We have a thread now! Thanks Gibber, have been meaning to look into this and the site looks good. And I bloody love swearing. Grin.

Let's see if I can post a linky link.

Unfuck your habitat

GibberTheMonkey · 06/09/2013 17:57

I got myself the app
I'm not very well so struggling a bit but got an instruction for the kitchen then did two 20:10s on it using the timer. It looks good though I've been slow (I feel weak) so could probably do more on a good day. Hope to get on top of it within a couple more sessions but it'll have to wait now.

I like bloody swearing to
It's fucking satisfying
Especially in relation to shitty housework

I follow the blog on feedly buried find it bloody annoying. Like fly lady the reminders are the wrong time zone. It serves as a reminder to get stuff done.

Weekipper · 06/09/2013 18:02

Not /buried. I meant *but

sleepyhead · 06/09/2013 18:03

I love this:

"Laundry and dishes have 3 steps:

  1. Wash
  2. Dry
  3. Put it away goddammit! "


Step 3 beats me Every Time. Confused Grin
GibberTheMonkey · 06/09/2013 18:20

I showed the site to a friend
His response was
"Challenge: Put Your Clothes Away Like a Damn Grownup
You have a bunch of clothes sitting around. I know you do. Whether they’re clean and piled in a basket, or dirty and on the floor, or probably a bunch of both, they aren’t where they belong. Take 20 minutes to put that shit away."
What I want to know is, how the hell did they know???
My damned flat's bugged. That's the first bit I'm unfucking, the fucking surveillance!
I'm not looking anymore, I'm scared.

Its Flylady meets Malcolm Tucker - perfect! Grin

Clobbered · 07/09/2013 08:34

Bloody brilliant. Profanity motivation. Fucking marvellous.

peggotty · 07/09/2013 08:45

Thanks for bringing this to my fucking attention - are we allowed to fucking swear while we clean our shit up?! Bloody cathartic!

CatAmongThePigeons · 07/09/2013 08:47

It is a fly lady with swears, I always respect people who use swears as a motivational tool. Will have a good read of the site today.

Chubfuddler · 07/09/2013 08:50

I love this site. Thanks for link.

My house is very tidy but that's because I havering since applied similar "get the fuck on with it" principals to my own life.

fffinsake · 07/09/2013 08:53

THIS is why fly lady never worked for me. Twee apron-wearing bullshit.

fffinsake · 07/09/2013 08:53

It looks great, thank fuck you posted about it. Thank you.

HerrenaHarridan · 07/09/2013 08:55

Shock How do the know about the teetering piles of clean washing that I hide in my bedroom Blush

buildingmycorestrength · 07/09/2013 09:11

Love the fact it is not aimed at women, wives, mothers, etc. but PEOPLE.

Because PEOPLE live in houses and have to try to keep on top of housework and like swearing.

Have casually mentioned, 'Have you seen 'Unfuck Your Habitat?' to my husband. He said no. I don't want to press it as he already thinks I am strange for not wanting to wallow in filth. But maybe he'll Google it and and the lovely swearing will make something click somewhere in that enormous brain of his....Grin

ballstoit · 07/09/2013 09:14

This sounds like just what I need...will be back later to learn more

fffinsake · 07/09/2013 09:16

Is there an email list or something?

hazchem · 07/09/2013 09:50

Yes this sounds like the shit I need in my life.

Do we sign up with them or something. I'm scared of being sent hundreds of emails to remind me to clean up ( I'm looking at you FLYLADY)

NoComet · 07/09/2013 09:52

I think I might have to put a poster of step 3 in each of my DDs bedrooms

3. Put it away goddammit!

Also it forgets step 0.

0. Put it in the fucking laundry basket

I'm a SAHM, I'm totally happy to sort stages 1 and 2 (wash and dry), and I will do 3 when time permits, but I'm sodded if I'm digging round bedrooms trying to find what is and isn't dirty. Also I'm sodded if I'm doing 3 while you watch be from your bloody game of SIMS!

daimbardiva · 07/09/2013 10:10

This is perfect, thank you! I'm another who could never get on with the tweeness of fly lady. I'm a serial marathoner and always find myself cleaning whwn people are due round.

claretandamberforever · 07/09/2013 10:20

just marking my fucking place.
