At last I've found I'm not on my own, but I don't think I could even begin my confession list ......:eek:

Hmm, let me join in.

I haven't dusted the bedroom since Moses was young, but have washed the floor and windows??
I let the dogs sleep on the bed now the OH is away.
I haven't washed the downstairs floors in 3 weeks either.
I last dusted the living room with a feather duster a week ago (I normally do a wet dust).
The bathroom needs cleaning.
I've had to wash the wet washing again as I couldn't be bothered to take the dry stuff out of the drier and put the wet stuff in.
I had takeaway for dinner tonight as I was too idle to cook.
And finally - all my clothes are in bags as I'm to bl**dy lazy to fold them and put them away...

I kow what I won't be doing in the morning!

The house is a tip, there's loads of washing up and washing to be done, but I've decided to adopt Quentin Crisp's approach. He claimed to live in a flat which hadn't been cleaned for 32 years. He said that after the first four years, the dirt didn't get any worse! I believe that he's right.

I've noticed that if I clean this week, then next week it needs cleaning again. However, if I don't clean this week, it still needs cleaning next week. I therefore conclude that cleaning this week must be a waste of time. I'll be going out instead!

MSE forumites are so heartening; telling it like it really is.

I have last night's dishes around, the screwdrivers on the floor from a DIY joblet yesterday, could autograph the dust on most surfaces and the sofa is disappearing under a sliding heap of books and paperwork. Plus a shirt parked on a chair for over 2 weeks to have a button sewn and a maelstrom of paper notes with which I maintain the precarious organisational balance of my life.

I've been up 2 hours and have done beggar-all other than have brekkie and play up here. Not even dressed.

Recalling fondly Joan Rivers' first ever UK TV appearance in the early 80s when she was riffing on the subject of housework;

"You clean, you dust, you hoover and 6 months later, you have to do it all again."

And now I'm going out to play on the allotment. And I shan't even wash the breakfast dishes before I go, nyah nyah.

The cat tray is about three days overdue for a change of litter.
There's half an apple tree lying in the middle of the garden. (It needed radical tree surgery.) It needs chopped down into firewood/chipped before the birds start building their nests in it for spring. It's been there for the last month.
I haven't hoovered the kids' bedrooms this year.
I haven't painted the kitchen since it was replastered during the last kitchen remodel. That was four years ago. The (increasingly) distressed plaster look is back in again, surely?
The house is a mess. Nothing new there though.

So today I'm going to the allotment. The allotment looks wonderful for this time of year btw. Not a leave or clod out of place. I'd much rather garden than do housework!

our christams trees lieing in our front garden, and last years up the side of the greenhouse

we got a new freezer nearly a year ago and left stuff in our old one now were scared to open it but don't wanna bin it like that either so it's still in my garage lol

After reading the lasagne thread yesterday DH popped out to get ingredients for one. As I was running a temp ( BAD cold) he used Dolmio sauce and instant cheese sauce (comes in a pot like gravy granules).:o
TBH it was OK.:eek: Just don't tell DD (who was away) that, instance sauces, in this house, the sky will fall in next. :rotfl::rotfl:


Our Mt Washmore is so big it is to be relocated to the Hymalayas!

I won't list everything but lets just say at housework I'd get a FAIL.;)

Yesterday, I had a voucher from Tesco. £10 off if I spent £70.

The challenge, obviously, is to spend the £70 on things you need, won't use more of because they're in the house, and that aren't cheaper and nicer if bought somewhere else.

I also needed to fill up the car for a long journey. So I obviously wanted my 5p off per litre voucher.

So....dragging around Tesco...alcohol and half price chocolates for upcoming birthdays. 3 for 2 catfood. Lots of 3 for 2 catfood. BOGOF cheese for the freezer. Still a few pounds short.

I do, rather desperately, need a new oven glove. These were on 3 for 2, and I quite need some new teatowels as well. So, one oven glove, two packs of teatowels.

Until I checked my receipt, and discovered one of the packs of teatowels was only 49p.

I left my son with the trolley, and went back to the shelves to check for more 49p teatowels. There weren't any. But I got myself another pack of regular ones, queued up at customer services and got them to refund the two more expensive items, then give me three for the same money.

This was on top of a trip to Poundland *and* a trip to Wilkinson's earlier...Oh...and I'd dropped in at Aldi on my way home from dropping DD at her Saturday job.

And that was practically my Saturday gone. Some days I do wonder why I bother...
