I have cleaned house today from top to bottom including cleaning and bleaching all 3 toilets. They are spotless and smell lovely, you could probably eat your dinner off them!
So, the question is I am being unreasonable to stop anyone using them between now and Xmas day??!

YANBU nobody is allowed to sit down or breathe in my living room before Friday and as of tomorrow the dining room will be the same.
If anyone wants to do something like actually breathe they can do it elsewhere.

Shove a rubber tube up everyones urethra, attach a drainage bag. Empty drainage bag down the sink!!

Hey presto, a wee free toilet!!!

feed everyone immodium for the next 4 days and then no one will go....

Ah yes me too- I've been busy polishing and scrubbing all day long (including a half hour session with a bicarb of soda paste on the shower). The house is gloriously clean. The DC's are at grandma's today and tomorrow and DH not home yet so I am enjoying sitting in a perfectly clean house for a few hours.
I was wondering if I could seal off the loos with that plastic hygiene tape that you sometimes see in show homes...

I am very of your lovely clean house myhandslooksoold
I seem to clean each room while the little devils angel go round behind me messing it up.

And while I have been distracted SOMEBODY HAS USED A TOILET!
And they dried their hands on the lovely clean towel!
Blood may be shed!

sorry didn't mean to be crass.

YADNBU!

I spent my PPA time, every evening and the weekend Christmas cleaning fortnight ago. The house looked beautiful and feeling very smug I was too.

But, would you believe it, since then, people have eaten food, used the cooker, had a shower, walked on the carpets and slept in their Christmas beds!!!

So I've packed DD off to nursery today and I'm just about to drag DS away from CBBC and we are going to start all over again!

we have one loo and it keeps blocking up at the moment.

YANBU! I was going to do the kitchen at the weekend, but thought I would do it after my batches of cooking have been done so it doesn't get all messy again.

Every time anyone goes in a room they get shouted at

My DH dripped some mouthwash on the floor of the bathroom and I gave him a 'look'- he said it was like a "God why do I have to live with a boy" sort of look.
Its still tidy but I want the kids to come home now (christmas afternoon movies don't have the same attraction on my own!)...mess may well be tolerated but I can't promise it.
