Proud to have unfucked the dining room yesterday, which has been stuffed to the gills with crap we had to move around when the house was rewired a month ago and everything has just sat there...(cough)

LisaMedicus · 15/09/2013 08:56

Mumof3xx you have your hands full. Keep posting because it keeps the unfucking in your mind.

Vomiting has hit and hit hard. Yesterday fucked. Today not brilliant. Thank fuck it was set off by food intolerance so I can slope off and get dinner sorted. At 9am. Fucking slow cookers are the dog's nadgers. Or dogs' nadgers. They are so fucking awesome. Brisket, veggies, stock cube, dinner with mash in 8 hours time. I'll peel the potatoes now as well. Then need to fucking remember to freeze the soup that is left after slow cooking the brisket. Then need to fucking remember to use the soup that I freeze.

Apart from that it is a duvet day with added Doctor Who. Ds is crackers about Doctor Who. I am dealing with it.

Zing hope you feel better soon.

Zing - I never get sick?! But I'm Snot--green-White too - except I'm missing a couple of the small annoying fuckers. My throat has finally stopped feeling like I've swallowed razor blades - thank fuck. I can't taste or smell anything - but hey ho. I am full of snot (sorry peeps) and I feel like sinusitis is settling in. I never go to the Drs, but I will immediately if I think I have that, I didn't for a fortnight last time (7 years ago!!) and I am NOT putting myself through that again! How are you feeling this morning? Brew

I hope all other 'sickies' are feeling better soon!

I have to go out and buy smallest niece a present. As much as I love her, I hate shopping and I am in NO mood for it today. I think it's going to have to be put down on the 'Unfucking the jobs to do list'...? Grin

LisaMedicus · 15/09/2013 11:46

ChippingInNeedsSleepAndCoffee Shopping in this house only exists on line except for ds's shoes. You are brave to shop on a Sunday. Or any other day imo.

Grumble, whine, moan, whinge, vomit, grumble.

Going to unfuck a scarf for bear (ds). Feeling that way out. If I was a cat my ears would be on sideways.

Firsttimer7259 · 15/09/2013 12:37

Holy fuck i love this site. Swearing while doing housework is hugely cathartic - who knew?!

AdoraBell · 16/09/2013 03:26

Despite sleeping in úntil OH started nagging midday I have managed a shit load of unfuckingGrin

Up and showered before DDs
Breakfast - I had cheese on toast, t'others had self catering
All the washing
Cooked lunch, at 4, with desért
Sat down for 30 mins before bringing washing in
Walked dogs
Hung moré washing inside
Did picnic Style food while watching TV with DDs, they are off school for a week and clearly have no plan s to Go to Bed earlyHmm

Considering we had a late night last night and the sleep over the night before I reckon that was some fucking awesome unfuckingGrin

Tomorrow I plan to do Pilates in the morning while everyone else is snoozing.

Hope everyone who is feelling ill gets better very soon.

LisaMedicus · 16/09/2013 08:40

Still upchucking.

Planning on using the down time to match up the serious mound of socks I have. Every fucker in the house wears black socks! Apart from bear who wears red on weekends. It will probably take me most of the day. I threw loads out last time.

hugs to all, manly and comradely arm punches to those who don't do hugs.

buildingmycorestrength · 16/09/2013 09:13

V busy weekend and now one child somewhat ill so no unfucking here lately. No vomming thank fuck. Feel for you, all you sickies.

poachedeggs · 16/09/2013 09:28

Right, I fell off the thread but I've not been doing badly. Someone on the Joy thread mentioned Headspace which is a great way to fill ten minutes. I'm not a woo type but he has a lovely voice.

Sorry you're all spewing. Get well soon, unfuckers.

Right, off to work.

TheYamiOfYawn · 16/09/2013 11:04

Am on a 10 after some serious unfucking. My house got fucked last week when I had a horrible cold and did minimum necessary housework for survival.

With regard to socks, we have a colour-coding system. DP gets plain black, I get black with coloured bits or Brown, DD only wears knee socks and DS gets navy.

ep1977 · 16/09/2013 11:07

unfucked getting up, dressed and taking dd to nursery
unfucked breakfast for dd,me and cat
unfucked catching up on x factor whilst dh still in bed!!
unfucked 3x coffees and Farmville 2 for 1/2 hr!!

EduCated · 16/09/2013 11:19

Just found this, it looks just what I fucking need.

But I'm home poorly from work so there will be minimal unfucking today.

