Great thread!!

My sink is full of last nights dishes, which will no doubt only get washed just before I start cooking dinner.

Got veggies going floppy in the fridge and potatoes seeding in the rack - I intended to make them into a soup best part of a week ago.

I haven't changed the bed in three weeks, although my excuse is that we've just moved 250 miles and I can't do everything

I need to dust and hoover as I've not done it in at least a week (there's only two of us and a cat) - although in my defence, I was away for 3 days over the weekend.

The cat vommed all over the bedroom carpet last night (I trained her ages ago not to hurl on the bed so she woke me up on her way to the floor - running across me at 90mph) I cleaned it the best I could but it was 4.30am - I still haven't 'got around' to doing it properly.

I've paperwork coming out of my ears. Some of it stretches back years - ie I got married in 2000 and didn't get around to changing my surname. I got divorced in 2006 so I suppose it's saved me a job

The bathroom bin has been full for days, despite both of us walking past it numerous times a day.

I can't even find my fruit bowl.

I'm not sure how much I want to give away - not bad at the cooking etc but terrible at cleaning. May be easiest if I give advice; do not leave sandwich bags with leftovers (fruit sandwiches etc) about. I have thrown away one ruckwack and hoping I can clean another!

OOh; my fruitbowl contains:-

2 Bills (paid)
4 Lemons (elderly)
one recharger for ipod (found ipod near ancient fruit in rucksack - seems to have cleaned up ok)
I ancient penguin (chocolate)


Fruit for lunches is to one side of bowl de to erm lack of room!

Rather than taking advantage of my baby's super sleep and cleaning the bathroom, I'm 'meal planning'. I've done 5 days out of 5 weeks.

I never iron. I buy crease free clothes simply to avoid it.

I refuse to make mashed potatoes!

I had a tax rebate and I spent it on an Omlet Cube.
But it's worth it. It's beautiful, it's easy to clean, and the hens are gorgeous.

Oh, and when I was shopping in Waitrose yesterday, a bottle of Method cleaner fell into my trolley. It's the first time in two years I've bought (and used) ready made cleaner. What's worse is: I really like it and when this bottle has gone I suspect another bottle will fall in my trolley.

A hint for those with piles of carp & nowhere else to find it, if you remove the side of the bath you can hide loads in there, replace the panel & no one will be any the wiser.

I use behind the floor level panels in the kitchen when I haven't got enough room!
