Shock Soap Dodger is in the shower, I understand hair is actually being de-greased as I typeGrin

I've unfucked one end of the loft this afternoon. Rearranged some of DS's old clothes/toys boxes so I'll be able to tell what ages they're for when DC2 gets older. Brought down four boxes of my clothes, to replace the maternity sacks I've been wearing for the past six months. There are now three piles: wear now, wear back at work (when expressing), wear back at work (finished expressing). And an embarrassingly large box of miscellaneous underwear - if I fucking find that I have more than five underskirts I'll fucking flagellate myself.

ZingWantsCake · 22/09/2013 18:22

I unfucked all school uniforms! all of them!
I have sorted most of the socks too - so no more excuses in the morning for not getting dressed on time due to not finding the clothes/don't fit/dirty....

very pleased with that!

I need to unfuck my entire fucking house and I don't know where to start.

I have a large 5 bed house (4 DC 2 large hairy bloody dogs and one cat) absolutely packed with stuff (clothing books and piles of unsorted paperwork seem to be a speciality).

Any advice? Where shall I start? Please bear in mind that this place is like the Forth Bridge, I have a job (freelance) and I don't actually want to top myself.

ep1977 · 22/09/2013 18:48

I have unfucked loads in the garden today.. been fucking glorious here.
I have unfucked breakfast and dinner for us all. I unfucked the washing up. I unfucked myself in the bath and a face mask.. been waiting to do that for fucking ages.

ep1977 · 22/09/2013 18:50

MERLYPUSS · 22/09/2013 21:28

I hoovered my grill yesterday. Croissant crumbs everywhere. Couln't be fucking arsed wiping them out. Hoover is the way to go.

JKSLtd · 22/09/2013 21:37

I am slowing working on unfucking my house - the kids, it's the bloody kids I tell you - they fucked it up, it was empty before they fucking came along....Grin

But then I (re)started work and it's all gone to hell in a handbasket again need a kick up the proverbial to get going again.

AdoraBell · 23/09/2013 01:26

Meals have been unfucked, including dog's, DW is on, I'm sitting down with a coffe and DDs are avoiding Bed because Tomorrow is teacher training day. They've unfucked all their laundry, I unfucked the drying of their laundry.

Need to Get to Fuck over to Zing's water drinking thread, currently look and feel like a fucking raisin. Tomorrow I need to unfuck a meal plan and shopping list.

Duchess is there 1 área that's moré important for you than the rest? If so I'd start there and stick to what ep1977 suggested. Good luck.

duchesse · 23/09/2013 10:27

Nah, it's all fucked. Today's project is to re-purpose four throws into two door curtains to stop the inevitable winter draughts. That will get rid of the throws and blankets that have been lying around for months waiting to be recycled.

Then (ha!) I need to Zebo the wood stoves.

ZingWantsCake · 23/09/2013 12:57

my Singer sewing machine is now serviced, new belt added and ready to roar.
it's an old treadle one (made in 1917! ) and a real beauty and I can't wait to make something on it.

I cleaned the dining room while chatting to the guy who worked on my machine.
plus another load of washing done.
I feel it was a productive morning - including paying for chess club on time!

I'm going to nap now - DD was up until 2am (teething).

RakeABedOfTyneFilth · 23/09/2013 13:10

I have the baby sleeping on my chest otherwise I would be upstairs unfucking some work I promised to do from home before said baby arrived. Oops.

Let me just finish unfucking this cup of tea, and I might even put the mug straight in the dishwasher, just for shits and giggles.

shobby · 23/09/2013 13:21

Sitting in the study on the computer surrounded by piles of stuff and dust....we were rewired and everything just got chucked in here as a dumping ground.

Must unfuck the desk at the very least but the scale of devastation is putting me off.....get a grip!!!!!!

shobby · 23/09/2013 13:23

...and I must just say hoovering a grill is just genius....my whole life needs to be hoovered!

MERLYPUSS · 23/09/2013 14:11

I used the crevice tool. Worked a treat.

ZingWantsCake · 24/09/2013 13:01

where are you all?

I unfucked freezer - currently making lunch for two little ones out of previously cooked leftovers

  • 2 cubes of apple puree (Shock DD is 17 months! )
  • 3 cubes of brown rice mush
  • a small portion of fish
  • rice and peas
  • small portion of bolognese sauce
  • small portion of chicken pasta

all heated and mixed together. Shock Grin

they will love it or hate it.
I'll report back!

RakeABedOfTyneFilth · 24/09/2013 13:04

Unfucked baby clothes stash from 1 to 18 months. Now know what the gaps are, which means I can go shopping!

Still haven't tackled my underwear mountain. It is glaring at me. Will definitely come out with a lot of ill fitting bras. How do I find out how to donate them to a refuge or Women's Aid or something? Would my HV or the Children's Centre know?

Turned the mattress this morning with DH. So, before putting next set of linen on, can unfuck the collection of mattress protectors, wrong sized sheets etc.

buildingmycorestrength · 24/09/2013 13:29

Alright, alright, I've done a teeny bit of unfucking. Not as much as hoped but my fucking health is fucking shit and my fucking body won t do my fucking bidding. So I'm just bloody getting by and doing what I can.

ZingWantsCake · 24/09/2013 13:37

building

if you have problems with your health then getting better comes first!Thanks

ZingWantsCake · 24/09/2013 13:38

kids loved lunch btw.

weirdosGrin

RedundantExpat · 24/09/2013 13:53

unfucked all shoes in basement

buildingmycorestrength · 24/09/2013 14:12

Zing kids are generally quite weird, I find. Being sick for 18 months means there is quite a lot of unfucking to do. Grin.

AdoraBell · 24/09/2013 14:49

Building definitely Health before cleaning, don't over do things.

I. Am. Fucking. Shattered.

Didn't sleep last night, got up to do breakfast and chuck packed lunches in the bags, then went back to Bed while OH did school run. I was rather rudely awoken by my stomach demanding foodHmm. Having got up again to resolver that situación I decided to unfuck the kitchen, cleanies removed from dishwasher and put away, breakfast detritus in the bin and dirty crockery and cutlery neatly hidden away in aforé mentioned dish washer.

Zing my DDs used to eat wierd combos too.

Duchess Well done, that's oficialy Two jobs unfucked.

I need to phone the bank to order a replacement card but can't currently strong a sentence together. The important bit, cancelling the one I lost, is already done. There were no dodgey transacciones so at léast I know I lost it rather than something having pilfered it.

I'm going back to Bed.

LisaMedicus · 24/09/2013 14:54

Back from vomit weekend - bear not me this time.

I've got dinner in the slow cooker, hope it will be cooked in time. It will have been in four hours on high, that's diced lamb cut small plus veggies cut fine. Otherwise it's chippy tonight then stew tomorrow.

I've ironed the shirts for tomorrow.

Now just need to get enthusiasm going to take bear to martial arts.

I am sitting in chaos, I haven't even finished the prologue let alone Part One the First. That's after I unfucked two (yes, two!) canopies that we bought @ ten years ago and then forgot.

Father is selling at a table top sale on Saturday, which coincidentally is the day I am hoping to take the books we want rid of to the charity shop. We will have a boot full. That is, we will have a boot full if we get rid of ten percent of our books and there may still be some on the back seat. I have three days to unfuck it.

I may not be posting on here much.

Comradely slaps on the back to all.
