I'm about to start my big Christmas clean and tidy. AIBU to drink gin while cleaning?

[UnexpectedItemInShaggingArea]

I think it's the only way to get through a deep clean of the whole house while fending off a fractious 6 year old....

Oven doors!!!? Hell no! The dirt on the oven door plays is crucial, it stops people being able to see the dirt that is inside the oven!

Phew!

That's what I thought...

But someone ^^ is cleaning their oven door...

Yes, but just because someone else is doing it doesn't mean we need to. As my Dad says 'if someone jumped off a bridge....'

Started on the mulled wine,kids are driving me mad

Last time i tried to clean my oven door it nearly fell off, i think the grime is holding it on, i am drinking balieys , watching a wonderful life and thinking about cleaning the kitchin soon.

The cleaning to alcohol ratio is starting to tip....

I think you'd be unreasonable not to drink gin while cleaning on Christmas Eve.

I had a baileys a couple of hours ago to stave off a hangover from last night...I'm no cleaning though...It's mostly done and all the shopping etc is done. I always do the wrapping on Christmas eve anyway...Me and DH are off out tonight for a bit so I'm on a tight schedule

Good job I had 2 g&ts whilst cleaning. Found out we've run out of ice! That would be a disaster tomorrow

I'm loving the alcohol-fuelled typos...

and I'm DONE! Helped by DH who is a proper whirling dervish once he gets going. Off for a nice walk in the woods with the dog before settling into the booze properly. Happy Christmas

Done here and I've just been to dig up the garden for vegetables for tomorrow. That's fun when sozzled and it's getting dark, was trying to remember which row of green stuff I was supposed to be digging! Have been rewarded by 3 mahooosive parsnips, veg garden has been shit this year so extra doubly pleased :-)

I think this calls for a triple gin to celebrate!

YABU but YANBU if you clean while drinking gin.

Hurray for the giant parsnips! We got some good ones too :)

There's a photo on my profile, I'm that damn proud of them. Parsnip dauphinois tomorrow nom nom nom...

They are some FINE parsnips. Respect.

They gonna taste FINE with the cream and Parmesan...

Spent all afternoon cleaning, so embarrassing how truly filthy my house was! I did drop hints about the oven as I was leaving to feed the horses this morning (I'll do that floor when I get back, oh no I can't until I've cleaned the oven). To my surprise dh actually took notice and I came home to a beautiful clean oven, including a sparkling glass door. It really must be Christmas .

THey may well taste FINE but they definitely will not be 'nom, nom'. Bloody awful phrase for which you can only be absolved due to alcohol intake (mine and yours).
My alcohol to cleaning ratio tipped disastrously before I actually cleaned anything. I had changed the beds and emptied the bins then it was all over.
