody hell, if I had known that I might have tackled it sooner, lol! I am going to wash the floor shortly :eek:

Jackie...how you fixed for a quick trip to the emerald isle to-morrow? my kitchen could do with being spotless, last time that happened was pre-1994, the year my mother died!

wombat... my house is a skip.. you know I keep saying it is.. well, I really am not lying... I must find the camera and I'll do you pics.. seriously.. we do all believe if you do one thing you wouldn't normally it is an achievement and you should praise yourself!!!

Do you know why I have 'pigpen' as my Id?? It isn't because I smell or drag a honking blanket and have my own flock of flies... it is because I live in one!!!!

I shall add 'pics of my sty' to my Toot list!!!

LOL Marie, I will be taking photos to remind myself because I don't think it will happen again any time soon!

Ok hun - I always think cos you come up with such fantastic lists your house must be a palace. and everyone else who seem to do the lists effortlessly.

Anyway I pulled up some weeds, closely watched by next doors twins (who are camping out tonight, bless) and am running a bath.

See you on the morn!
