I was going to make a cake. I just bought ice cream in the Co-op instead
I was going to deal with a backlog of paperwork but instead I swept it all into a laundry basket and put a towel over it so I can pretend there is nothing to do.

What did you fail to do?

Lose a stone and a half.

Failed to redecorate a room and sand down and stain a wooden sunlounger. Went to the pub and spent weekend outdoors instead.

Loads - sorting out old clothes so I can fit things in my drawers, cleaning the settee covers, preparing the main shower for regrouting.

I only ever manage to do essentials like washing and cooking Blush and making sure people and animals are fed.

Bargebill19 · 04/07/2021 20:26

Clean the fire, tidy my stash of yarn and write a letter. Meh - everyone survived 🤣

DH and I decided it was the right day to try out mattresses. We wound up getting completely lost on our way to the retail park and managed to turn up after they’d already closed, which also screwed up baby DD’s tea and bed time. It was a bit fraught but hopefully we’ll do better next weekend Grin

Putting the laundry away. The same as every weekend. I'm great at doing the laundry. But I'm terrible at putting it away, it just sits folded in a basket until someone needs to wear something.

emmathedilemma · 04/07/2021 20:41

Any sort of housework, laundry, food shopping or prep for the week ahead. However I’ve done a fair amount of exercise, been to some different places, helped a friend out and generally had a nice weekend!

Germolenequeen · 04/07/2021 20:42

Glass bottle recycling - AGAIN 😱

DinosaurDiana · 04/07/2021 20:43

Taking my daughter out.
I’m really enjoying hanging around the house since lockdown.

GreenCrayon · 04/07/2021 20:46

Mow the jungle that has replaced my garden.

In my defence it's pissed it down for approximately 47/48 hours.

Terrazzo · 04/07/2021 20:47

Scan my art work
Be thin (what’s new)

Achieved more than I didn’t though.

Failed to achieve a matching outfit... Night away and packed odd sandals!!
Blush

Just here to express my massive respect for this ⬆️

Paint the kitchen.

ToLiveInPeace · 04/07/2021 20:53

Have a weekend. Bastard work took over and now I'm knackered. And somehow still havin Sunday evening back-to-work dreads despite having no break. Gah.

notacooldad · 04/07/2021 20:54

Leave the house
"Get going"
Wash my hair
The list goes on..

Americam · 04/07/2021 21:01

Anything

Sgtmajormummy · 04/07/2021 21:02

Any more than minimum ironing for tomorrow morning, from a week’s worth of washed clothes.
Do a weekly shop. We had fridge bottom soup and fish fingers for Sunday lunch.
BUT we have a new puppy so I can blame it all on him.

Leaving the house.

Don't get me wrong, I haven't sat on my arse (did 8k steps yesterday) but just failed to go anywhere

Verbena87 · 04/07/2021 21:05

Make work lunch for tomorrow.

Pot on aubergine plants who are now in desperate need.

Tidy my bedroom (no, I am not 12. I am 34. Still can’t get my arse in gear.)

Put a pile of hydrangea prunings that have been languishing since winter into the garden waste bin.

Wear actual clothes (ie not leggings)

Camomila · 04/07/2021 21:07

I was hoping to deep clean the kitchen - I haven't but I did do and put away lots of laundry.

Beachbabe1 · 04/07/2021 21:11

Bathing the smelly dog!!

I did deep-clean the kitchen, but completely failed to do any laundry. I have a backlog upstairs of two full baskets needing to be put away and I can't do anymore laundry until I clear the backlog.

@Justmuddlingalong GrinGrinGrin
I didn't iron, put the washing away, do any gardening or get dressed yesterday.
