"Slatterns fulfil a socially useful role: they allow others to feel superior, even other slatterns."

[wastingaway]

Welcome to the slatterns thread, where everyone is welcome to share their lists, get motivated and share tips.

I thought I would rewrite Alices list just for fun and to make you laugh:
Keep some potatoes on sofa done
Take feet out of oven 3.30pm done
Put in at some point done
Keep putting telly programs on for chiken done

Freakoid -from a few posts ago when we were talking about spring cleaning. On that website it said about pulling furniture out and cleaning behind, doing skirtings etc. If you are doing a spring clean its usually a couple of times a year. Dusting the lounge is usually a surfaces only job unless you are feeling keen. However, I have discovered mould on the wall in the spare room by pulling out the furniture so it is worth doing fairly often before the rot sets in.

Hope everyone else is ok.

Have finally got a bit of peace to do something as DD having a kip. Must crack on..

Hi everyone, just popped on to wave and see what you are all up to, but too knackered to even write list. its been a very long day. Think glass of wine and feet up then gaga in front of telly, Not that Ga Ga, far too much energy? Cheers everybody.

Today I went to a MN flash febreze event thingy, have a bad headache now tho. Bonus was my friend picked dd up from preschool and when I went to collect her she invited us to dinner so I have had a completely free day

Great thread. I'm lazy and unmotivated so it might help me. Something has to...
To do: hang laundry, wash dishes, get kids to prep stuff for tomorrow.
Will come back when it's done, God willing.

Evening!

Welcome Just13, come back even if you don't get it finished! That's why we call ourselves slatterns.
