Who else is sat on here avoiding the mess the kids have made that you should have tidied hours ago?

[LoveMyGirls]

Just me then?

Me too

I've tidied up already.
[smug]

Runs away before being hit by flying toy...

me too - but in my defence only DS2 has gone to bed (demanded an early night when I wouldn't let him "nap" at 7pm) DS3 and 1 are still up.

I am avoiding the mess that I have made. Toys so much easier to pack away than unpaid bills and dirty dishes

I have done downstairs just upstairs to do

I've tidied and dh is making dinner.... sorry

yes, got dishes to do and front room to tidy. Can't face it !!!!!

Have tidied - ds's in bed - dp still at work so all is lovely and peaceful.

The cleaner was in today, I live in a palace.

Now 24 hours on will be a different story.

I'm usually good but today I just can't get motivated, I feel so tired, I havent even had my dinner yet (jacket potato that's been in the oven since 4.30) maybe if i eat that it will give me energy to tidy up then you can all join me (those who haven't already!) what do you think? 8.15 we'll all spend 15mins whizzing around?

Started to 'sort' playroom, problem is only started so looks liks bombs hit it.

In my defence though spent most of the day glossing the new nursery

ok I now have no excuse - DS2 and 3 now in bed. DS1 sat on the sofa watching Celebrity Masterchef - no reason I can't be picking up the chips, toys, clothes and everything else from the floor and tidying up in general/........

ok but can you wait for me FAQ? I'm just eating my dinner then I will be running round like a blue arsed fly so I can sit back down again!

Not me [smug emoticon]

My cleaner came today!

ok LMG - sounds like a plan - I'll wait for you to eat your dinner - run round like a blue arsed fly with you, and then potter around doing general stuff once we've both finished the blue arsed fly bit

Me

DS has festooned the living room carpet with many jigsaws which I will have to separate and then put in their boxes

Now that the kids are on their school holidays, I'm trying to decide whether it's actually worth tidying up every day - or just give in to the inevitable mess and chaos, and deal with it when they go back.

Right I'm ready!

Ready steady go...................................................... meet me back here at 8.50!

ok

ok - lounge part of the lounge diner is tidy and hoovered, I've also made a start on the junk dining table and cleared/cleaned the computer desk (which is half way point)

done!

I was a little late BUT I have totally cleaned up inc hoovering and mopping the floor, i'm sweating now! It's that tidy now I'd even let a mnetter inspect it Thanks for helping me FAQ, win win situation!!