Is the app worth it?

ZingWantsCake · 16/09/2013 11:32

Morning fuckers!

yesterday I took everything out of our two kitchen drawers.
put all cutlery in 1 big box, all other stuff in another box - I threw away all the rubbish at the same time (decluttering done!)

put the cutlery holders and all the little boxes that are dedicated for plasters, pens, hairbands etc in the dishwasher, ready for today's sorting.
took about 40 mins

today I unfucked a load of washing before school and finally managed to see my gp about my crazy periods. I need a scan etc but at least its getting sorted too.

did a quick tesco shop, came home & put stuff away, rescued DD who got herself stuck in the dishwasher rack.
filled d'washer with cutlery and about to unfuck another load of washing. before getting DS5 from playgroup.

My cold is almost gone and I feel much better.
I feel I'm in charge!

sending you all lots of energy and motivation to unfuck your habitats.

(note to self:must drink water)

EduCated · 16/09/2013 12:07

Starting today by just doing something every time I get up from wallowing the settee. Have started by picking random things up off the floor that have been there so long I stopped seeing them Blush

Mum2Fergus · 16/09/2013 16:33

What the fuck is all this about then?!

shobby · 16/09/2013 19:11

Chose to unfuck lots of different areas and stash stuff in the loft. DS helped unfuck the boxes of old vinyl LP's that haven't been used in years and bunged them out if the way, and to my amazement DH started to help and then sorted out and packed away clothes he no longer fits and put them in vacuum bags as well! I am too stunned to unfuck anything else today ....

EduCated · 16/09/2013 19:18

Have unfucked my bathroom. And a kitchen cupboard I'd been using to store carrier bags, whilst bemoaning the lack of space in my kitchen... Blush

RakeABedOfTyneFilth · 16/09/2013 19:55

I unfucked my wardrobe today. I have an eight day old baby, so it was mainly packing away maternity clothes other than a few pairs of trousers (I still need the elastication). There are a load of work clothes I won't be able to wear until I no longer need to express bm. So I put them in fucking hanging storage covers. And I retired some shoes that were frankly, cheap shit to start with and now scruffy cheap shit, and put things on proper wooden hangers rather than those wire dry cleaning type fuckers.

Tomorrow is a getting out of the house day with a friend, but she's going to buy my birthing pool off me so I get to unfuck a bit of my kitchen as well where all the bits have been stored.

NotCitrus · 16/09/2013 21:53

Have unfucked a pile of annoying paperwork, written 3 letters, and chucked as much of said papers as possible.

Collected ds from first day of after-school club and chucked him and dd in the bath, which prevented everything from getting fucked up again. Though even if it's technically correct I'm not going to call dd a little fucker despite the constant temptation.

Survived kids' birthday party at the weekend so may get tidier now...

Glad you're feelling better Zing and getting things sorted with the Dr. I need to talk to mine about periods but he's new and I've only seen him twice, keep fucking forgettingBlush

Today I've unfucked excersise, Pilates- I'm fucking wrecked now.
Shopping, brought home and put away/in freezer
Put away clean things.

I sneaked out early leaving DW for DDs to empty as they don't Get pocket money for Nothing.

Then off into town to join the family, lunch and shopping for DDs to spend birthday money from GPs.

OH has unfucked some decluttering, I need to unfuck my crápula and Get DDs to give up their out grown clothes.

Mum2Fergus t'is about cleaning the Fuck up, but for Those of us for whom the Fly Lady approach doesn't work.

ZingWantsCake · 16/09/2013 23:59

thanks Adora!

Grin @ I need to talk to him about periods - it sounded like you need to explain to him what they are...

sorry, I'm giddyGrin

AdoraBell · 17/09/2013 00:15

Tee hee, Yeah, he's not that newGrin

Trixybelle · 17/09/2013 00:16

Just need a quick rant. Spent most of day unfucking what mil thought she had unfucked.

Jeans don't dry under towels and washing powder doesn't get poured on the floor, more than 4 items fit in the washing machine at once. How do you get to 60 and not know how to do the fucking washing properly?
Soup left out in a 20degree kitchen all weekend is not ok on Monday. boke
If you want to unfuck the ironing feel free, that doesn't mean leaving the ironing board in the middle of the kitchen and ironing one shirt a day.

AdoraBell · 17/09/2013 00:33

Rant away Trixybelle I'm Lucky enough on the other side of the world to my MIL but I still remember the, erm, standardsShock
