Confessions of a very tired old styler. Please join in.

My confessions:

1) I have a huge pile of washing to do
2) The load I washed this morning is still in the WM
3) There's a load of washing up to do in the sink
4) Ensuite toilet hasn't been cleaned for a week
5)Food tin cupboard so cluttered, that a tin of soup has just fallen on my big toe!
6)Kitchen table is covered with things so can't be used
7)Spare room is so full of bits I wouldn't ever let anyone in there

Looks like I'm going to be busy this week

Have decided it is better to leave my blinds down so people cant see in (and I cant see where toddler-kmate has licked the glass.

just looked at my patio windows and ....... yes .... there is still a chocolate imprint of 3yo dgs's face and hands there from three weeks ago - it would be a shame to wipe away such a lovely reminder of him wouldn't it

Clean cars?

Are you telling me that people DO actually clean cars?

Properly clean in and out of them?

People really do do that?

:rotfl:

unfortunately yes - i hate the summer months in particular, as we live on a crescent, and when we are slobbing out on the sofa all you can see is the neighbours out en masse cleaning their cars and mowing their lawns.


About 5 weeks after we moved in here the retired gentleman next door asked me if we would like to borrow their lawn mower as he had noticed we hadn't done the grass and assumed it was because being 1st time house owners that we didn't own one. :eek: I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

i sometimes wonder if we are the only ones on the street who work full time, as the rest of them are all too stepford-esk to work the hours we do.

Well after catching up on all the sleep I've lost lately, I felt a bit more human today and decided to make a start so I moved all the junk/boxes/small bits of furniture etc out of the room I need to do work in........into my daughter's bedroom as she is away this week. Took me ages to lug everything upstairs.

Then I thought I'd make a list of everything I need to do.

Sat down half an hour ago feeling quite smug that I'd actually started something.....and the phone rang. Daughter is still sobbing her heart out and is still homesick so I need to go get her tomorrow. :eek:

I've done nothing as I thought I had plenty days left till the weekend when she was supposed to come home, so there are still no clean clothes and there is still stuff all over the house. We have no food as I haven't been shopping and I'm sure the dust bunnies have invited their pals to stay.

And now I'll need to lug everything back out of daughter's bedroom and downstairs again otherwise she'll not see her bed.

Grrrr! I knew there were reasons why it was always better for me not to make an effort. It always backfires. :rolleyes:

I'm off to work on my 'I don't care' mantra...............

In my last street, I was definately the only one who worked full time. One neighbour used to text another asking when she was going to cut her grass if she hadnt cut it for more than 2 weeks! They gave me a break due to my full time working status

That could be a good idea, for ages my cat was in trouble & I kept banishing her to the garden - lucky I didnt take her to the vet, only realised was the boots when someone else mentioned it - easier for them the dont have a cat.

Oh dear...have to apologise to DS now...have been accusing him of leaving his boots outside for the cats to pee on

yes people do clean thier cars, inside and out!!! i tried this 8 years ago befor going on holiday!! i had a few bits to get from tescos before going away. unfortunatly i found it difficult to find my car in the car park, because it was so shiney i walked past (with my trolly several times) i was on the point of calling the police when i eventually recognised my number plate... i dont expect to see a shiney car in a supermarket carpark - i just head towards the dust - its quicker!!
