can't

Mumof3xx · 10/09/2013 21:03

An hour has passed and I've done nothing

AdoraBell · 10/09/2013 21:18

Found itGrin

We may, or may not, have someone come to view the house this evening. All I need to do is achieve dinner with no cooking smellsHmm and 2 hours with the dog trainer, and supervise the DDs with a classmate and be available to show the house, which needs to be spotless.

Fuck it.

Mumof3xx · 10/09/2013 21:28

Washing done
Pots done
Bottles done

Time for bed

LisaMedicus · 10/09/2013 22:17

AdoraBell hope viewing went well. btw I simmer cloves slowly on the stove to make the house smell nice. I use the last non stick pan I have as I fucked all the rest and this pan is pretty twatted after a pan full of cloves has simmered dry. Again. Simmering cloves are lovely. Burning cloves are toxic gas.

Everyone fed, dishwasher loaded and off, pizza cooked for ds's packed lunch tomorrow, all clothes needed for tomorrow ironed and laid out, tomorrow morning unfucked.

AdoraBell · 10/09/2013 22:28

Cloves you say? That's easier than a fucking apple pie. Thank you.

shobby · 11/09/2013 01:05

Working nights so only had the chance to unfuck my bedside cabinet when I woke up, only to find OH and DS had done their best to refuck all the unfucked stuff I had done yesterday! Decided to do a 20:10 before I go to bed this morning and not to worry about it, it still looks a lot better than before I started....

AdoraBell · 11/09/2013 02:18

Well done on not worrying about it shobby hope you Get a good day's sleep.

I have now unfucked minding a friend's DS for half an hour, feeding DDs plus 1, training dogs, feeding dogs, feeding myself and OH, taking out dog's breakfast to deforst over night, ditto a pepper to add to pasta salad for school packed lunches, and put DW on. OH unfucked a cup of tea he's a good boy sometimes unfucked my manky hair earlier, shall finísh the Job Tomorrow and Straighten it.

buildingmycorestrength · 11/09/2013 11:30

Morning all! Just morning still anyway.

Have unfucked the oven (bleurgh) and under the kitchen sink, and put the shopping away which has fucked up two of my cupboards.

Need a big rest now.

Will do some work this pm, so that will be a break from all this habitwattery. Grin Grin Grin

PuddingAndHotMilk · 11/09/2013 13:05

I've unfucked my study desk and Mac which has enabled me to unfuck my finances (well, fucked em but avoided credit rating issues iyswim)
Been to chiro to unfuck DDs back.
This pm I'll have 1 attempt to unfuck sleep between feeds then unfuck filing in study
LOVING the app!

LisaMedicus · 11/09/2013 13:07

buildingmycorestrength love habitwattery!

I've been hiding from this thread. I've cued up dinner so that's unfucked. I've started the 'behind the chairs unfuck but been relentlessly interrupted. I am fed up.

Biting bullet and going back to the armchairs of doom.

RalphGnu · 11/09/2013 15:30

Hi fellow unfuckers. I'm sitting in my unfucked living room, I have an unfucked bathroom, bedroom and kitchen too. Tomorrow I'm going to unfuck DS's room and the dining room.

I've put off doing all this for so long and I can't tell you how pleased I am with myself. I've always used the excuse of living in a rented house, with a bit of a damp problem and peeling wallpaper to be a slob, really. But do you know what? I'm 34 years old, ffs. I'm a nice person and I deserve to live in a nice tidy house with nice clean things in it and more importantly so does my lovely DS. DP and I are going to unfuck the wallpaper at the weekend and I've got some lovely paint on order along with some new curtains and cushions. My redundancy payout goes in on Friday which will be really helpful. Landlady has agreed to buy and put down new carpets too!

I must remember that housework isn't hard. Tedious as shit, yes. But not hard. Good luck everyone.

LisaMedicus · 11/09/2013 15:40

unfucking fucked here, but at least I found father's present for last Christmas. Alcohol doesn't go off, thank fuck.

Unfucked an order to Approved Food this morning. About to unfuck a Tesco order. Last one was five bottles of Famous Grouse and three pot noodles.

