Unfuck my habitat

[GibberTheMonkey]

Do we have a thread already?
The prissy fly lady lot do
Anyone want to join me?

Trap door? Isn't that what the cupboard under the stairs is for? :o

DH came home for a late lunch and it has thrown me. But have cleared up lunch stuff, done washing up, wiped down sides, gone through mount washmore, wrapped a birthday present, and cleaned the dining room table. Not too shabby.

Now need to sort out credit card (boring)

I have partly filled the boot with crap. Hurrah. I have included half-finished art projects of the children's, lovely kits they were given last year and started but never finished, many many tiny rubbers and notebooks half filled with secret codes and so on. SO. MUCH. CRAP.

Can you believe I still have the tree up.

Have also put on a wash and chatted to a friend for an hour and a half on skype - hurrah!

Having quite a crap day. Haven't managed to unfuck anything and everything seems so overwhelming

zinher

may I offer you some ?

I did ok - got drawers put in, sorted a bit of my sewing paraphernalia and half of our outside fridge.
plus put dishwasher on, done 3 loads of washing, done shopping, washed my hair and prepared dinner.

and rested as well.

I love child-free Wednesdays!

Zinher :( hopefully today is a blip and tomorrow you will be feeling full of the joys of spring (well, maybe spring is a little optimistic, but as much joy as January can muster :o )

DH is out this evening, and for some inexplicable reason I find myself gutting the sitting room instead of sitting on my fat arse watching shite on the telly, eating my bodyweight in chocolate and crisps.

One 20/10
Moved everything that resides in the sitting room that shouldn't into the dining room
Moved sofas
Moved tables
Hoovered behind and under sofa 1
Hoovered the cobwebs off the walls (yes, I'm truly ashamed)
Put a different table in the corner (looks better I think)
Coated sofa one and its cushions with bicarbonate of soda and vanilla

Second 20/10
Other sofa unfucked
Rug bicarbed
Glass doors on tv unit, telly, computer etc all dusted
Side lamp dusted
Kids bookshelf being weeded

Next 20/10
Hoover rug and remaining floor
Hoover/clean fireplace
Start putting stuff back/bin/somewhere else

Completely knackered now!

I have hoovered the rug and rest of floor
Mopped the floor

Now feeling sleepy, but need to put all the shit away. Do you think the kids would notice if I binned it all? :o

Going to finish my glass of water (rock and roll) find something to watch on telly, and pick my way through the crap with a well earned glass of wine.

There is clearly something in the water round here, I've just unfucked the conservatory/laundry room

I have only managed to do the dishwasher, take the bins and recycling out, and 2 loads of washing. I have however fed the baby almost constantly since 10am.

MrsNouveau You are on fire.

Loki you have unfucked the baby, well done. That sounds so wrong.

ANOTHER child home ill today - impetigo. Lots of lovely boil washes in the machine. Dishwasher broke so had a repairman out to fix that. Managed to get to the tip (hurrah!) but the bin men failed to empty one of our bins that my DH had compacted so much that the rubbish wouldn't actually come out. Hmph.

Vair little tidying managed today - had to have two naps due to chronic fatigue. Need to unfuck some paperwork tomorrow pronto.

Yesterday - unfucked half the kitchen cupboard. I now know I do not need to buy tomato purée for at least a year. I also created an allergy-free shelf for DD2's stuff, so DH can be more able to give her snacks without checking with me all the time.

I also attempted some career-unfucking by sending out my CV.

Today - the rest of the kitchen cupboard, more CVs and unfucking the enormous pile of lemons from our tree into some lemon cordial and some marmalade.

Does anyone have trouble with actually taking a break during the 20/10 part? With the DC still on holidays I find that the 10 is usually spent clearing up or finding something and is never an actual break.

There will be vair little unfucking tomorrow. Taking DD to dentist, which involves going on a bus which doesn't always have a pushchair place (we are on a long rural route so it is usually a coach) with a 6 week old and 3 year old, then entertaining them in town for half an hour before the appointment and up to an hour afterwards. I wish I hadn't fucked my car- the parking brake cable snapped, so I didn't get winter tyres and now it is snowing

My 10s have recently been spent doing things like paying bills and making doctors appointments.

