I have a Tesco delivery, a Royal Mail redelivery and a fruit/veg box delivery this morning. I also have to empty the kitchen so it is possible for bear and DH to make soup tomorrow, as bear has found a recipe and wants to try it. He is six and three quarters, I am not sure it is going to end well. I will hide for the duration.

To properly clear the kitchen I need to get some stuff into the walk in cupboard. The walk in cupboard is blocked by ironing (it is that bad). I think the best I can do is do a chunk of ironing to lesson the mountain and then crack on with the kitchen, including stewing a backlog of apples to freeze.

Thinking about it, I'll probably have to clear a load out of the walk in cupboard as well. I will also have to clear/rearrange the fridge to allow for soup ingredients. There are not enough hours!

I suppose I should get off, then.

(already unfucked dishwasher, lunches, load of washing, so could be worse)

You know when you THINK you have plenty of time - and then unexpectedly you don't? That.

Visitors had to postpone visit till tomorrow, giving me loads of time to make beds etc. Only now they are coming tonight after all. And I am out!

ZingWantsCake · 28/09/2013 16:38

funny

that's a bit shit.

a bit of unfucking here today, so far

  • carpet cleaning (MrZing)
  • washing
  • climbing Clothes Mountain

must must must:
-order Next stuff - uniforms, underpants, shoes
-clean car
-sew labels on clothes
-order labels for DS5
-iron my fabrics

MrZing is taking all the Zinglings to PILs tomorrow for lunch - so I'll have a few hours to enjoy the peace and quiet do these chores

PuddingAndHotMilk · 29/09/2013 16:49

Sorry I've been a bit absent... How the fuck is the unfucking going? Are we collectively unfuckers?!

My house is being spectacularly unfucked this weekend. If DH keeps on his current unfucking train he'll have unfucked his study, the lawn, the futility room and a tip run. I've unfucked my study, our bedroom and the kitchen. I've still got to unfuck the dining room and bathroom and make the bed in the guest room.

My house has fucking never been so unfucked. I fucking LOVE it.

The reason for this unfucking hive of activity you ask? DF is coming to meet his GD tomorrow GrinGrinGrin

(Bets on how long til it's fucked again?!)

RedundantExpat · 29/09/2013 16:55

Well done Pudding !

I don't know why it works, but it does. I did have a day of rest, being sunday and all.

ZingWantsCake · 29/09/2013 17:43

ZingWantsCake · 29/09/2013 17:45

buildingmycorestrength · 01/10/2013 12:15

Part of loft unfucked, and Christmas presents sorted into gift bags (accidentally got into buying Christmas bargains in the sales and have heaps now. Yay and...umm.... hm.)

Am going to hoover loft this afternoon for the first time in probably a year, and then it will really feel like progress. Grin

LisaMedicus · 01/10/2013 18:08

no unfucking here, father has had a stroke, doing well and back home but exhausted.

Not much swearing here so I thought I would share this linky

shobby · 01/10/2013 18:27

Seriously good day spent unfucking the hideous study that I couldn't see for piles of papers and rubbish, am now sat smugly surveying an undusty desk and computer...with a mountain of paper to shred!

Also managed to persuade DH to go to A&E and get his knee unfucked that he has been moaning about (I think its broken, something is flapping about inside...) turns out to be a bit swollen, nothing broken or missing but the three hour wait was worth it just to stop the moaning!

PigletJohn · 01/10/2013 21:04

I think I've found another argument in favour of tumble driers.

Not only do they avoid the damp, condensation and mould that wet-draping can cause, but you can take the stuff out, fold it, and put it away. You weren't really going to iron it anyway.

No washing heaps here.

Plenty of other unfucking needed though. Man is coming to finish shed this week. I sense a tip run coming on.

AdoraBell · 02/10/2013 18:29

That's a damn fine argument there Piglet but I still can't justify using a drier while I have this south american sun and dry climaté. You carry on though.

Fuck all unfucking has been done this week and now I'm having a late lunch so I predict only moderate unfucking this arvo.

Shall report back, if there's anything actually worth reporting.

TheWomanTheyCallJayne · 03/10/2013 15:22

How's your dad lisa?

We've had an interesting week involving a&e
I've do e my normal level of unfucking, washing, dishwasher etc but not much more

Will get back to it soon

FunnyRunner · 04/10/2013 10:00

Lisa sorry to hear about your dad. Hope he's recovering well Thanks

At the minute I am trying to focus on maintaining the unfucked areas, rather than unfucking more. Glad I have done as we needed an emergency babysitter the other night and I would have been horrified if I hadn't already unfucked our bedroom.

ringaringarosy · 04/10/2013 11:25

buildingmycorestrength · 05/10/2013 13:26

Good Lord Mum you can't do all that! I didn't even read the list but assuming it is not a list of individual Lego bricks to be picked up, it is not humanly possible to do all that today.

Do you have help? They need to do half.

If not, cross off half.

Don't try to do it all today, obviously.

Fuck me, we aren't trying to kill ourselves with cleaning. Grin.

Mumof3xx · 05/10/2013 13:41

Haha
Standards have seriously slipped in this house!

So far I have -

Sterilised bottles
Wet washing in dryer
Stripped 3 beds
Made dd a bottle
Put washer back on again