Going to try and finish off some of the craft projects I've started - about fifty (I threw some out) to unfuck some boxes.

Seff · 11/09/2013 16:40

My laundry pile is fucking huge. Well it would be, but it is all sorted at least and is now 4 fucking huge piles. Trying to decide which load to do first gave me a headache so I'm having a Brew instead.

Living room and kitchen are pretty much unfucked (if you ignore the piles of crap on most some of the surfaces) and I cleaned the bathroom while DD was in the bath because she was already pouring water so may as well clean herself at the same time so fuck it, I deserve a break!

Also love the idea of using pregnancy to get DH to clean the oven. I need to think what else I can get done using this excuse.

Mumof3xx · 11/09/2013 19:47

So fucking tired

Back so fucking achey

Early fucking morning

Long fucking day

Urgh

AdoraBell · 11/09/2013 20:01

PacificDogwood · 11/09/2013 20:31

I've unfucked my inbox at work today - both my actual as well as my virtual 'desk' are now fucking chasm of emptiness.
Does this count?

I fucking hope so Grin.

Aren't we all doing marvellously well - I am bloody proud.

AdoraBell · 11/09/2013 20:34

Office unfucking must count, how could it not?

Well done.

LisaMedicus · 11/09/2013 21:34

Mumof3xx - you sound exhausted, congrats on still unfucking.

PacificDogwood - it fucking does count!

Thanks to this thread I have unfucked morning - shirts ironed, lunchbox braced etc Just need to cook the pizza. Ds is currently eating cold pizza instead of sandwiches. He is also aiming to eat his own bodyweight in sugar. I am working on it.

Mumof3xx · 11/09/2013 21:50

My two would love pizza in their lunchboxes but I worry it would get frowned upon!

LisaMedicus · 11/09/2013 22:46

Ds's school are pretty liberal. The only thing they forbid is sweets. DH made the lunch one morning and accidentally put Guzzle Puzzles in (attempting to look healthy sweets) and ds has never forgiven him and always checks the lunch box now.

Ds is currently refusing sandwiches, depending on the phase of the moon. He is also currently rejecting ham (unless on pizza). He is rejecting Fridge Raiders (don't blame him) and will only eat cheese at either his auntie's or uncle's house. Or if it is pizza, because that doesn't count. Or another random reason. He loves/loathes fruit (flip a coin) and will/will not eat celery sticks or cucumber sticks as the wind changes. Tomatoes are either the work of the devil or sent from heaven. Terms and conditions apply.

He isn't the biggest challenge I have in catering. My life is a bit fucked. However at least tomorrow morning is unfucked thanks to motivation from this thread.

PuddingAndHotMilk · 12/09/2013 05:04

This thread is wonderfully motivational - great unfucking work everyone!
Today I must unfuck my sleep as well as my study & kitchen. Sleep being top priority - suffering for no naps yesterday when DD slept well and in her crib / Moses for once! 15-17 feeds per day is fucking exhausting!

poachedeggs · 12/09/2013 11:07

I'm sorry I can't quite keep up because of work but I have a day off today so I'm around again. Want to say though that your last post was very inspiring Ralph :)

I've unfucked the kitchen and started the washing so far, as well as putting away the Tesco order I thought I'd ordered for tomorrow (but as I'm clearly incapable of operating a mouse I'd clicked the wrong day and it came today, before I'd finished it, so I've got four packets of noodles, twelve pints of milk, two chickens and no fruit whatsoever).

DH is off work so I might piss off out on my bike for a bit. I also need to dish out some TLC to my old dog (he's also fucked :( but it's probably just an off day). Happy ufing folks.

AdoraBell · 12/09/2013 12:03

Pudding hope you can unfuck some sleep if DD sleeps Today.

My kitchen is fucked and staying that way for half an hour. One of my 12 yr olds Senorita Stroppy seems to have decided that chosing which perfume to douse herself in for school is moré importante than breakfastHmm that needs to be unfucked. Inventive brekkies usually help but I've been too knackered recently, also needs unfucking.

I'll be back when some unfucking has been done.
