to be on the computer when I could be

[purepurple]

putting the dishwasher on
hoovering
ironing
thinking about what to have for tea even though I've not had any lunch
making the bed
writing that 2000 word essay
or that 10 mins powerpoint presentation
or just getting up off my lazy bum?

No cos like you i have a list of things to do and cant be arsed either!

I feel a wave of motivation coming on
dishwasher here I come!

No

I've been fannying around all morning.

So far DS has drunk 5 cans of dr pepper
DD has taken all the alphabet magnets from the fridge and prit sticked them all over my saturday paper.

I took a load of laundry out at 8am and it's still sitting waiting to be hung.

I've just given them some pittas cheese spread and tomatoes to make thir own lunch.

I'm having a 'fail' day.

My list is:
clean the fish tank
get dressed!
take dd to a party
write 100+ reports
mark 150 exam papers ( which are 4 essay style questions each)
plan lessons for next week
mark 10 pieces of coursework
organise my dressing room
make a spreadsheet and analyse my tutor group's exam results
walk the dog
book a haircut
do some research/ reading up for my lesson
the garden

No wonder I am too scared tp get off the sofa.

Oh and dp and I had planned to have rampant wild sex while dd is at a party.

You have a dressing room

I just have wardrobes that cover more floorspace than my bed.

It's Saturday. Forget about everything else.

Just don't do what i did and leave dc(3yrs) in the kitchen with lots of paint and sit in another room mn'ing thinking how wonderful it is that he's leaving you in peace and playing nice and quietly.

It is our box room that has wardrobes down one wall. Not that much to be jealous about really, especially when it is a shit tip like it is at the moment

I would love to forget about everthing else, not an option though.

don't worry about it.. tis saturday!!

I've done a few bits but keep getting interrupted by dcs.

I'm here! Only got about 10 mins though. I am watching DH prepare lunch for me and then, well who knows, DD is out.....

I actually haven't got that much to do. My house doesn't get that untidy, since I only have a 13 year old, so we are all out every day during the week. Sunday is ironing day, so as long as I've managed to get the 2 loads of washing done, by teatime, we are still on task!

Love the fact that DD has stuck alphabet letters al over your paper DWP!

YABU. Just like me

My excuse is that when I'm on the computer I can't actually see the housework and therefore it does not exist...

I didn't mind, she did it quite artfully too, may give Charles saaci a ring later

Have the fun with you Dh!

done dishwasher
eating lunch
have done 1 load of washing
hoovered downstairs, well kitchen anyway

got dressed about midday

DH has been at work since 7, so have positioned hoover in living room, to give the illusion of busy-ness for when he comes in, in a minute

ahh .. I'm now sat here contemplating the tumble dryer whilst listening to all 3 dc's playing rock band

I need to get up and do stuff grrrrrrrrrrr

not the kind of thread I need to read when I too have a list as long as your arm. dd asleep ds asleep dh at shops. I have cup of tea. Have tried being perfect housewife - can't do it and lose all sense of perspective so must remember that this is very useful activity - add to list, cross off list. Will not add the rampant sex to list - just another uncompleted task to feel guilty about!

right have done the rampant sex and had a haircut ( after the sex so that it did not mess up the do) the reports are still waiting

rampant sex during the day!!

how lucky are you.

I can't get my dc's to leave the house at the moment.

We enocourage dd to leave the house at any opportunity! She has horseriding, sleepovers and now dancing and drama.
