A nap?

In this house?

No chance

buildingmycorestrength · 08/09/2013 11:49

Am trying to unfuck the fucking shitting hallway and have got a bit overwhelmed.

So I'm having a FUCKING SIT DOWN, DEAL WITH IT.

(Am talking to my inner slave driver, not you lot, obv.)

Ahhhh, that's better. Tea.

ZingWantsCake · 08/09/2013 11:56

katy from what I gather the motto is the sweary version of the Nike slogan:

Just FUCKING Do It! Grin

Mumof3xx · 08/09/2013 12:06

Done

Kids fed
More pots washed
Kids beds stripped and in wash

GiraffesAndButterflies · 08/09/2013 12:10

Dishwasher unloaded
Towels in washing machine
Can't get baby to nap so I'm now on shush-pat with one hand and MN with the other... This better bloody not count as my break Hmm

Zing Grin

So far I have done two lots of laundry, the dishwasher and tidied up the ummentionable corner of the lounge that always seems to be a mess. No sign of Lord Lucan there though....

GibberTheMonkey · 08/09/2013 12:26

I have done fuck all today.
I may go and grab a shower (unfuck myself just sounds wrong) and see if I feel more motivated after

I think that we do need an equivalent of 'unfucking ourselves' though as it is jolly hard work in my case.

Unscumming?

Some more fucking suggestions please. Grin

BeginnerSAHM · 08/09/2013 12:56

Wow!! So THIS is how to motivate me to sort my shit out. Brilliant. Kept trying flylady but ended up wanting to stab my eyes out instead of reading the her patronising/sexist/just-plain-fucking-annoying mantras.

Marking my fucking place too Wink!

BeaWheesht · 08/09/2013 14:23

Hey I'm joining in.

Playroom, living room and dining room are entirely unfucked. Probably for the first time in 7 years!!!

Kitchen is still a bit fucked but am utterly shattered and dd is unwell so it'll have to wait for another day.

GibberTheMonkey · 08/09/2013 14:47

I don't think some people's places can be as fucked as mine if they can be unfucked again so quickly

Daughter's room partially unfucked.

She helped by testing felt tips and chucking out the ones that don't work. I couldn't quite bring myself to swear happily at her. Grin.

NotCitrus · 08/09/2013 14:49

At last, site that acknowledges disability and fatigue! Managed to stop faffing about reading it and unfucked about half of the top of my dressing table. My problem is I'm 3 rooms down while builders are in, and dd has learnt to climb and there are not enough high shelves anywhere.
Plan for when I get home: get all party bag shit into one place and put into party bags for this weekend or in the bin!

NotCitrus · 08/09/2013 14:52

My kitchen is totally unfucked but that's because it was knocked down recently so every last thing removed. Bag of weird food we"ll never eat went on Freecycle, plus 2 sets of pans, bin, water filter, and few other bits of crap. Charity shop got some too.

Demolishing your house is a bit drastic though! :)

buildingmycorestrength · 08/09/2013 14:52

Not I was also almost weeping with relief when I saw the disclaimers about disability and fatigue. So so important. If you don't know about the 'spoons' thread in general health do join us.

NotCitrus · 08/09/2013 14:59

Building - I posted on the spoons thread onc e near the start but it's a bit of a downer... I do need to get and fill out PIP forms though so may be looking for support soon.

elQuintoConyo · 08/09/2013 17:33

Oh great, a real fucking cleaning/tidying/chucking website for bloody adults Grin
Flylady was tweer that Jane Austen's petticoat, it drove me nuts.
So far this afternoon:
21mo DS has just cleaned the dining table and the stairs (tiled) with wet wipes.
He stood on a chair and played with cars on the kitchen counter while I sorted out:
Tupperware cupboard, including about 7 empty ice cream tubs!
Spare change box; have accumulated so many bronze coins, finally went to the bank and got 1/2/5p bags - we have £27! Wtaf? May open a university savings account for DS or more than likely fill the car with petrol
Sorted out boxes for: crayons, string, batteries, post-its,glues, sellotape and LABELLED them all. Get me!
Done a monster washing up.
Took DS for a five-minute swing in the park as, as soon as we left the garden, it started thundering! Poor bugger.

I now have a cup of tea, four squares of Milka chocoswing cookie and Tabatha's Salon Takeover Grin

Mumof3xx · 08/09/2013 17:35

Went abit lazy after my last post but now pulling my bloody finger out

Kids tea in oven
Washer on (again)

About too-
Wash pots (again)
Empty bin
Iron uniforms

Mumof3xx · 08/09/2013 20:07

Pots done

Given up

Realised there is already enough ironed uniform and if I go to bed now I don't have to see the bin til morning when I will stop being a lazy bitch and empty it

elQuintoConyo · 08/09/2013 21:45

Tidied bookcase (a 4x4 Ikea Expedit, so no small task!)
Chucked l-o-a-d-s of crap I've been hoarding: hairbobbles... i have a BOB!
Made dinner, washed it all up, prepared DS for bed.
Whatsapped a friend abroad for about an hour Grin

Now waiting for DS to decide it's bedtime so I can watch Zoolander!

Lurleene · 08/09/2013 22:21

I got my fucking drain rods out and unblocked the outside kitchen drain. It stank! But at least water won't piss all over the garden every time I turn the tap on.

ZingWantsCake · 08/09/2013 22:22

got a fucking cold.

fuck!

poachedeggs · 08/09/2013 22:30

I possibly took this too far tonight. I fell out with DH by stropping about how I have to do all the fucking unfucking round here. Never mind!

FishfingersAreOK · 08/09/2013 22:47

Oooo.....I just got told off on another thread for being sweary....I think I may come any play here instead. Website looks interesting. Can I MN whilst on my 10 mins do you think?

elQuintoConyo · 08/09/2013 22:57

You are fucking welcome here any day FishFingers Grin

Now, what buggery bollocks cleaning/tidying/putting away have you done with your sorry arse today?
