Sloblady thread

Sally_A

Do we all reckon that Sloblady could be classed as a religion in the next census? Well, Jedi made it! :rotfl:

Now, this is a bit too organised for me, but if any of you are the family taxi, take a carrier bag and some polish, clean the car out whilst your waiting for your offspring to come out of swimming, brownies, scouts etc.

No extra effort involved - but please do not use a furniture polish with beeswax to clean the interior of the car. If this gets on the windscreen, it's a smeary mess - granted, it makes the granny you've mowed down look 20 years younger in soft focus, but the paperwork is a killer.

That's another insult I love shouting at gimps on bicycles " I could have squashed you, it would not have been my fault, but I can't be arsed with the paperwork, so I chose to miss you!"

Just been looking at my Lidl flyer and they actually have 'cleaning shoes' for sale (honest, no joke) they are £3.99 and come in sizes 3.5 - 7.

Just like slippers but they clean tile/laminate floors



Hilarious - when I go in on Saturday I may get some

DS (20 months) is a flat crawler and I was only joking the other day that I should pin a duster to the front of his jumper and hire him out to the village hall to polish the floor!!!

My mother will be turning in her grave if she reads this thread. She'd strip the cooker down completely to wash and even take the oven door off so she could clean in between the two pieces of glass ............ and we'd only had salad.

LOL, I love this thread! Much more my style than FlyLady!

Use towels destined for the wash to clean up the damp dust bunnies on the tiled bathroom floor. No need to even bend down, use foot to push around then kick into washbin (and try not to be horrifed my the amount of dust and hair that's picked up!).

I've done this too - used the excuse I had a bad back and couldn't bend and our bathroom is so small it was environmentally unfriendly to fill a bucket and get the mop.

I confess

• I left all last nights tea things out in the kitchen so have had to clear them up.
• The remains of the beef casserole was still in the slow cooker but Ive boxed it up and will freeze it. By the time OH gets it out to take for a tea at work he'll have forgotten it was out of the fridge all night.
• My ironing pile is so big its the width of 2 trolley bags and as high as my utility room window sill. DD actually climbed onto it when OH had to put her through the window when they locked themselves out. Some of it did get despached upstairs to our room and still sits in the trolley bags it went up in, and there is stuff in there from our summer holiday last August. No ironing pile now I have a Sheldon Cooper blue foldy thing and even hubby will use that
• Roasting tins are meant to be one use and throw away arent they still do this after a couple of uses
• I put the first coat of paint on the dining room [strike]3 years ago[/strike] oops it was February 2002 and finally got round to the second coat in February this year but only managed to and a half walls. The painting stuff still sits under a chair. Finally done but damp wall means we will have to start again once we can afford to pay to have the work done
• The lounge hasnt had a second coat on it yet and that must be another [strike]3 years [/strike]- oops its was August 2003 the camera never lies Was done 2 years ago when hubby wanted the wall to wall telly
• We have never painted the hall stairs and landing since we moved in as we cant reach it - it has a 24' drop so is still the lovely shade of purple that it was when we moved in , in 2000! still not done
• I do have patches on the wall in the hall from tester pots and they must have been there since 2003 still there has it really been that long
• The lampshade on the top landing is minging as I cannot reach it to clean it got done once I think when the bulb blew but not since
• I cleaned the outside of my upstairs windows about a month ago for the first time since we moved in, when I borrowed the window cleaners stuff from work. never since
• Since we had our attic conversion our room never got finished as the builder went over budget and did a bunk so we have not had a carpet in there since it was built in 2003 still no carpet although the amount of clothes nearly covers the floor
• When DD was smaller ie 2003 we used to play eye spy in bed in the mornings and every morning we would have eye spy with WB for window blobs that were the bits of glue and paper left on the velux windows. They are still there they are a part of her childhood memories not although I might have removed 1
• The window blobs on the glass at the top of the spiral stair case can never be removed as none of us can reach and being a spiral stair case you cant use a ladder still there
• We have never built wardrobes into our attic room so constantly live with the floordrobe although I have a mega shoe cupboard under the eves still no wardrobe but have a shoe rack (overflowing) on the landing now
• We have a room that is known as the bin. My sons old room should be the office but every time anyone comes to stay and we have a clear up it gets chucked in the bin. Still the same
• The bin is also where DD's toys get sent when she wont clean her room up as I got fed up riding round with 5 bin bags full in the car DD is now 13 and has changed as she can earn pocket money for a tidy room
• When my dad asked me to clear some boxes out of his garage I drove round with them in the boot of my car for a year and a half and only moved them (straight into the attic) when I sold the car. The attic is still a nightmare
• I never clean the car - I think the last car I did was my little Triumph Spitfire which was pre DS so must have been about 1990 - 1991 - Ive had current car nearly a year and I did clean it - once

I think thats probably it for now


EDIT forgot to say I think I probably hang washing out on the line - twice a year. TD has been on at least 4 times this morning

Now thats why I try flylady as I hate to think what it would be like if I didnt!!!
