You still can't look in the kitchen, although some bits are no longer lingering on the surfaces.

We didn't Get any rain but it was damp enough to have Stopped clothes drying. It's probably raining in the mountains.

Ebay-ers - a question. Is it worth the hassle? And what kind of things sell well? I have loads of clothes / boots etc that I never wear but equally never part with. I imagine books are too heavy to make it worthwhile selling them. Also have some costume jewellery. Is any of it worth flogging or should I just charity shop it all?

HiccupHaddockHorrendous · 21/10/2013 13:21

I've had some success with clothes and shoes/boots. Books, not so much and no idea about jewellery.

There is an eBay section on here which is full of useful info.

I generate a decent amount of dosh through eBay but generally only list things with a fixed price rather than auction so I know that things won't sell for less than I'm happy to let them go for.

CbeebiesIsMyLife · 21/10/2013 16:55

I'm feeling positive today!
I've unfucked my dining area (my staple gun broke but I will get more an finish covering the dining room chairs as soon as this fucking boiler man appears. I'll be there between 1 and 5 my arse Angry
I'm now doing the kitchen, I have built the spice racks and have done a quick tidy I'm taking a break and will start emptying and filling the dishwasher and cleaning the sides before folding putting away laundry and starting on the ironing pile.
I'm also about to put the kids dinner in the oven. I think morning sickness is finally starting to subside! :)

FunnyRunner · 21/10/2013 20:19

Good news about the morning sickness CBeebies

Hiccup ta I will check out the ebay section if I can find it

Sitting down, smug in the knowledge that all bottles are sterilised, lunch made for DC and kitchen clean :o Still maintaining rather than unfucking.

Next step: start unfucking diet.

shobby · 22/10/2013 10:01

My family amaze me with their ability to refuck everything I've unfucked and fuck up things that weren't fucked!!!! So far this week DH has fucked the dishwasher so completely I've had to buy a new one, so now having to wash up by fucking hand and empty full soiled dishwasher to boot. Plus now DS has confessed to smashing his laptop screen that is less than 6 months old ("don't know how it happened mom") which he only confessed to when I asked him why he was doing his college work on the desktop computer......I fucking despair !!!!! FFS!!

DoYourKegels · 22/10/2013 10:08

Snobby I am laughing proper belly laughs, sorry. Grin You have a funny way of putting it! Obv v annoying for you, though...

DoYourKegels · 22/10/2013 10:13

shobby I meant, sorry. Blush

IsisOhIsis · 22/10/2013 12:44

Hello unfuckers! Can I please join you? I have a whole house to unfuck and the fucking flylady with her shiny shiny sink didn't fucking appeal. This is right up my alley!

AdoraBell · 22/10/2013 16:01

Hello Isis come in, come in, you'll find no shiny shiny sinks in hereGrin

So far I have unfucked a few things

Called the bank
Stopped Teddy (Rogue Germán shepherd) opening the fucking gate and scarpering
Breakfast for the hoard
Packed lunches slung together and shoved into their bags
Proper breakfast for DH after he taken the kids to school. He's realised that he's alergia to wheat/gluten so no moré tea & toast, it has to be tea & proper fucking food. Plus side is I had ham and eggs for brekkiesGrin
fed dogs
Watered trees/plants.

I've also just been doing maíntaining rather than serious unfucking but it still counts imo.

Off to unfuck my face now, needs a scrub and face pack. Then I'll do myself some lunch. Then emails.

CBeebies glad the morning sickness is subsiding.

Slobby are you me?Confused

shobby · 22/10/2013 16:11

Welcome aboard IsisohIsis, it's a good thread to vent your spleen on which makes you feel better about the state if your fucked up house if nothing else!Wink Swearing pretty much compulsory but comes pretty naturally as far as housework goes it seems IMHO....

