My home is a mess

I have had a busy day. I have:

Washed up and tidied the kitchen (that is now untidy again.) then....

came on here to see how the other messies are getting on. Then...

Had my haircut and listened to my dippy daughter tying my hairdresser up in knots over what she wanted and then cleared the hair up.....Then

Come on here to see how the other messies are getting on. then

I went to the co-op to get some bacon because youngest son said he wants a cooked breakfast on Christmas day and he will cook it. The last bit I will wait and see about-it may well turn out to be lunchtime before he gets up. Then....

I came on here to see how the other messies are getting on......Then

I phoned my mum to see if she is still coming for Christmas and then.....

I came on here to see how the other messies are getting on....then

I sorted out some presents......and

Came on here to see how the other messies are getting on..

God you lot are addictive.....or perhaps it is just a good excuse for a sit down.:rotfl:

Well messies I am done! I have cleaned and hoovered and tidied all downstairs and put up some lights and sacrificed a bit of leylandii to stand in for a tree! I haven't been this unmessy for Christmas for many years. Upstairs (apart from main bedroom) is still a messy nightmare, but I really don't mind... if the whole house was tidy I'd feel weird!

I have also wrapped presents, and now shall sit here and play with my new sewing machine - I can't believe that my plan actually worked and I am going to actually relax and enjoy myself for the evening!

I may have spent the last wee while crocheting instead of tidying . However I have a plan, I am going to move all the spare things in the living room into the dining room, close the door and forget it is there until after the celebrations

Then I am going to do the dishwasher and boil the potatoes so we can have them fried in butter with dinner later, a little bite of heaven . Going to wait until tomorrow to clean out the beasts and then they can have fresh beds for xmas eve just like us! The kitchen and the bathroom just need a wee wipe over apart from the floors which need a really good scrubbing.

Tomorrow I will get the rest of the presents wrapped while my DD is out with her grandparents although I may attempt to do a couple tonight with a glass of wine and some lovely Christmas candles burning in the background.

No idea why I am thinking about getting the house sorted so much as we don't even have anyone coming to visit :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

OK I feel suitably ashamed You have done more than me and you are definately poorlier tham me :o:o

I am relying on Phase 4 and (is anyone else doing this?...) trying to convince myself it won't take that long once I get some energy...

Kitchen mostly done and MrT delivery all put away (mostly anyway - larder is fit to burst and the overspill is out in the laundry room)

No washing done - shocking as I have tonnes to do.

Well done RD - I hope you are able to enjoy Xmas despite the evil bug.

Well done other messies - Anyone else still struggling? I am!

Blimey well done everyone!!:T

Yep I'm struggling Frugal - went shopping today, it was hellish, can't keep my eyes open now! Popping up a friend's with xmas stuff in an hour, then was going to take stuff over to DS's dad's but I'm really too whacked, am doing it tomorrow instead and having a very very VERY early night!:o

I'm not struggling anymore - I've accepted I well and truly CBA and it ain't gonna be done!

Its only me and OH for xmas. While he is a wee bit laid up after the hernia op, he's certainly capable of a bit of tidying and cleaning and he's not felt inspired to pick up a duster so I figure why should I? Especially given that most of the stuff messing up the lounge and preventing us putting up the dining table is his mess. He spent most of the hoarder programme trying to suggest that my paperwork was going to end up as bad as that until I pointed out that all of my papers were together in one in-tray, the pressies for wrapping were beside the chair with the wrapping paper and EVERYTHING else in the room belonged to HIM :rotfl:

If we can get the lounge tidy enough to put the table up for xmas dinner, I'll be happy. Might even run the hoover over the carpet before bed tomorrow if we're really lucky!

Went to pics this morning Gilly - likes the film alot so did the kids

This afternoon I've had a headache that meant I dozed on the sofa for a couple of hours [tablets didn't work and sleeping is the only way I can get ris of it] Feel alot better now but yet again I'm way behind on my prep, going to start by getting the turkey thingy out to defrost in the fridge as per the instructions - trouble is - there's no room in the fridge - juggling/balancing act here I come

Just sent DD up for a bath as she is minging - greasy hormones kicking in - yuck

Rummer - good to hear you are feeling better

Rainy-Days - hope the bug goes very quickly

JPS - WTG - well done that lady

Cat and Buffy - have a good evening out partying/seeing friends

Frugal - isn't it great when they kiddies don't see whats under their noses lol - my DD is soooo nosey but just sometimes she misses things - not very often though!!

Off to get Turkey out and do something - not sure what though ;[
