That I'm single?

Today i got up, had left over pizza for breakfast, made an arse of tiling the kitchen without someone telling me I was doing it wrong, painted the bathroom really fucking bright green, had what i fancied for dinner, left the house in a tip, wore a bloody awful outfit to decorate in with no bra and my hair scraped back, finished it all off with a glass of red and a really inappropriate chat on the phone with my brother about piles, prune juice and sharting.

Happy sunday!

I have days like this.

I sat in bed at 1am Saturday morning eating potatoe waffles covered in vinegar and garlic salt.

It was ace as there was no one to tell I stink or to moan about me eating in bed.

Also when I fall over in the house there's no one there who knows. I can play whatever music I want.

I eat crisps in bed. No-one can stop me.

oh I LOVE being single - I get the bed to myself, ditto the TV - my house is mine - no other adults fiddling with things - bliss

FuckItBucket · 08/03/2015 22:54

And having a bath and using all the hot water because you can might just be me

I still have the toaster in my bedroom from early hours sat

The toaster in the bedroom? Utter respect.

OP posts:

FuckItBucket · 08/03/2015 22:58

Saves time! I can't be going up and down to heat the waffles!

Vinegar, garlic salt, plate, knife, fork and toaster came up with me

I ate a 10 pack that morning.

And no one but MN knows about it

grobagsforever · 08/03/2015 23:01

Where does one by garlic salt please?

FuckItBucket · 08/03/2015 23:02

Any respectable supermarket. Tesco

It's great, no need to use garlic and salt separate anymore.

The more I post the more I see why I'm single

I'm not sure i'll ever be able to share a house with another grown up ever again. Even a grown up who eats crisps in bed.

DH and I are absolute slobs. We didn't get out of bed until 4 today - we had been marathoning American Horror Story.

I wouldn't have married him if he didn't match me in that regard. Imo, it is kids that change your slobbish lifestyle, not a partner.

Fuckitbucket... Do you fall over a lot in the house?

OP posts:

FuckItBucket · 08/03/2015 23:10

Oh, i have 2 teenaged kids. They stayed in their pyjamas all day and had pizza for breakfast too.

Man**

I do! I fall down the stairs more than normal.

I slide across laminate, crash into wall etc

I'm so clumsy

cleanmyhouse · 08/03/2015 23:16

Be careful on those stairs now. I fell down the stairs and broke my coccyx once. My feet just flew out from under me, even though i was wearing those socks with grips on. They were bloody useless.

OP posts:

FuckItBucket · 08/03/2015 23:18

I wear fluffy socks and slide into the living room like I'm in a music video.

I forget sons had his toys out and go flying over them. I never learn because there's no one her to say:

Look remember last time?

cleanmyhouse · 08/03/2015 23:20

I don't really like socks actually, they make my feet too hot and i feel a bit sick.

OP posts:

FuckItBucket · 08/03/2015 23:21

I usually wear my Stompeez but they are too bulky for flying round the house.

Can't do my music video dancing in those

Original poster

cleanmyhouse · 08/03/2015 23:22

But that's sort of off topic.

I haven't been in an imaginary music video for aaaaages. Must remedy this.

Hot sock nausea was off topic in case that wasn't clear.

OP posts:

FuckItBucket · 08/03/2015 23:24

If people saw what I did while home alone I think I'd be locked up

I've been single 3.5 years now. I can't share my bed. I tolerate my son in it but I can't sleep if there's a man there.

It's like my space has been invaded.

Sleeping diagonally, talking to myself, singing along to the radio without outing myself as a musician who can't sing, eating a whole batch of pancake batter with tons of golden syrup and lemon juice and then licking the plate without being judged, waking up on a Saturday morning and deciding on a whim to go exploring without having to consult anyone, never having to compromise on getting in the bathroom at the exact second that suits my morning's plans, staying in pjs until 4pm some Sundays.

I could go on and on and on and on and on

WineCowboy · 08/03/2015 23:26

imaginary music video! I have been in a couple this weekend!! (With my mini raver dd6!)

FuckItBucket · 08/03/2015 23:28

I also like that all the storage space is all mine for whatever I want to use it for!
