Yesterday was a massive unfuck! Did an imperial fuckton of unfucking (as imperial is bigger than metric). I
*went to IKEA and bought a cot, a high chair and a coat rack to be a towel stand for the downstairs shower. WITH A BABY
*went and picked up strawberry jam (yuck) and a phone for the inlaws)
*assembled all my IKEA purchases
*fed the family
*did a load of washing

I am refusing to do extra unfucking just because in-laws have invited themselves to our house.

Today I have
kissed the baby
tickled the baby
eaten lunch
drank way too much coffee.

I will do some washing and umm, yeah, that's it.

AdoraBell · 09/04/2014 14:26

Loki I do hope the washing isn't going to eat into baby kissing and tickling time.

Not a lot done the last few days but today will be impressive Grin, there's laundry to be done, beds to strip, kitchen to sort, towels from yesterday's washing to be put away, dusting and finally vacuuming. That's inside. Dog pen needs a good old soaking with disinfectant and the dogs really could do with a shower but that may be delayed until tomorrow.

I'll get cracking after I've had another cuppa. I may actually get to the equestrian centre later too, maybe.

AdoraBell · 10/04/2014 16:33

So Loki, how's the catering going?

I found I couldn't vacuum upstairs yesterday as it's knee deep in DD's fucking detritus. Again.

This morning I have unfucked the following

Scoured the house for socks, not something I normally do but needed enough to make it worth running the washing machine.

Washed socks and undies
Dishy emtpied and reloaded with hob rack things.
Hob thoroughly cleaned and degreased
Caught up on MN and eaten a fried egg in toast for brekkies

Later I need to unfuck getting 5 cacti over to a friend's, handwash my delicates, stitch a few buttons on and do a meal plan for next week.

Disclaimer, detritus may not actually knee deep, and it's 95% DD1's. DD2 is still a neat freak, but she's not 13 yet, there's still time for her to metemorphosise in a Kevlara.

AdoraBell · 12/04/2014 03:32

Sofa's clean Grin

Also unfucked today,

Washing, DD2 put it on, I put it out and brought it back in
My hand washing
Taxi service for DDs
Dogs dealt with
Friend's cacti put in the garage to stop dogs destroying them, will deliver tomorrow.
Stitched buttons on 2 shirts of mine, few more to go.
Just put dishy on

Still fucked, equestrian centre, Pilates, ironing, DD1's tidying up, their laundry.

Mumof3xox · 25/06/2014 10:10

I neeeeeed this fucking thread back!

Anyone else

13loki · 03/07/2014 23:51

Shit. No wonder my habitat is fucked. April! Well, I am back from Orlando, DC and NYC and ready to sleep start unfucking.

AdoraBell · 06/07/2014 03:04

You dropped off my threads listShock

Gotta do some unfucking tomoz, DDs had a sleepover last night and we've been out today.

Tomorrow's unfucking list is like this,

Laundry
Vacuum & dust , yep the dusting really needs doing
Nuke kitchen and my bathroom, bloody ants have infiltrated again as t'is turned cold out
Wash dogs if it's warm enough out, full sun forecast but unly 16 degrees C
General food and shit like that.

Hope you had a great time Loki

Mumof3xox · 06/07/2014 07:27

Yay
Let's unfuck!

AdoraBell · 06/07/2014 23:37

Unfucked so far, all the washing, 4 loads plus two lots of hand washing. Most still slightly damp so arranged around the house finishing off.

Meal planned for the coming week
Sorted DD2's feet out, she keeps cutting toe nails too short and getting ingrown nails, needed anti-biotics a few months ago.
Harried both to tidy their bloody rooms upAngry

DH has unfacked such things as gutters, camping gear I fucking hate camping trellis and other things out there. I've left him to feed the dogs coz I've done it all bloody week.

Now I need to unfuck dinner and pack leftovers for packed lunches, sandwiches are done for DDs' snacks.

Tomorrow I plan to unfuck picking the lavender we have and making lavender oil and water. Never done it before but that YouTube thingy assures me it's easy.

Mumof3xox · 07/07/2014 07:54

Unfucked

Kids all up fed and dressed
Last nights pot
This mornings pots
Bin emptied
Recycling out
Work tops wiped
Kitchen swept
Sink cleaned

13loki · 07/07/2014 18:42

The big garden is unfucked. I thought the washing from nearly 4 weeks away was unfucked, but DH hadn't finished unpacking it! All the wild strawberries between my house and the lake have been unfucked into DDs tummy.

I still need a chest of drawers for my bedroom. Sending DH back to IKEA to procure some. Just got a filing cabinet, so tomorrow will be unfucking paperwork (2 years worth).

Holiday was lovely. My parents paid for me and my sisters and all our families to fly to the US and stay in Florida for a week and a half together. They all met the baby.

Mumof3xox · 07/07/2014 18:53

That sounds a lovely holiday! How old is baby?

13loki · 09/07/2014 09:14

She's 7 months now. After Florida DH and I took our kids to DC then New York, where we met up with my family again for a picnic in Central Park. We also met up with DSs best friend who moved back to NY last year.

Off today to look at inset fireplaces to replace our broken one before winter. And buy yet another baby gate as DD has discovered she can remove the edging on the hallway floor.

AdoraBell · 10/07/2014 00:38

Pesky little geniuses, ain't they Loki? Glad you had such a lovely time on hols.

Today's unfucking doesn't amount to much.

Family fed and kicked out for school/work,
Showered in peace and washed my hair, even took time to dry it
Wasted time on YouTube
Test drove a car to give DH my seal of approval, his need not mine
Had a lovely lunch with DH
Swung by school to collect DDs
Vacuumed muddy paw prints off carpet
Fed dogs
Quick clear up and dishwasher on
Currently waiting for DDs' dinner to bake, stuffed peppers, DH and I only need a sarnie each.

Tomorrow I need to crack on before the dust builds upHmm

AdoraBell · 11/07/2014 18:02

Vacuuming done, more fuckimg laundry yesterday, dishwaher and breakfast things done, school library books taken to school because DDs forgot themHmm

School winter hols start in 25 minutes.

I may be some time.

BOFster · 11/07/2014 18:38

I notice I was on this thread last year Grin. That would explain a lot...

Must start this again...

13loki · 11/07/2014 22:10

I put some washing on today. It is in the machine. I should go put it in the dryer, but it is downstairs.

AdoraBell · 12/07/2014 23:49

Mumof3xox · 19/07/2014 07:17
