My confession is my mum has my son at the mo and my little girl is asleep upstairs. I need to get the house tidy and cleaned so what do I do? I come and post on MSE!!!!!!!!
I swear the reason I don't get stuff done is due to me switching on the lap top. I must step away.................................................

You sound just like me!, don't be so hard on yourself!. I always have loads of things that need doing but after looking after 2 young kids and working i just sometimes can't be bothered to do them!!!!!!!:beer:

elisamoose my 17 y/o DGD wears odd sox most of the time - she says it's the fashion!

I spotted odd socks (deliberately) being sold in 3's in a local shop recently! Theory being that one gets sacrificed to the great Sock God, and as they are already odd, matching doesn't matter!!:rotfl: I was tempted - whilst they were odd socks, they still kind of matched in their odd-ness!!

Confession of the day...

It's now almost 2pm and I'm sitting here procrastinating when I should be clearing out, and washing down the walls in my spare bedroom/glory hole/junk room, ready for the man who is coming to decorate it...at 8am tomorrow :eek:

[strike]My excuse[/strike] The reason is my DS, who has been working away, came home in the early hours of this morning, so we've spent a lovely long time today chatting about what we've both been doing these past few days. Family comes first

Well my house will never be a candidate either. I have a fridge magnet that reads: "This house isn't under construction. Kids just live here!"

And I know just what you mean by the Cinderella act. Believe me I know. I've had one of them [strike]nasties[/strike]husbands as well.

Don't you ever let anyone make you feel like that again. Ever!

I'd just like to just not have to panick when I get unexpected visitors. I like to be able to let people into my house without having to clear space on my couch first! lol!!! Or see the windowcleaners come up the street and not have to rush around closing the curtains!
When I get 'with it' it at least looks good on the surface.

And I consider it a good thing that visitors don't generally open drawers and cabinets in my house.
Thank the Gods for that... they'd not survive!!

Oh heavens, sounds like me! I now try to do it when I get up else I just know someone will appear and I'll have to carve a way through the mess to let them in! I'm just missing the tidy gene I reckon :rolleyes:

A friend came round on Monday to put up some mirrors for my girls, he remembered that I'd had a leak, and stupidly I told him it was from the shower, next thing I knew he was charging up my stairs to look at it :eek: Oh how I wanted to rugby tackle him before he opened the door to see the plethora of bottles and the orange soapyness on the tiles, and who knows what else that might be lurking in there! Still he didn't pass out in horror which was a bonus, cos he is a neat and tidy freak, but when I peaked over his shoulder I could see a great clump of hair in the plughole that the girls must've left in there after their showers that morning

I have lost the will to do anything at the moment.

The only proper meal I have cooked in a week was sunday lunch.
Tea on monday and tuesday was instant mash with mint sauce:eek: husband had beans on toast two days running. Today was a cold chicken leg eaten while stood looking in the fridge. And microwaved chocolate pudding and pkt of profiteroles :eek:

I am sat on stripped bed while browsing the internet trying to get the energy to get up and make it again.

I can just about drag myself to get out of bed everyday to go to work. Have been coming home and going to bed at 5pm and sleeping until 8pm and then staying awake until 2-3am.

Need a right royal boot up the backside at the moment.

Yours

Hope today was better.

Sounds like you need a proper meal and a decent night's sleep. Go on. Get the bed made, try to have something a bit healthy to eat, even if its only some microwaved veggies and rice, switch the computer off and get nicely relaxed before going to bed at a reasonable time!!

I would love to say that I have taken you advice but not really.

I have stopped going to bed at 5pm. But still have only managed to cook one proper meal this week :eek:

Sleeping a bit better. But still not 100% at the moment.

Yours

Don't worry, I think this is an end of winter feeling, once the clocks go forward and we actually start to have some decent weather you will start to feel better. I get like this every year, if only we didn't have to earn a living we could hibernate!

I agree with Fozz - but would also really encourage you to try to eat properly if you can - skimping on meals or making do with things like scrambled eggs on toast or grazing from the fridge just add to a general physical sense of feeling run down, as you won't be getting proper nourishment - and, just as importantly, in my opinion, it's tied up with a sense of self worth/self validation. You're worth spending time on, and cooking a simple hot meal then sitting down and eating it - hopefully enjoying it - is one of life's essential pleasures. Even better if there's people around to share the hour or so that it takes to cook and eat together. What else is there in life that so quickly repays the time you spend on it?

I hate when the kids want to play hide and seek. (which they play at friends houses)
in my house they cant find a single space to hide in as everywhere is crammed full of stuff :eek:. and they take their lives in their hands if they try and open a cupboard door :eek::rotfl:
