Zing hope DD feels better and lets you sleep soon.

Today I have unfucked the kitchen. You may think that's not much To brag about but did you have Two lots of sleep overs, Frí and Sat, Go shopping fucking twice and then sit up til past midnight with a dog tired preteen covering the kitchen table in glue and paint redoing an art project this weekend?

DoesZingBumpLookBigInThis · 25/11/2013 22:37

AdoraBell · 25/11/2013 23:55

Glad DD's better.

I've run out of steam. Just having a tea and a vino before I crawl To my Bed.

TTFN.

Bakerof3pudsxx · 13/12/2013 09:46

Where the fuck did you all go?

ZingChoirsOfAngels · 13/12/2013 09:54

I've just been planning to find this thread!

unfucking has to take a backseat while morning sickness is in full power.

but, as I'm resting a lot I've picked up my sewing again - I'm making a quilted patchwork treemat (all hexagons, entirely handsewn!) and I hope to finish it by Christmas Eve.
so there's progress - that's all I can manage ATM.

I can't wait for MS to be over (hopefully will be gone in the next 3 weeks) and then I can get going.

duchesse · 13/12/2013 10:07

My house is utterly fucked again. I am drowning in books and stuff everywhere. There so much stuff that it's actually overwhelming me. I need to unfuck, badly.

Bakerof3pudsxx · 13/12/2013 11:49

Snap
My house is a fucking shit tip

MostlyFine · 15/12/2013 08:48

It is vital that we bring the thread and all the un-fuckers back because I just found the bloody thing and I need you all :)

Bakerof3pudsxx · 15/12/2013 09:24

Same here!

Come on unfuckers

Where are you!

ZingChoirsOfAngels · 15/12/2013 09:37

here

did loads of laundry related unfucking yesterday.

what are you to planning for today?

Bakerof3pudsxx · 15/12/2013 10:40

I am fucking planning -

Fold and put away 2x dry washing
Dry wet washing
Strip and wash all beds
Pots
Bottles
Pets

Wonder if I can do that by midday

MostlyFine · 15/12/2013 20:08

I sorta started. I unfucked the 50 million packages that have been lying on my stairs all week. I removed the contents from the boxes and put them in a laundry basket (it was the only recepticle I had) for wrapping/sorting tomorrow

ZingChoirsOfAngels · 16/12/2013 05:57

unfucers - I'm out.

I was really sick last night and again just now. It's awful.

10 weeks pg today and feel utterly miserable. can't sleep, can't eat, can't even breathe properly coz I'm full of coldSad
my stomach hurts and I really feel sorry for myself.

if I bend to to pick something up or have to cook or deal with smelly nappies or trying to tidy up after dinner etc I feel sick.
it's so bad by 5pm I honestly don't know how I'll cope this week - kids still at school and I'm dreading the school runs.

so keep up the good work and see you in a few weeks when I'm better.

MostlyFine · 16/12/2013 18:18

oh Zing - look after yourself and rest up. Feel better soon!

Teladi · 16/12/2013 20:33

Hiya

New to the thread. Someone suggested the UYH site on another thread and then I noticed this thread appear on Active Conversations, so I am here. Hi. I should have taken a note of who suggested it so I could thank you properly!

I am a total slattern. Not proud, obviously. I live with DH who is reasonably neat and tidy, and 2 yo DD who I really don't want to grow up like me. After finding out about UYH the other day I unfucked the random corner of my bedroom where things get thrown, and it was good. Tonight I unfucked my shelves in the bathroom cabinet and threw out all the random old shit that I don't use like moisturiser that makes my skin go all red. Why do I keep this crap?!?!

When I had unfucked the random bedroom corner the other day I found a little clear perspex box thing I used to use for jewellery a long time ago, and pleasingly it has now found a new home, holding eyeliners, mascaras and such like. Since I can actually find my makeup now I might use it sometimes, given that I am supposed to be a grown up and all that.

Zing - really feel for you reading your last few posts. Early pregnancy is so grim. Hope you are feeling better soon.

ZingChoirsOfAngels · 16/12/2013 21:14

teladi & mostly

thanks.Smile
it's not as bad as it was some of the others, but I'm older, less patient and have more kids and stuff to deal with than when I had my first few.

and this bloody cold & blocked nose makes it so much worse.

but I'm grateful for the timing - last week of school, then MrZing's home for two weeks so by the time he gies back to work and kids to school on the 6th I'll be 13 weeks, and hopefully this nausea bit will be over or at least easing up.

thanks again for being sympathetic, it helps so much!

FunnyFestiveTableRunner · 17/12/2013 00:05

Teladi if it was the hoarding thread it was probably me. This thread had fallen off my TIOl list for some reason. Need motivation this week to get ready for Christmas so marking place for tomorrow Smile

FunnyFestiveTableRunner · 17/12/2013 00:08

Oh Zing you poor thing Sad Paracetamol is your friend ditto honey and lemon and Strepsils. But it is shit having the cold when pregnant remember it well sending sympathy strokes Thanks

ZingChoirsOfAngels · 17/12/2013 00:24

funny

it's the snot that I can't get rid of, can't steam as it just makes it worse for meConfused
Pinocchio got it right with the wooden nose!Grin

thanks though, I will have some manuka honey tomorrow.
have been taking echinacea and multivitamins, and used some Snufflebabes instead if Vicks.

vvviola · 22/12/2013 06:13

May I join?

I've suddenly found myself without excuses for my slatternly behaviour (DD2 finally beginning to sleep a little better aged 2.5, and I've finished my Masters and am a reluctant SAHM until at least the middle of January if not later).

I'm extremely resistant to pink-sparkly fly lady-ness, but UFYH is right up my alley (I'm not a real-life swearer, but my internal monologue would make a sailor blush WinkBlush)

zinher · 29/12/2013 23:27

Hi everyone, just saw the website and it is fucking amazing.

I half unfucked my kitchen, lounge and hallway all in 20/10 bursts. The counters and sink are clean and dishes put away.

Can't even think of unfucking the cupboards and drawers yet. I get paralysed just thinking about them.

Need to unfuck the spare room. I use it to lob my clothes in and it is a fucking mess. Will try to unfuck it tmrw.

zinher · 01/01/2014 11:45

Pleased to report that the areas I have unfucked I am able to keep on top of with a max of two 20/10 sessions. Started to unfuck the clutter but there is way too much of it. Did one 20/10 session and haven't even made a dent in it. Off to do another
