to lay on the sofa from now until 3pm watching the tv while the housework sits looking at me?

[Sparkler]

I work Monday to Thursday and today is my day off. The house is a tip from top to bottom. Washing overflowing in the basket. All I feel like doing today is dragging my duvet and pillow down and laying on the sofa watching TV.
My two DDs are at school and DH is at work.

It's what I feel like doing but feel very guilty knowing that I should be cleaning and tidying while everyone else is working.

Do it

That's what I am doing

But I cleaned yesterday & it's raining outside so can't get washing dried

the housework will still be there after your gone, so why not enjoy a day off!!!

ooooooooooooh you've twisted my arm.

I think enjoy the time to yourself, you can do housework later

I'm practising for wimbledon as well

On my day off i do something for myself, like catch up on some sleep!! then run round like a blue arsed flea before kids come home from school, i tend to find i get more done that way and a lot more satisfaction, it doesn't seem such a chore!!

Friday is my day off too. I've got a list as long as my arm, it looks like this

Put sheets on spare bed - DONE
Hoover, dust etc spare room - DONE
Hoover stairs - 1/2 DONE
Hoover, dust etc DD's room - DONE
Hoover, dust etc my room - DONE
Hoover, dust etc DS1's room - DONE
Hoover, dust etc DS2's room - DONE
Clean, hoover & mop DSs bathroom - DONE
Clean, hoover & mop DD's bathroom
Clean, hoover & mop my bathroom - DONE
Put HUGE pile of laundry away
Hoover & dust living room
Clean, hoover & mop kitchen
Put rubbish out
Sort recycling

PHEW. Am sweating buckets now after running up and down the stairs with hoovers and mop bucket

NDP - don't show me that!!! I feel like I should be doing something now.

Right I'm off before I change my mind. Just told DH on MSN to phone me at 2pm just in case I fall asleep on the sofa and poor DD2 gets left at school waiting for mummy. Don't have to worry about DD1 today - she's off to her friends house for a sleepover.

I need to get off my arse and do some more, but that's the trouble when you sit down half way through, you very rarely feel like getting back up again

I think you, are but only becuse I'm

Enjoy your duvet day

haven't read all of thread soooooooooooo want to join you having an i know ann summers party tonight i know never had one before it it going to be mad!! so have to get house have decent for people coming

nomdeplume - how many bathrooms are there in your house?!

Right it's gone 3pm, get off you arse and do some housework you lazy mare

Well I did it. Got the duvet and laid on sofa watching TV. Didn't watch much TV though - I fell asleep for about 45 mins but jumped awake thinking I was late for school run. I'm still feeling tired though. Hope I'm not sickening for something.

Just off to try and get some of this house looking respectable now, although would quite happily climb into bed for the night now.

No wonder you can't be arsed, Sparkler. You would appear to have a surfeit of bathrooms, for one thing!

Desiderata that was NDP's list -

Friday's my day off too. I usually blitz the house, while waiting fro online shopping to arrive before making dinner and going to allotment or pottering in garden, befire rushing up to schoolpick-up.
Today I was quite thrilled cos ds1 was a bit poorly - thereby giving me carte blanche to lie on sofa, eating cake and watching Godzilla with him. It's been fab!

Sorry Sparkler! I wasn't paying attention at all there

Well anyway, I hope you didn't end up doing too much!
