Happy Unfucking New Year!

I cleaned the kitchen fridge yesterday to get ahead.
we have a second one in the conservatory - I aim to tackle it this week.

today I need to re-string guitars, keep tidying kitchen and fix pushchair cover, MrZing's tasks are cutting boys' hair and clean the car.

next two days will be incredibly busy - thankfully morning sickness is now only bugging me in the evenings so I can get things done during the day.

ZingChoirsOfAngels · 02/01/2014 06:31

well it didn't go as planned.

MrZing was hungover and spent most of the day in bed and I can't find guitar strings.

made an awesome soup though, cut children's nails (that's over 100 nails!) and remembered to give DS2 & DS4 their medicines on time.
small victories!Grin

Hey mrs Zing glad you are feeling better. I have become so fat just waddle around the flat. Two more months to go and I hope to cement some unfucking habits before the baby gets here. Today will do the floors, wash the bed sheets and possible iron them as well fingers crossed.

FaceDirectionOfTravel · 02/01/2014 09:00

Hi all - am back. Might have NC but was on this thread in the v beginning. Am v fucking sweary esp about stupid bleeding housework and my messy fucking housemates (i.e. children and DH)! Grin

Am so over Christmas. Want it all to go back in the loft now.

Zing - I REALLY struggle with medicines for the kids. I only have two. They don't need that much medicine, really. It is embarrassing that I can't manage this. I think I need to set alarms on my phone or something but it is just silly that it takes up so much and yet so little mental space. How can we sort this?

Happy Unfucking New Year!

I hope I may join in? I had an unfuck Christmas thread going, but not Christmas anymore :o

Being lazy and need to get unfucking.

On the Unfuck list today:

Get arse off sofa
Attack the kitchen (not too bad as the dishy has been kept up to date, but it hasn't been cleaned at all, and is looking distinctly grotty)
Put beef stew in slow cooker
Hang the washing out once machine has finished
Take DS for his preschool jabs (take sweets)
Lunch
Horses

MrsNouveauRichards · 02/01/2014 12:47

Unfucked

Laundry
DS's jabs
Lunch
Beds made
Sink soaking in cleaner
Beef stew in slow cooker (DH)
Kitchen wiped down (DH)

zinher · 02/01/2014 13:19

That's a lot of unfucking MrsRichards

I am still unfucking the laundry. Did three loads yesterday and 2 today. How did I let so much pile up?

MrsNouveauRichards · 02/01/2014 17:28

When I say I unfucked the laundry, that means I have either put a load on/hung out a load, I'm not referring to the mountain that is still left! :o

Not too shabby a day, but hoped to do more. But there is nothing that compare with cheering my husband up after some shitty work news.

Main unfucking required this evening:

Eat dinner
Get kids to bed early
Slump on sofa watching inane shite on telly
Put dishy and washing machine on before bed
Feed cat

FaceDirectionOfTravel · 03/01/2014 07:51

Today I am going to UNFUCK THE CHRISTMAS TREE! It's going down, muthafucka.

And getting my son's hair cut. And cooking a load of meals, again.

vvviola · 03/01/2014 08:38

Laundry partially unfucked here too. (There is an ironing mountain, but everything is clean and anything that doesn't need ironing is folded and put away)

DH unfucked the Christmas tree while I was out taking DD1 and her best friend to see Frozen today. Extra brownie points for him as he roped in 2yo DD2 to help Grin

Tomorrow's unfucking includes:
Finishing unfucking the playroom - I'm about 3/4 of the way there.
Clear up the deck so the DC can get out and play better (it's summer here Smile)
If it's not too hot, tackling the ironing mountain (the whole idea of the laundry having 3 parts wash-dry-put away gets scuppered by the ironing)

13loki · 03/01/2014 10:11

Morning. I just unfucked the office, which had been used as a wrapping room for Xmas. Now I need to take boxes from Xmas to the recycling bins. Combining that with a walk for exercise, and a quick grocery shop. I unfucked the futility room/laundry, but I still have a pile of washing to sort and do. I also did some kitchen unfucking, but that is never ending - damn kids wanting to eat!

zinher · 03/01/2014 12:49

FaceDirection good luck with the Christmas tree

vvviola day 3 and I am still unfucking the laundry (sighhh)

13loki I am inspired by your unfucking

Today I unfucked a lot of pending phone calls. Dnt know why I was so paralysed about them. Completely unfucked the bastards.

