I shredded and also re arranged the shed.

Everywhere is a mess still but I can see how it will work out tomorrow..........either me with wine and in tears or me with a tidy bedroom and conservatory.........................................

I work with someone who has to have everything in it's place. Even the plates and cups go into the cupboard in colour order. I am just soooo..... not like that. Coming on here makes me feel so much better about my messy muddle.

Sigh. Scales haven't budged. Well, the wii fit hasn't budged. Even though I've been really good all week. Hoping it's all carpet and the fact that I'm wearing heavier clothes than last week. Mum is getting me some bathroom scales so hopefully they will show that my weight has budged.

Anyway, done a buttload of washing up this morning, but still haven't managed to get the wet washing hung up. Hanging a bit up every time I go into the kitchen. Doglet is asleep on the sofa, B is asleep upstairs, feeling distinctly lonely! I know I really should do some sorting out but..I don't know if I can bring myself to get up.

Have a good day xx

Morning All. Welcome back GreyQueen. Big ((HUGS)) to couch-bound, snotty, and busy Messies alike!
Mess report here-
Wrapped about half the Christmas stuff, pleased at making what is, for me, an early start. Realised that I still need to do more pressie-shopping, depressing thought as back in work again tomorrow, week off wasn`t as productive as planned after all (nothing new there then!)
Kitchen a bomb site this am, but floor has stayed remarkably clean, especially considering wet weather.
Dithering over meals to plan for next few days.Need to make a shopping list too.
Bedroom in a right state. 4 stacked folding storage crate things (Mr.T, £2.79 each, excellent) with wrapped pressies in. 2 with unwrapped.
WOOL all over the place, as I dug out stuff for eldest DGD. She`s desperate to be tatting with wool at the mo. Is taking her knitting home, as her mum is able to assist with the process, but I`ve been teaching her to crochet. (MY role exclusively, this, as we`re both left-handed.) She likes crochet as there`s only one stitch at a time to drop!!) Now having a flap finding school kit etc as her mums coming soon to collect her!
Feeling lethargic now, but hope for another burst of oomph later in the day to distract self from thinking about work on Monday! (I`ll be happy as a pig in muck once I get there, love my job, it`s just the getting up early beforehand that I hate)

Welcome back GQ! Sounds like a busy Sunday there with you. I'm studiously ignoring how dirty my kitchen and dining room floors are - they need a good mop but I'm not in the mood.

From my list, as I feared, I haven't done the lot, but I have done the washing, cleaned out the cat tray, fixed some reed screening that got pulled away from the fence in the winds, filled the bird feeders and put some of the shopping away (I put some of the sweeties and chocolate away in my tummy, omnomnom )

I have decided against baking bread as in true MSE styleee I am going to use up some packets of instant noodles for work lunches this coming week. Anyway there's no room in the freezer for it, so some of it would get wasted too.

The rest of my day shall be spent wallowing in my mess and not caring a jot about it!

Having a bad bad day here. Mum is on a mission to do EVERYTHING and it is making me feel awful. Last night I stopped working to keep her company and of course that meant I left everything in a mess. at the moment the dishwasher, tumble dyer and shower are all on shakey ground.

The thing is we have very different approaches, as I have always lived in small spaces everything I keep must be there for a reason. She has always had a whole house stuffed to the rafters with everything so all the cupboards have things that fall out or tricks to get the doors closed (I hate this and do want it all organised). She thinks her way is best and cannot bear the mess I make when I am tidying....so I aviod tidying so as to not disrupt my two precious days off work with arguments. However there are always moments like this when I am basically depressed or simply unhappy with the mess(plus my natural laziness) and I think pull yourself together and get it sorted.........but I don't, I have a very tidy shed but the other rooms are a mess!

still onward and upward....................

Just picked up from the thread last night, or was it Friday? What we want for Christmas...

Realistic (ish):

Sewing machine (around £50 - £60) - I have lots of fabric from old clothes/bedding etc. that I haven't recycled or charity shopped - I am going to use them to make raggy patchwork stuff. I may even figure out how to alter or even make proper clothes one day!

Eco paper log maker (around £15 - £20) - Not sure how efficient this will be but I am drawn by the lure of free stuff to burn in my open fires that don't usually get used due to fuel costs!

Unrealistic:

Netbook - this will have to wait until the overdraft is a bit lower, unless a lottery win or other windfall makes me rich in the meantime (I don't actually do the lottery so will have to hope that someone in my family wins and takes pity on me!)

Buffy I am like your mum and have the "open the door, push it in, close the door before an avalanche engulfs me" approach to my spare room. My "shed" is the same, it's the under stairs space which is large in this house, strangely, as it's just a small 3 bed semi. It is in dire need of sorting out, everything would fit if only I would actually DO the declutter and tidying. It annoys me that I don't do it, I love it when it's all tidy.
