    My mother was a hoarder, still is. But not so bad now.

    I rebelled by being ultra clean and tidy.

    I have since reverted to type and couldn't be arased most of the time.

    But I have a diamond of an OH who cleans, cuts the grass, puts the bins out, cleans the bathroom. Power washes the drive.

    Mmm. I do the cooking. And there is a big mess after. But we enjoy our grub. And OH will fill the dishwasher with glee when he is full!

    I am a lazy sod.

    But why have A dog, when you can bark yourself!

    I love him.
  • Well cleaning the floors on Friday was a waste of time! Two bottles of coke and a cup of tea were spilled this weekend, necessitating me to get on my hands and knees to clean them again. The lesson here slobladies, is do not clean the floors until it is truly necessary, or you will end up having to do it twice!
  • By dint of sheer boredom, I decided to dismantle and try to repair my Dyson. I cleaned it all, reassembled it and appear to have fixed the clacking thing it was doing. I carefully cleaned up the floor where I had repaired it, and then put it back in the cupboard. Didn't hoover the rest of the flat. Didn't want to jinx it.

    My friend sent me a text yesterday to tell me he would be outside my home in 10 minutes if I fancied a cuppa. I managed to tidy up a living room, brush my teeth and get a bra on in those ten minutes. Lovely as it was to see him, I was slightly disappointed, as I had set Sunday aside as a no-bra (stay at home) day.
    Some days, it's just not worth chewing through the leather straps....

  • Lurked on here, and have laughed so much it induced coughing fits several times.

    By the way, you know those clothes that don't like heights? they also like a snuggle under the duvet- which is handy when you need to hide a lot of them when those pesky unplanned visitors show up.
  • I have been lurking and reading this thread for a while...and keep coming back to it! I feel that you guys are my family. No one I know in RL would ever admit to being so lazy, so I try to keep it a secret...but no more! I am a Slob lady and proud of it! (Just don't mention it to my husband though, okay? He suspects I am a slob, but I do manage to keep his suspicions at bay with a bit of trickery and fibs) :rotfl:

    Here is an admission: Got home from work last night with just enough energy to take knock out migraine meds, went to bed about 6pm and fell asleep fully clothed. Woke up about 5am had bath pulled on clothes from day/night before (with just a change of the necessaries - even I couldn't not do that!) and was back on the road to work by 6.54am Got puked on at work so was quite pleased hadnt found anything clean to put on:) Migraine has scaled down to raging headache and I really do have to find something clean to put on tomorrow!
    Be the change you want to see -with apologies to Gandhi :o

    Being ecologically friendly with water, and only washing those clothes that are dirty, stained or smelly :T

    I guess in FL land you would declutter and just have one that did the whole lot! I would like one that did the vacuuming too;)
