The HV is probably on the phone reporting me to social services as we speak.

Shit. I forgot she was coming. To set the scene....

It is past 10, I am in my nightie and the dcs are still in their PJs looking like grubby little orphans. Dd was having the mother of all tantrums; screaming wildly as though she was being murdered, then the doorbell rings. I had to let the health visitor in to this scene of chaos after having totally forgotten she was coming.

My house is a cesspit. Last nights' chilli is still smeared over the work surfaces, the carpet smells of cheese and I had to fight my way through a sea of dirty nappies which were on their way to the outside bin just to get to the door. We've been on holiday and there are streams of dirty clothes hanging out of the washing machine as well.

God only knows what she must think. I must have looked when I opened the door. Had to run upstairs and fling some jogging bottoms on, while she soaked up the atmosphere. She must have thought I was battering dd the noise she was making.

I am so . Oh - and this is the woman who, when she rang to arrange the visit and said " Your ds is coming up to 2 now isn't he" I replied to her " Oh is he?"!!

She gave me the whole 'I always find if you're having a bad day, it always helps to get outside' speech on the way out. Yes thanks for that.

LOL!!

[WilfSell]

hahaha.

Sounds like my house.

DH always invites the neighbours in when it's like this and I have to lie and say' oh the kids have been ill; we don't always live like this'.

Yeah, right.

LOL, I really wouldn't worry, you poor thing
I left a scene like that (minus kids admittedly, they are off strutting their stuff in holiday club) behind me this morning, anyone burgles us they'll get dysentery...

I left 3 porridge bowls on the kitchen table before I went to work.

Can't do cleaning AND printing out 20 party invites for ds before leaving.

Reasons not to wash up food bowls: there are LOADS Cod!

a) can't be arsed
b) cleaner's coming soon
c) want to do something more interesting
d) dishwasher needs unloading first so it's a 10 minute job altogether, see a) above

just for starters!

[Milkysallgone]

Yep I'm lazy. Actually I'm gonna blame the whole thing on dh as he was supposed to be clearing up last night, unfortunately this usually involves half heartedly rinsing a few plates.

And you lot are partly to blame; if I wasn't mumsnetting I wouldn't have let the dcs sit there in their Pjs watching T.V all morning .