I generally start my 20s by making a cup of herbal tea and then it is cool enough to drink at the start of my 10.

crap day.
I gave up on housework today.

getting ill so slim chance of anything but rest tomorrow as well.

but I've been busy stitching so the quilted Christmas tree mat is now almost finished.

Morning all.

To be fair, the only thing stopping my house from being clean and tidy day to day is my own laziness. My kids are 3 and 6yrs and although they really do make a mess they are also capable of putting most of it away. I don't have any medical limitations, small babies or a full time job, so really I just need a hefty kick up the arse occasionally :o

Unfucking Friday

DD early to bed as stayed up late reading last night and she's exhausted

Ok so the only thing on my list that actually got done was something with the lemons. I made "real" lemonade with DD1. She's chuffed to bits and I got rid of half the lemons and then DH went out and picked more of the sodding things I hate to waste free fruit though so must get my thinking cap on.

I did start potty training DD2 today which was pretty time intensive (and head wrecking, DD1 was in creche full time at this age so we followed their method, DD2 is mainly at home so I have to figure it out myself )

Vvviola. Lemon curd. You must make lemon curd. I have taken DD to dentist. Now have appointment for her to get a filling. Roasting on the bus. 3 degrees and snow outside, 23 in the bus.
Today i may have to unfuck the snow in the gardeb into a snowman.

I have to iron and put away the clothes I washed and hung up yesterday. Make lunch. Nap.

Yes to lemon curd! I bloody love lemon curd.

I am also in potty training hell. DS is the most stubborn creature known to man and just not interested as soon as you let on that it is something you want him to do.

A few days with no unfucking and the house is chaos!

First task unfuck the kitchen fully before dd has her nap about 1030! Big task!

We're dairy & egg free when it comes to baking etc because of DD2's allergies, but I have seen a few vegan lemon curd recipes, so I may give it a try.

what do you use it for anyway

Minimal unfucking again today due to potty fighting training. But DD1's art table is partially done, so that's something.

Unfucked -

Pots
Bottles
Washing x3
Beds stripped
Washing put away
Bathroom cleaned
Bathroom swept and mopped

Unfucked yesterday- fuck all. Except the dessert buffet at brunch. I demolished that fucker. Today I have to take DH to the train station to go to Stockholm for a meeting tomorrow. So I have to do bedtime for 3 children alone. Even worse will be school run tomorrow. I need to get 3 kids ready by 7:30, scrape the ice and snow off the car (it is currently minus 12) drive 20 minutes to drop DS off, drive back home, drop DD off at chikdminders, then begin unfucking.

Brunch dessert buffet? Sounds amazing! DH and I were away over the weekend and the breakfast buffet was very, very nice. In fact I have withdrawal symptoms this morning. Toast just won't cut it when you've had posh muesli, berry compote, melon, a lemon and raisin pastry, a seeded flapjack, a mocha, orange juice, and brioche French toast, with bacon and maple syrup :o

Feeling pretty 'meh' today. Normally I love Mondays as Iget to go to the yard and ride in peace, guilt free. But my horse was such a tramp yesterday I have absolutely no inclination to ride it today! Got a fair bit of paperworkto sort out anyway, and coffee to drink and erm, important stuff :o

So, to Unfuck:
This motherfucking coffee
Paperwork (sob)
Make the sodding beds
The usual mundane shit - dishy, laundry etc.....

Surprisingly managed to get some unfucking done today despite the ongoing potty battle.

DD2's room unfucked (clothes sorted, last remaining winter stuff taken out of wardrobe, sheets changed, stuff for 2nd hand shop sorted)

Laundry unfucked to the extent that when I wanted to wash some of DD2's pants after accidents today I had to strip the bed to make a full load. As a result the laundry is now no longer unfucked

I just got confused vvviola We have just got proper snow, and you are putting away winter clothes. I'm not impressed with the snow- I need to use the car 3 times tomorrow, and don't really fancy scraping off snow and ice in minus 10 with 3 kids waiting. No unfucking today unless ypu count the 4 (4!) outfit changes due to baby thinking breast milk cottage cheese would be a nice addition to my outfit
