Well, with people like us, it must be a comfort to Kim and Aggie that their TV series could keep going for ever. They'll never be short of work :rotfl:

How have I missed this thread??!
My fruit bowl is quite respectable atm and holds 6 apples, along with a padlock, a shower cap, a screwdriver and the coins and odd earring that are permanently fixed to the bottom by an unknown substance.....

Um hello again....Just been reading another thread and it got me thinking...I wonder if my oven really IS self cleaning....I haven't cleaned it for over 2 years so I hope it is.....:o


:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

my oven broke down recently - and i had to get a man out to fix it:eek::eek: having booked a repair man was the perfect excuse to clean the oven!! i could not have a repair man round to look at the oven in its normal state!! he congratulated me on my clean oven and suggested he did not normally look at really clean ovens:eek::eek: i also took the opertunity to hoover round th cooker space as he had to remove the cooker to repair - also this is not the norm.

despite doing a full shop today, my tea was a bowl of cereal as I couldn't be bothered
I keep using the same old frying pan, that everything sticks to and burns because I keep forgetting to buy a new one
the pasta bake dish has been "soaking" in the sink for 2 days
my ironing pile is going to fall off the chair if I put anything else on it
My laundry basket is never empty, there's about 10 things I never wear, don't want to wash, and should just bin :rotfl:
My spare room is meant to be my dressing room, instead it's turned into a junk room. I'm selling 100 books on Amazon, and they're all in boxes in there, my clothes go on the bed until I wear them, and god help anyone who wants to stay over

Just read this thread back and a quick update what 3 months later? :rotfl:
the pasta bake dish has gone
the ironing pile is done
Last week I FINALLY binned that stupid frying pan and bought a new one
and the less mentioned about the spare room the better :rotfl:

The house is full of 25 year old women giggling and eating cake - daughters baby shower. I am hiding in the office and ignoring all the stuff I have hidden under tables etc so she could have the party. All I have had to eat is a sausage butty and some icing. Hid all the pots in the dishwasher but darent turn it on cos I chucked 'em in and shut the door. God knows how long the washings been in the washer. but my Dd is glowing and everyone is having a good time!

It must be - they couldn't say it if it wasn't, was the only reason I got my oven :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Yeah, I think I've got one of those self clean ovens. It must be, surely?

There are chocolate beans in my fruit bowl and I've just ordered takeaway pizza even though there is dough in the fridge.



And there is still paint on my kitchen table from our splat painting antics earlier.

And the towels from swimming are on the floor.

And there is an aubergine on the turn in the fridge. There isn't much else in there.

It's not just chocolate beans in the fruit bowl either. There's a British Isles jigsaw, a straw art kit, a pencil case and a camera. (And the fruit.)

:rolleyes: I'm counting the beetroot juice in the red chocolate beans as one of my 5 a day.

And I've just noticed that there is a sucky cup in the veg box.

Please feel free to share your 'I'll try harder next week' stories.

I swear I really am normally more on top of things than this!

Wow! I can't believe it's been almost 2 years since I made this post.

My fruitbowl got smashed a long time ago and today the wooden one I repaced it with got a 2" long 'chip' out of it when it fell on the floor.

Hubby has very kindly put it back on the table with the chipped bit balanced in the hole. :rotfl:It has in it 2 apples, 2 pears and a Zigby Camps Out book. :A:D

The coats and DS's school bag have been dumped on his desk, but, amazingly, the house is clean and tidy. :j:T (Mainly because we had a leak and the ceiling fell in and DH gave the house a good scrub at the weekend while I took the kids out of the way!) Plaster dust is way over my mess tolerance limit!

On the other hand, upstairs, I have a pile of paperwork to do that is so big I've had to start a new pile, I have arranged to work in the morning, then go for a play date with my toddler and his friend, then manage to squeeze in some shopping, then my son's friend is coming home for tea after school then there's a work meeting at my house in the evening and I don't know how I'm going to do it all.

Do people spontaneously combust if they make as much of a mess of their schedule as they do their fruitbowls?

I have thick dust everywhere (I have a plaque that says ''you can touch the dust but please dont write in it''). I live near a main raod and its a waste of time dusting.

I have not hoovered for 3 days

My oven door is now clean (only because I couldnt see what I was cooking) but just don't look inside or on the bottom :rotfl:.

My ''craft'' corner resembles a mountain and I am scared to touch it in case I cause an avalanche.

My dishwasher needs empying but the stuff in it is clean :rotfl:

Oh and I always use Aunt Bessies

ok another confession, 2 in 1 day!

We went out for tea tonight, wasn't expecting OH home, he rang when I left work and said to wait for him in pub, had already got a portion of chicken casserole out of freezer for me so, came home from pub and threw the chicken casserole away. :rotfl:, have to say if it had been beef casserole I would have ate it tomorrow, but am a bit funny with chicken, so it had to go.

PS I have thrown my fruit bowl away.....the kitchen is now more tidy and the recycle bin is now more full
