my ex-MIL would open every single cupboard door to have a look inside.

I had rammed the airing cupboard full of the clean, unfolded towels and sheets to get rid of the pile [STRIKE]that had been sitting there for about a month or so [/STRIKE] and it cheerfully unwound itself as the door opened and the whole shooting match landed on her :rotfl:


She never did that again.

:rotfl:

She means well (I think!) It's just a bit irritating when nothing's where you left it. We came back from an evening out and my son's room had been rearranged!

Do you think it's catching? My youngest sons room is such a disaster and on top of that I think he is turning into a hoarder. He wanted to keep an old bus pass!
Bought him new school socks in Sept, they have to be all black, he had 14 pairs, now down to 5 1/2!
Last time I said something to him he just said well mummy and opened my bedroom door!

In the New Year I must try and get something sorted, baby steps, in front of the chest of drawers, then the top of it. It has happened before but then ends up as bad again. Think I need help

I had a grandmother like that, no sooner than she arrived and taken her coat off she would find the polish and a duster and find somthing that needed cleaning. one christmas it was the balistrade at the top of the stairs - she set about polishing the cat's paw prints away. as the sun moved to the side of the house and began to shine through the landing window there was a loud meow followed by a clatter and we found said cat at the bottom of the stairs confused as to how he got there. my nan was horrified at what she had done. the cat made a full recovery as soon as a tin of tuna was opened.

as far as i am aware the balistrade has never been polished since and my parents have not had a cat in over 15 years.

Another failed slob lady here!
Had to clean the downstairs as posh relly announced a visit, in the daylight!:eek: However, still used a can of spray polish as air freshener 10 mins before said relly arrived :rotfl:
Now eating chocolate to aid recovery

:jOMG I love this thread!! I am so pleased I am not the only one

I too have a floordrobe, I too do not clean the oven, I too am overwhelmed by the Flyladies!

I have got one friend who makes me feel ashamed...she's whipped your plates away from the table before you've finished chewing if you're at her house. The first time she came to mine I could see her twitching as plates made their way from knees to the floor...to join the coffee cups, wine glass and various other assorted bits of crockery which had accumulated.

Why are you wasting your time doing the cleaning - if you know she'll take care of it, that's one less that needs to be on your list :rotfl:

My sorted laundry has been sitting, in colour coded, material type piles, across the kitchen floor, for days.

It's now 22:13 and I'm finally getting round to the second load.

I started with only got three anti scale tablets - I've done reds, I'm doing blues and I've still got yellows, greys, delicates and blacks (including black delicates) to go.

The racks are filled with dry clothes and need to be emptied before I can dry anymore.

I've got to go shopping tomorrow. :eek:

For stuff I need not stuff I want :eek: :eek:

The last Sunday before Christmas. :eek: :eek: :eek:

Pray for me. _pale_

I forgot to clean the oven after Christmas 2012 and then Easter.


I really need to get on it. It's a self cleaning oven.


But in my defence, the fumes can be toxic to small animals and eldest son's gf had her hedgehog over to visit.


See I was being kind to small animals.

#3 son has put up the tree, I set up the nativity set after OH and #2 son had cleared off the top of the cupboard where it all ways sits every year. It's actually the base of a Welsh dresser, but simehow the top never gies back on from one Christmas to the next and it gets used as a dumping ground by these 2...
I hoovered, dusted and de cobbwebbed (#1 dil is phobic about cobwebs rather than spiders)
Now to vacuum pack my knitting yarn stash, marzipan and ice the cake, and wait fir my Asda order to arrive tomorrow...
