Eating my bowl of carby porridge in the rain and wondered this.

Help me feel better about my messy flat and share with me some un-mumsnetty thing you have done today?

I fed my boys a tin of beans for breakfast with shop bought bread (possibly a MN point for a cooked breakfast?)
I am only washing the shower curtain now as it was getting mouldy
I only got a shower just now
Eating a bowl of hot, carby porridge which is very nice.
My top floor flat is a mess and I don't care Smile

I gave my two year old a cheestring* before breakfast to shut him up so we could get out of the door.

*Disclaimer: This was followed by an appropriate, nutritious breakfast at his Nanna's house where I dropped him off before coming to work. Please don't call social services Grin

Gave my one year old a biscuit as she wouldn’t eat breakfast ! Shock

I have not changed the sheets in nearly two weeks! Should probably do that before the Easter break perhaps.

She’s now asleep and I need to clean the bathroom and kitchen floor but can’t be arsed (I’ll prob end up doing it though after a sit down and cuppa). My excuse is that I’m 36 weeks pregnant mind.

Used a toilet brush.
For reasons I won't describe as you may be eating...

SneakyGremlins · 04/04/2019 10:16

I've just put a wash on that consists of a SINGLE TOWEL Shock

And I'm sipping an energy drink.

I booked another component of our family holiday next month - we are taking the kids out of school to go to Maui.

Home77 · 04/04/2019 10:18

My wash iOS small too, just the shower curtain and a few white things. Didn't realise that was a thing- environmental reasons? DH says it adjusts automatically to the load volume. Grin

Well the cat threw up so I used the towel that needed washing anyway Grin I did my main wash yesterday! But apparently on here unless your washer creaks under the load you're selfish and personally killing the planet Wink

I didn't make my bed before leaving the house. Nor did I hang it out of the window to "air". And in fact all the windows were shut, too, so obviously I live in a damp stinking midden.

(I never make my bed when its still warm, because that is grim. And also because the cat was sleeping on it and obviously I couldn't disturb her!)

Lungelady · 04/04/2019 10:20

I am ironing watching Jeremy Kyle

Badwifey · 04/04/2019 10:20

Oh and the washing is still out on the line from yesterday Tuesday

HarrysOwl · 04/04/2019 10:26

I got up at 9am and still haven't had a shower. Blush

InspectorClouseauMNdivision · 04/04/2019 10:29

Farted in a bed and don't give a damn about "all that poo particles" 😂

Home77 · 04/04/2019 10:29

It's a bonus living in a flat as you can have a clothes airer which pulls up out of the way. I don't know how those with gardens cope without stuff like that! Wink No going out in all weathers for us

I had red velvet cake for breakfast Blush

belleshelles · 04/04/2019 10:32

Bribed DD with CBeebies so I could tidy the kitchen in peace without her helping/making even more of a mess.

There's a huge pile of washing that I'm not even going to look at today.

Me and DP are having a take away and some large glasses of wine tonight as he's had a hard week at work (DD is having left over Bolognese) Grin

mumeeee · 04/04/2019 10:37

Jebuschristchocolatebar · 04/04/2019 10:37

I’ve been tumbling a half load of wet washing while eating a bacon and egg Mc muffin and a coffee from you know where!!!Grin