Glad you found my previous post entertaining, I confess I was spitting fucking feathers at the time, why does never ONE thing fucking break down at one time????
Anyhoo, after the dishwasher and laptop disasters I have attempted to try and redeem the situation by finding and unfucking all of the hidden plates, dishes and cutlery that seem to have mysteriously gravitated to various parts of the house now the broken dishwasher isn't being used as a suppository of all dirty culinary sins until the new one arrives tomorrow (hopefully!). 16 yr old DS has fucking surpassed himself here, not only managing to secrete plates with dried up pizza remains under his bed and in the laundry basket (????), but has also been playing hide and seek with the (thankfully) clip locked sandwich box that had grown more moulds that science can probably categorise on the week old remnants of my home made lasagne he had taken to college as his fucking lunch! It was so disgusting mere scrubbing has not removed all the moulds from the seals of the box (pause for slight retching whilst washing it up) I think most if what's on it would survive a nuclear fucking attack it is so virulent!
If in doubt, nuke it with fucking bleach I say....
Tried to do something mumsy to distract myself from thoughts of sending hysterical texts to DS at college about the lasagne science experiment (I can just imagine him rolling his eyes "it's the Marge, she's having a go at me about something" to his mates) so made some choccy chip muffins.. they are fucking lush if I say so myself, perhaps I will just tempt DH and DS with the lovely baking odour and not let them have any until they learn to sodding clear up after themselves!!!!!!SmileSmileSmileSmileSmileSmile
Sod a 20:10, I'm going to have AT LEAST an hour to myself doing fuck all! Or I might do the hoovering while they are all out of the way..Wink

IsisOhIsis · 22/10/2013 18:14

Thanks both! I am doing some serious unfucking at the minute, but its requiring me to fuck everything up really badly first. Things are starting to come together though, I've hung some curtains I bought about 3 years ago and put lots of pictures on the wall thatve been hanging about on the landing for fucking ages. Am banishing all but A VERY SMALL FUCKING SELECTION of 2yo dd's toys to her room. Feeling fucking positive! I can fucking do this shit!

adorabell where on earth do you live that you have to water the trees? Isn't it fucking pissing it down there? Can I come?
shobby eat all the muffins. Make them watch

So fucking good I said it twice, apparently

shobby · 22/10/2013 18:27

Your swearing is coming on nicely IsisOhIsis !Grin

DS just back form college....muffins hidden....ha ha!

Tells me he is currently 'going commando'.....er......why FFS???!! Hmm

"Because we had to do an assault course in the rain and mud mom"........Shock ....and your dirty mud sodden clothes are where darling?
"Left at college because I didn't have a bag to bring them home in!!!!Arrrrgh! More disgusting fucking delights to come then!!!!

AdoraBell · 22/10/2013 18:28

I'm in Latín América, just starting to warm up here after winter what fucking winter? It didn't happen, you can't call 4 days of rain winter

Shobby I concurre with Isis you should eat all the muffins, leave crumbs on a plateWink. And wrt to colega age DS I wouldn't have cleaned the lasaña pot, I would have kept it for him and then shoved it under his nose for him to clean.

Face is unfucked, all nice and fresh and now I have to put fucking sunblock on it and clog everything up again, school run beckons.

IsisOhIsis · 22/10/2013 18:36

Oh lordy, adorabell, I am so cold and jealous!

shobby, thank you, I'm glad you noticed. Tbh, I'm something of a seasoned swearer. Some people think its a sign of low intelligence but I think that's cunting ridiculous

AdoraBell · 22/10/2013 18:43

Nap, it's swearing badly that's a sign of low intelegence. Us who did it Well are súper brainy fuckersGrin

I'll have a word with the weather Gods and Get them to send some sunshine over to your gaff Isis.

IsisOhIsis · 22/10/2013 18:45

If you would

AdoraBell · 24/10/2013 02:57

Unfucked the dogs Today, they are all clean and Fluffy nowGrin. Fucking good Job I decided to do it Today coz I now realise this hay fever is a fucking cold plus whatever it is everyone has.

That's the trouble with plants and natura and shit like that, you see between the beginning of spring and the end of autumn I can't tell when I Get a cold úntil it's got a firm grip on me. I shall survive Wink

AdoraBell · 26/10/2013 22:33

Where is everyone, all busy unfucking?

I've been ticking over as best I can with a cold, managed to paint my nails yesterday as Well a hooveringGrin. Currently sitting in the garden not thinking about all the unfucking that I could be getting on with.

Mumof3xx · 27/10/2013 07:21

Also full of a cold and feel like my ear is blocked

AdoraBell · 28/10/2013 01:40

Oh no, blocked ears are the worst! hope you feel better very soon. Ours is one of those "every joint is about to snap" type colds, with a lot of snot for good measure, almost like flu but you know it's not.

Not so much unfucking today, it;s been too bleeding hot to do anything.

Tomorrow I need to attend to a stained mattress among other things. Must try to call credit card peeps too.

Mumof3xx · 28/10/2013 06:33

My cold is purely nose related. Ears are better today. Lots to do but dunno if it will happen

Mumof3xx · 28/10/2013 09:44

Unfucked so far -

Bottles washed
Bottles sterilised
Pots washed
Sink clean
One wash done
Washing in dryer