FaceDirectionOfTravel · 03/01/2014 14:50

Instead of doing Christmas tree stuff I have decided on the spur of the moment to swap our bedroom with my son's. The children are actually being quite helpful and we have made a good start so should be finished over the weekend.

Also need to remove carpet from my daughter's room after she had a tummy bug incident all over it the other night. Urgh. I don't think it is rescuable as it was fucking mank anyway. Think there are nice floorboards under it so we'll see. That is for another day.

13loki · 03/01/2014 20:48

Oh, that remins me, I have to take the box full of old manly carpet I ripped up out of the futility room when we moved in to the assorted rubbish area of the recyclong centre. And I should paint the floor, but when will I not need to go in there long enough for paint to dry?

zinher I don't do phone calls. DH gest frustrated as I spent years working in call centers but hate talking on the phone. And now we live abroad and I'm woefully bad at the local language there is no way I am ringing anyone.

ZingChoirsOfAngels · 03/01/2014 22:25

just here to say scan went well, good heartbeat - I'm so happy!Smile

it was nice to spend a few hours afterwards just MrZing and I, having lunch, doing a bit of shopping.

I'm proud to announce that I am in possession some perfectly fitting brand new knickers!
yay!
(underwear draw is getting unfucked tomorrow! Wink )

we also bought some new lamps for living room - it's just not been cozy so hopefully that's all sorted tomorrow as well.

tiring day and been sick again so I'll be resting a bit tomorrow - but the weekend will be spent with getting stuff ready for school.

IamMummyhearmeROAR · 03/01/2014 22:49

Just posting to unfuck the thread as I cannot go to bed and leave it on the number of the beast. Now it's 667 posts I feel better! Grin

Bakerof3pudsxx · 04/01/2014 09:26

Today I will unfuck all the kitchen drawers and cupboards

I will won't i?

Good news on the scan zing!

vvviola · 04/01/2014 09:51

Great news on the scan Zing Smile

No unfucking done here today. DH wrecked his back, so I took kids out for morning and then to DH's aunt's I the afternoon for a family barbecue without DH, I am so holding on to the brownie points for that oneGrin

ZingChoirsOfAngels · 04/01/2014 10:01

thanks guys!

vviola

it's two brownie points for every child you take with additional points for each hour your DH spends alone!

you might just gain enough to exchange for a girlie night out! Grin

zinher · 04/01/2014 10:26

Congratulations on the scan news zing

I unfucked my bed finally. Washed and ironed the sheets and made it this morning. Unfucking awesome.

Today will unfuck the bathroom and generally tidy up.

MrsNouveauRichards · 04/01/2014 13:03

Morning all.

Desperately need to do a whole lot of unfucking, but barely at home today.

This week I plan to unfuck the car and the laundry, anything else is a bonus !

Thankfully the kids go back to school on Tuesday, they have been very good, but are getting to the stage where they just can't leave each other alone.

Anyone else had enough?

13loki · 04/01/2014 14:59

I just hemmed curtains for the stairs and hall upstairs, and ironed 4 shirts for DH. He only needs 3 this week. Last night we moved the computer into the study. Baby DDs room was meant to have walls stripped, roller spackelled and painted in the summer holidays DHs paternity leave these school holidays. Lucky she's in with us until she's 6 months.

Bakerof3pudsxx · 04/01/2014 17:42

Well my unfucking cupboard and drawers did not happen
