I have been up and down like whore's drawers.

Unfucked the school run. Thanks to this thread I had the pizza cooked for the packed lunch and all lined up. Sat down then uncle needed to talk. Then sat down and neighbour knocked with veg box delivery that had been left with him. Then uncle wanted another talk. Then Tesco arrived. Then just after that left the postie arrived with a large parcel. Only Approved Food left of the expected deliveries. I have also managed, against the odds, to put on the washer, the dishwasher and unfuck a very small corner of the living room. We are not talking about a house in need of a little light dusting here. We are talking serious shit. A bin bag is nearly full.

Re pizza - ds has been quite keen on the pizza. I got some in the Tesco delivery. I had seriously underestimated the size of of a 99p pizza and now the freezer is humoungously stuffed. Ds will go off pizza any day now, even more likely as I can't eat it, DH can't eat it and DF doesn't like it.

I am sitting surrounded by debris. Off to unfuck some of the chaos.

Mumof3xx - I think you may have your hands full, I'm impressed you are still going for it.

NotCitrus - on my first day of school I hid in a cupboard because I didn't want to go home.

Mumof3xx · 13/09/2013 11:50

She's still asleep I'm amazed!

Still half asleep myself though but I'm off to try and do a 20/10 well for as long as she sleeps

lordymissclaudy · 13/09/2013 12:07

Yes I know what you mean about the inadvertent swearing - I am in the house alone but keep saying to myself things like "right, we'll just unfuck this and then it's time for a cuppa".

Good going though, have done our bedroom and two bathrooms since my last post.

I am now in the middle of trying to unfuck DD's room but am currently wallowing in a mess of playmobil and schleich animals (she collects them). Off to Ikea next week....hopefully that will help....

Mumof3xx · 13/09/2013 12:20

I hate play Mobil its the work of the devil

Dd has finally woken after two hours

I managed to wash the mornings pots, put bottles to soak, chop broccoli and stick in a pan to make purée and wipe the work tops

olympicvibes · 13/09/2013 12:35

Every room in my house is fucked. I have 'Unfuck my House' by Toni Braxton playing in my head. I find it hard to commit so will probably never come back to say I unfucked it, so I wish you all luck in your own unfucking. But it was nice to be distracted for another 10 minutes while baby naps.

GibberTheMonkey · 13/09/2013 12:40

Been feeling drained so not done much but the minimum the last few days. Cracking sore throat today so something's on its way.

Today I have done the dishwasher (empty and fill)
,made some fridge biscuits and have a large vat of apple chutney on the go. I now want to collapse

Hello,

Can I join? I never got on with flylady.

Where do you start? With the weekend thing?

Do pee'd on my bed last night so I've been concentrating on that this morning, turned round and realised the ret if the place is a tip!

ZingWantsCake · 13/09/2013 15:37

done nothing today.

DH is home early after 3 days of absence - he can deal with it.

I'm ill. I have man flu

LisaMedicus · 13/09/2013 15:49

Now literally nauseous from carrying.

The Approved Food parcel alone was over 24kg, and I have been lugging washing up and down (we are a non posh house distributed over four floors with v v steep stairs).

Bear was sent home from school with a 'wasp' sting. It must have been a mighty fucker because you can see the massive swelling on his forehead. Poor kid. He is sitting with two ice pops, one on his forehead and one in his mouth.

Looking very takeaway tonight.

LisaMedicus · 13/09/2013 15:50

There seems a lot of physical fallout on the thread. I'd say 'go for the burn' but I'd say it a bit limply.

Mumof3xx · 13/09/2013 15:51

Dc collected from school in the rain boo hoo

Bags emptied

Lunchboxes cleaned

Prepping babies tea

Feeling urgh to paint

Lurleene · 13/09/2013 19:39

Didn't have work today so did some unfucking.

First I unfucked the car as it was MOT day - got off quite lightly, phew.

Then I unfucked my ironing basket - I don't usually iron stuff but these were all items you can't get away with not doing. It took about two hours.

I am so shit at ironing and it really fucks me off. That's why I try not to do it.

buildingmycorestrength · 13/09/2013 19:45

Thank you for bringing Quinoa into my life. Thanks

And daughter's room is a model of gorgeousness now. And I am fucking exhausted.

Also managed to take lots to the chazzer today, so am pretty fucking smug right now.

AdoraBell · 13/09/2013 20:19

I've just finished unfucking the fucking dog pen. T'is a grim Job Envy face. Am feeling stabby because of bastard dogs so when I couldn't get my fried egg, for my sándwich, To slide off the fucking slice I lobbed said slice across the kitchen. The 1 dog that hasn't fucking escaped has just unfucked the floor and cupboards of grease for meGrin. Now I have To wipe her fucking slobber off the fucking cupboards.

DDs are on hols now, they've just gone out with friends who are sleeping over why do I do this To myself on bikes/scooters/ foot To let off some steam.

Will catch up later, too stabby To bover reading and am about To unfuck tea and shortbreadGrin before I start dinner.

Well yesterdays unfucking did not go according to plan, only achieved about half of my aims but did get DP a birthday present so that's the main one out of the way.

Going to set myself some less stretching targets over the weekend, partly as I've got other stuff on, my antenatal classes start today but also I'm already starting to get tired very quickly so I'm going to avoid marathoning!

Happy unfucking everyone!

blondieminx · 14/09/2013 08:41

Fucking love this thread!

Taking DD out in a bit; then once we're back DH will take over childcare duties so I can either unfuck the autumn hanging baskets (currently filled with past it summer stuff!) OR do a run to the chazzer (have 3 binbags full from this weeks unfucking!) depending on weather.

Unfucked the ironing pile last night whilst catching up with stuff on iplayer.

Then need to unfuck a form this evening.

ChippingInNeedsSleepAndCoffee · 14/09/2013 08:49

Zing - I have your cold :( I thought I was 'getting better' yesterday, but feel like death warmed up today.

I will have to find the water thread again later (I haven't been doing very well).

I haven't been able to post for ages because I use IE and can't download anything else :( It has been torture!!

I'm going to go and do 20:10 twenty minutes with coffee & ten building up the energy to make another one

Mumof3xx · 14/09/2013 09:08

Unfucked my personal hygiene in the bath

Quick brew then first 20-10

Karbea · 14/09/2013 09:31

sorry to butt in, but how do you start the unf@cking????

ZingWantsCake · 14/09/2013 11:15

Chipping

I'm SnotWhite with the 7 sores:

Headache, DryMouth, GreenSnot,BlockedEars, BlockedNose, PersistentCough and Nausea.

I'm in bed and I'm not getting up.

is this man flu?

LisaMedicus · 14/09/2013 12:39

Zing sounds like you have woman flu, which is a lot tougher

After posting last night I threw up vigorously then went to bed @ 8pm and got up around 11.30am. May stick to unfucking my backlog of knitting projects.

Mumof3xx · 14/09/2013 14:04

Errr well I've done nothing so far

I am shit

AdoraBell · 14/09/2013 14:05

karbea t'is easy, you just decide which space is most importante for you and start there.

So much unfucking To do upstairs, DDs had friends over for one of them things were they stay up all night, what's it called? Oh yeah, sleepover.

Dog trainer will be here in an hour and the last of the nonsleepers is being collected at 1. Have so far unfucked a load of laundry, but that's good when you consider I was unloading the dishwasher at 12.15 this morningHmm

Zing are you sure you don't need To get yee To a Dr? Green snot sounds dodgy. Definitely a case if Woman Flu. Hope you feel better soon.
