They'll be nicely aired! I often have to re wash clothes when I've forgotten and left them in the machine.

- We often run out of plates and cutlery.
- We hoover when you see a clear difference between before and after.
- I do not wash bed sheets ones a week.
- I can not remember when I last washed the house windows.
- The swimming stuff is discovered at the moment we need it, a week later , still in the bag!
Now I stop, this is part of keeping up appearances

Glad it's not just me! Just off to empty the mile high paper bins dotted round the house.

Found swimming stuff in swimming bags used on holiday two months after we came back from holiday!
I have too many other confessions to report but I have a cleaner (my only treat foe me in life) who comes weekly who takes care of most of the things I would otherwise confess. found her in the kitchen cupboard one day throwing out food that was over a year out of date......... But never come round if cleaner is on holiday!

I fished wolfboys judo kit out of the washing basket (from the week before) for him to wear. It was fine......

I feel we are always 2 steps away from our house imploding... Like sooz I often forget to take the washing out and wash it again, it rarely makes it back to the wardrobes and I often dress the kids straight from the laundry pile..

More like laundry mountains here!! Putting away clean laundry is always on the bottom of my mental to do list. So relieved it's not just me!

I had to pick lots of little specs of white paper off my work uniform yesterday as SOMEONE left a tissue in their trouser pocket when they put them in the wash!

Judo kit was washed and clean and in its bag (not ironed cos that would be silly for something he just rolls around a room in). Typically he didn't go to judo this week....

Redoing washing common here - but it was even before Sqk came. Ironing is something I only do when I must. Other than study house is relatively tidy - but that is DH not me as I am not a tidy person by nature. Just grateful we have cleaners which takes away one stress. One thing I am fairly good about is washing up stuff that can't go in dishwasher - but that is because kitchen & bathroom are two places in house I like to keep clean.

Has anyone seen DD Benny's goggles? (Or mine for that matter):eek:
Our bedroom is the last ditch holding bay for everything that cannot find its place elsewhere in the home. So while the rest of the house may look passable, I wake in a pigsty. DD asked very critically, when looking for said goggles if I had looked EVERYWHERE in my room for them...cheeky!

I cant' even get into bed tonight until the washing explosion is sorted. It would probably be wise to put it away. I will probably put it back in the 'bag of clothes waiting to be put away bag'. I am a rubbish housewife!

I don't iron... Ever. I recently had to iron a transfer onto a t shirt, I discovered our iron hadn't been used for so long it had stopped working, so I bought another. Then discovered that the first wasn't broken, I just didn't know how to use it. Now we have two irons we never use in the under the stairs cupboard!

I also NEVER iron..poor Mr M ever since we were first married has ironed his own shirts..I just about manage to hang kids school stuff up on coat hangers when they are damp to avoid creases... so lapwing wore odd socks today...I laughed and said it was 'fun'...it was fun...!

No comment, would not know where to start. Seems like we are all rather proud of the fact that we no longer care. It certainly keeps our stress levels down. ;-)

Clearing up is vastly overrated. I'd baked some lemon puddings on Saturday. I made some syrup (sugar and water) and I was going to add some lemon juice before drizzling it over the puddings. I left it to cool first. When I went back, someone had washed up the saucepan!

momentarily stunned into rapturous imaginings of lemon puddings with or without syrup...

But do you remember how much cleaning we did during home study.........

At least 25 I'd say.

Oh, I LOVE this thread!
So, I'm not alone. People round here are a bit stepford-wife-ish! Makes me feel a bit ashamed of the dust balls in the corner.
I don't iron. I clean when the dirt gets me down (would more often but I somehow always have something else to do!).....

I work on the basis if the kitchen and bathroom are free of bio hazards, a bit of dust never did anyone any harm but do Hoover because of the cat.

I work on that ethos too! I must confess, that I have many many drawers so full of carp that you cannot open them! What is in them, I really couldn't say.....probably everything I want to hide so a room looks tidier than it is!

You know how people have a cupboard when they open the door a mountain of stuff falls out
Well, I have a room like that

Post by mudlark on Oct 6, 2014 21:13:35 GMT
I have to do this when Mr M is at work (as he is a bit of a hoarder) I take a load of the carp that's in those drawers, clothes that are getting on my nerves for hanging around for too long, bundle it all up and take it all to the charity shop and dump it....I feel really good afterwards.. I recommend it..it's liberating!
