Thank you ladies for making me feel so normal

Hello:wave:

Am sitting in in my kitchen looking at the pile of crumbs I swept into the corner, yesterday.
The dining table has two cookbooks open at cake reciepies I was going to bake on sunday and never got round to it.
My youngest has decided she would like a home lunch today, have just come back in from helping out at the school this morning and will have to leave again in 25 mins.
It is parents night for eldest at 3.50 so won't be home until at least 4.45.
Then out for swimming with said eldest 6.30-8.00.
Where do I find the time (really I mean inclination;)) to so anything?
Have looked at the flylady thread for today and that is about as far as it will go. Estimate I will have 45 mins this afternnon when I come back from drop off and have to go out again to try and tidy the bedroom. Might just bake a bake a sweep up the crumbs...

is it bad that i got the kitchen tidy last night....so instead of cooking and messing it up, we had a takeaway? eek.

My kitchen was so bad on Saturday that we went out for dinner... Didn't do it Sunday so went out for a cheap meal again... McDonalds last night.

Kitchen still a mess :eek: but I can't afford any more meals out so will have to tidy it or maybe I will nip to M&S with my voucher and buy a new top instead

also, had to murder a massive spider last night and it ran away, fast, after I hit it twice... presumably it is dead somewhere (it can't have survived the double pronged attack and there is spider goo on the wall) in a pile of boxes and carp so I cannot tidy them away until my memory of the scary thing has gone away :eek::o:o

I have returned from my little sojourn to Spain, supervising the new bathroom and roof. For some reason the house hasn't magically cleaned itself while I was away. I don't possess a fruitbowl here, but for the purposes of this thread i did have a look at our fruitbowl in spain which contains:

1 tube of no more nails
3 hair bobbles
1 box of ibuprofen
a bandage (unusued)
1 box of blood glucose monitoring sticks
cocktail sticks (loose)
4 paperclips
4 pens (non of which work)
a green sock
a teaspoon
the dog lead
4 phone chargers
50 cents in 1 & 2 cent pieces
The Euro Weekly News
Spare car key
a paintbrush
a scarf
a roll of parcel tape

the fruit lives in the fridge

I'm shattered but the duvet is currently coverless. Debating sleeping on the sofa under a blanket rather than finishing making the bed (DH is away). I have done this enough times for similar reasons that I know it causes a bad back (unfolding the sofa bed would avoid the "no effort" of not going upstairs...)

sleep well, where ever you end up

I could iron. Honestly, I understand the theory, I have done it before. Have an iron and a board and a pile of creased-up clothes......

Nothing stopping me but utter exhaustion and a sense of mutiny.......nyah nyah, shan't!!!!!!!!!!!!:D

Hi

Ah, finally, a place I feel I belong. I love reading this thread because I feel normal and I stress less about the state of my house and can enjoy the finer things in life like enjoying my family while they are young. I always think that other people must live in immaculate houses (like my friends house) but reading this I know now that my house is normal.

I am having a family party for my little boy next week and have been avoiding cleaning and tidying the house as I will just do a super duper swipe through the night before the party to pretend the house is always clean and tidy!!!!

I dread people coming round when im not expecting them. My friend says that she just keeps the hallway tidy so that if she has to open the door to anyone then it looks ok - on the face of it!!
