Only 7 odd socks:eek: I have a sock bag full of them, I always say I'm going to buy multiple socks that are the same colour :rolleyes: I am inspired to clean my windows about 4 times a year...valid excuse...I have a jack russell who thinks she's queen of my street so spends her indoor time on the window sill....downside is doggy wetness from her nose/mouth all over the bottom of my window. As for dusting....I ocassionally sweep the room with a disapproving eye. On the plus side I've cooked 3 different dishes made with mince today, 1 to eat tonight, 2 to freeze and a nice portion on hm tomato sauce to freeze and use at a future date. Oh and I've washed the kids clothes for school 1 whole week early because I forgot it was half term this week:D

So am I too disgustingly untidy or too organized (in my dreams) to join this thread?

Me too, re the sock drawer. I have also washed and dried the uniforms. I did remember they are not going to school before I ironed them luckily. lol.
I now only buy black socks for oh navy for me and plain white for dd and white sports socks for ds. this way we only have sort of matching pairs and I know whose drawer to put them in.

BRG I used to do that when the sprogs were small, or if they had to have same coloured sox for certain activities a small stitch of different coloured thread on the toe seam sorted it out. Now I have DS at home and a young lad staying with us, so I just leave the sox in a heap on the dining table (washed ones that is, I'm not quite that disgusting!) and let them sort it out themselves. I also absolutely refuse to wash dirty sox if they haven't turned them the right way through - there have been sox unwashed for weeks in their laundry baskets so if they run out of clean ones they just go and buy more :mad:. Training for this thread, perhaps? :rolleyes:

It's ten to two. The living room is in need of a tidy. Bathroom could do with a wipe over. I should be baking bread, and cookies, and the kids should all be washed and dressed. So should I for that matter.

You know what? I'm sat here in my dressing gown. Hub is at work. Kids are in PJ's. Beds haven't been made. Pots need washing. Need to think about tea prep. Need a shower. Need to dust furniture and mop the floors.

Instead I'm on here, with my hair sticking up and a nice cup of tea. Jeez, I hope my parents don't call around LOL.

Hub snored last night. Plus, I waited up or him as he was on late shift. By the time he'd wound down, it was 2am. I'm knackered, and I am seriously considering takeaway for tea and an afternoon snuggled on the sofa.


I even used powdered cheese sauce for kids with pasta this lunchtime. How lazy is that!

I was making lasagne at midnight last night because I got waylaid going bargain-hunting at Aldi, and then watching TV for a couple of hours. (The lasagne couldn't wait - the next time I'll have an evening at home is Thursday, and the (yellow-stickered) mince would have gone off by then.)

If I didn't start cooking till 11pm, what healthy concoction, you may ask, did I have for my dinner?

Errr...

Starter: A whole jarful of rollmops, straight from the jar with a fork
Main: A packet of vegetable crisps
Dessert: A packet of fudge
All washed down with a bottle of wine...

Yesterday, tired and weary after a painful physio session, I popped into the Co-op for bread and to look for bargains and found a jar of "proper" egg custard reduced to £1.05. Bought it and scoffed half of it.

Today, (just back from acupuncture and still achy) after having a cheese sandwich for lunch, am about to go down to the kitchen and get the remainder and eat it from the pot.

Sometimes being a bit of a slob is good for the spirit!

Hello everyone, today I have done cooking and sewing which I love, but the house is in a real state! Thought I would come on here for some inspiration, but I still don't feel like housework, so I may well go back upstairs on the sewing machine, but take a duster with me just in case.
While sewing I saw that my bedroom windowframe has some nasty black gunk on it, and the bookcase beside me is very dusty, so I really ought to get on with it!:o

I'm a fan of working hard and then resting properly ... You are in a resting phase and it needs to be taken seriously
