Well since my last post I have managed too

Seperate clean washing into 3 piles (one for each bedroom)
Put two of those piles away
Strip my bed
Empty the bin
Collect washing for next load
Made and fed kids tea

HiccupHaddockHorrendous · 19/10/2013 17:13

That sounds pretty productive Smile

My charity shop pile is a little bigger and I have hung a few things back up in my wardrobe. Will crack on and get the rest of the clothes away then go and feed ds (who has spent the entire day on the Xbox or watching tv apart from 45 minutes of tidying his own clothes!!).

Mumof3xx · 19/10/2013 18:14

All pots washed
Kids all in pjs

I found this thread this afternoon and downloaded the app after spending all morning nursing my hangover on the sofa. I love the app it's amazing. I especially love the random tasks bit, saves me having to think for myself so much.

So far I have unfucked

The washing up 3 times
The recycling
The food waste
The hob
Cooked tea
2 loads of washing
2 loads of drying
3 kitchen cupboards
Hoovered all carpets
Tidied the floordrobe
Made the bed
Put my make up away

Am about to unfuck another load of washing, the rabbits to bed then some washing away and Ds showered and to bed. I need to shower myself too because I'm still in my pjs.

Mumof3xx · 19/10/2013 18:40

One wash load done
Hob wiped
Reading books done

ZingDollyChops · 19/10/2013 19:39

PMSL @ saves me having to think for myself Grin Grin Grin Grin

glad you got into it! Wink

FunnyRunner · 19/10/2013 22:44

Still no new unfucking done here BUT I have been maintaining really well which helped with two lots of guests this week! Just needed to run the vacuum round before arrival as everything was tidy :o

On the app front... I'll be honest, I found the UFYH one disappointing. The Flyhelper one is MUCH better day to day because you can input your own routines (and delete any stuff you think is bollocks) plus there is a meal planner which I find really useful. I know the UFYH app is new on Android and they might upgrade features over time but for day to day stuff I swear by the Flyhelper one. You can edit it to have stuff in your routine like 'unfuck washing' or 'clear the fucking draining board!' :o

ZingDollyChops · 19/10/2013 23:25

funny

thanks for info!
I expected it to be free!

FunnyRunner · 20/10/2013 00:08

Zing I have only ever paid for 3 apps and UFYH and Flyhelper are two of those three :o

Flyhelper was £0.93 and is proving REALLY helpful for day to day not-descending-into-chaos again. HOWEVER - and to be fair to UFYH app - it is possibly more useful for unfucking stuff, if you're willing to go with it. So far I've sort of flicked through and sniggered reading it but haven't actually put it into practice.

AdoraBell · 20/10/2013 03:26

I've been unfucking things gradualmente but not getting time to unfuck updating on here, this bloody RL malarkey keeps getting in the way.

Anyway, washing machine is mold free, should last between 3 weeks and 6 months dependíng if other people leave the door open and detergent drawer on the side when I put it there.

Most of the house is habitable, just don't open the kitchen doorBlush, I have Emptied the bins though.

Feelingannoyed · 20/10/2013 09:54

About to do some unfucking.

I really need to unfuck the cupboard of doom and Ds2's toys in his room and downstairs before Christmas. I may start today if I'm brave enough.

Have unfucked the rabbits and they have fresh food, water and litter tray. Also unfucked the bathroom bin because it was overflowing.

HiccupHaddockHorrendous · 20/10/2013 10:04

Hmm, not sure how it is 10 o'clock already. I got up at 7 because my food delivery was due at 7.30 but didn't come until 8.30 so I filled the time unfucking my food cupboard and fridge.

I really need to unfuck the freezer but can't face it today Sad.

I think I need to go and make a list. I can see the day disappearing without me getting anything done.

Oh, the dinner is in the slow cooker ready for this evening so not a totally unproductive three hours Grin!!

DoYourKegels · 20/10/2013 10:10

Oh yeah, I am meant to unfucking dinner in a slow cooker.... hmm...

Feelingannoyed · 20/10/2013 10:14

I've unfucked the washing up, a load of washing, the recycling and the kitchen/dining room floors.

Am procrastinating now about the cupboard of doom.

Feelingannoyed · 20/10/2013 10:24

I've uploaded a picture of the cupboard of doom to my profile so you can see just how fucked it is.

HiccupHaddockHorrendous · 20/10/2013 10:44

Good luck!!

Would it help if I told you I have three double-door, floor to ceiling cupboards which look very much worse similar?

I was supposed to have tackled them this weekend because I have plans for the whole room but my bedroom took so long yesterday that I didn't even get near.

I have a couple of jobs to do that require me to get showered, dressed and leave the house but hopefully, I'll still have plenty of time to at least make a start on them later.

Feelingannoyed · 20/10/2013 10:56

Thanks, I've done a 20 now on my 10 break. I've pulled a load of clothes out and sorted them into keep, sell and school charity bag. I've started photographing some to sell and will need to iron some as well.

Next 20 I'm going to finish the photographing. Iron the clothes that need it, photograph them. Then next one I will list them on eBay/FB. Then start on the toys!!!!!!

HiccupHaddockHorrendous · 20/10/2013 11:02

Sounds like a good plan.

So far, I have...had a shower BlushGrin

HiccupHaddockHorrendous · 20/10/2013 13:13

Right, I'm back!

Feeling motivated and going to get lots done in the next 3 1/2 hours.

I have time to get 5 loads of washing done (don't think there's that much to actually do but might make me more likely to start if I know I've got a goal).

The recycling is mostly done and the dishwasher is on.

Going to empty the Hoover once the first wash load is in.

Mumof3xx · 20/10/2013 13:18

Share the motivation?

I have two hours to myself but just want to get in bed......

HiccupHaddockHorrendous · 20/10/2013 13:29

More than happy to share...I don't feel it very often so I'm making the most of it Grin

Washing load #1 in the machine.

Now I'm off to unfuck the fucking vacuum Sad...I think this might be my most hated job. I hate it so much that I now have two to empty because neither will work Blush

Mumof3xx · 20/10/2013 14:05

I got in bed and was rudely disturbed by shopping being delivered early
All groggy now

HiccupHaddockHorrendous · 20/10/2013 15:32

How annoying! Although, worth it not to have to suffer the trauma of going to the supermarket Grin!!

Second load of washing unfucked.

Both vacuum's emptied. One re-filled Blush and the other is charging.

Washing up done.

Dinner is done apart from cooking and mashing the potatoes. I think I need to sit down for 10 mins...I'm knackered Grin!!

Feelingannoyed · 20/10/2013 15:33

The fucking clothes have been ironed, photographed and listed on eBay and FB. I need to find a home for the fuckers.

Lunch, the washing up again and yet more washing has been unfucked. Will have to take more stuff out of the cupboard of doom.

HiccupHaddockHorrendous · 20/10/2013 19:12

I have an eBay box to put listed items in. In the past, I have misplaced an item or two and had to cancel a sale after the auction ended because I couldn't find said item Blush.

I've done three fucking loads of fucking washing and there are still 2 more to do Sad. One is trainers though so not as much of a pain to hang out afterwards.

My fucking mother called round 3 hours ago, right in the middle of tea and has only just left. She has zapped the last of my motivation but I need to find a bit extra from somewhere because I really need to get my bedroom straight before I go to bed tonight. Sigh.
