To just not 'get the 'daily flying' lists which include things like "Had a shower.." ?

[Chablis]

Firstly, yes, I know IABU, but seriously, can someone explain why people make these long lists of things which include "put the dishwasher on" or "ate breakfast" or "cleaned teeth" as if they are some kind of major achievements on a to-do list?

Surely these are just things you do automatically, as part of living, non?

Surely it takes as long to type these things down, as it does to do them?

So what's the point? Seems a sort of self-delusion of leading a busy, productive lifestyle?

Isn't it all a bit, well, meh?

I am going to

go for a pee
pour wine
chill out

OP

pags flowery cunt

I always click on that damn bat!

I have done most of my list. Hooray!

Chablis, hunland? How fucking dare you?!

Idiot.

Wasting hun

I mean who is she/he/it anyway?

I'm obviously alone in thinking Chablis has come in for some pretty OTT flak on here for mildly posing a question and not actually slagging off people with mental health issues?

As compo said, asking such questions has been done many many times before... about the healthy eating threads for example, or pram threads...not sure why this one has kicked off so

Perhaps though, we are not allowed to question things anymore, or was her tone wrong?

Cyb, this thread was one thing, but she came onto the Slatterns and Listmakers thread and posted a sarcastic piss-take. Step beyond.

Her tone was wrong, cyb. Very wrong. And very offensive. And didn't change even after it was pointed out to her the importance of congratulating oneself for achieving the parts of the list that are just part of living for some people.

ok fair enough-ski

yabu
it might not be something I would do, but if it helps other people what is the harm, you don't have to read it you know, you could make your own list....

1 didn't read something that didn't interest me.

2 didn't take the piss out of it

I love to do lists - I just scribble them down while I eat my breakfast and as I tick stuff off, it makes me feel that I am actually doing something. Really helps me with housework, as I used to just get annoyed that I had been tidying all day and it was still messy.

I must admit to "accidentally" leaving my nice long ticked off lists out when DP gets back from work He sees it and says "oh, you've been busy" and I feel somehow validated. Sad, I know, but when the house looks exactly the same as when he left, that means I have been working non-stop to run about after the kids, and I like to put the activities I have done too, and it is just nice to get a well done sometimes. Both my kids are under three, and while I'm sure they are incredibly grateful on some level for all I do for them, they can't really express it.

It's also good for "accidentally" leaving out when the house is a mess and MIL is coming round, I know she wouldn't ever say anything, but I worry she thinks I sit about mning all day. I'm possibly being daft, but it makes me feel better to look at being a SAHM like a paid job, if that makes sense. So I try and have a routine and a weekly plan and I have a desk for paying bills/sorting out the hb (which takes up more time than working for that amount of money!) and so on.

Dp does say well done anyway, btw, but I like to think he knows what he is saying well done for exactly...maybe i am odd?

I have a haiku
Thank you Dorothea. Most touching

(can't quite believe how this thread went after I had to go to supper....)

I want a haiku

Pag's flowery cunt

At least it didn't end with 'Pag's flowery cunt'...

Pag's flowery cunt - gives a whole new meaning to sorting out one's ladygarden

At least it didn't end with 'Pag's flowery cunt'...

Pag's flowery cunt

At least it didn't end with 'Pag's flowery cunt'...

I love Pag's flowery cunt.

Now let that be the last we hear of Pag's flowery cunt.

Let what be the last we hear?

Oh, yes: "I love Pag's flowery cunt."
