I have people coming for dinner tonight.... the house is a total tip, there is flour all over the floor coz I just made bread... and I'm "avoiding" in the biggest way possible..... nearly up to date with the washing (we found an uncharted mountain in KEVINs room last night) But CANNOT be buggered to get on with the cleaning...

Am I alone?

Or do other people sit here procrastinating instead of getting on with 'things' less interesting but essential

Turn off the lights & dont open the door to your guests tonight, then you dont have to clean the house & you can stay here longer to answer to everybody problems.

I'm sure OH will be thrilled at that suggestion.... its his friends from work who are descending upon us...

I've just tidied my wardrobe but need to dust, brush and mop :
Really can't be ar*ed!

eddie007

if you NEED to dust, brush and mop ... you can come here and do mine

I HATE housework, can't wait to get back to full time working!

Nope, you are not alone.

I should be studying for my final exam next week... oh well.

Hope that your evening goes ok.

I don't NEED to do it - in fact, stuff it, I'm not going to

I feel the start of TRUE gender liberation starting right here and now .... I wonder if a campaign to get women to Just Say No to Housework would take off...

I have procrastination down to a fine art and I have a cleaner

eddie007

My cleaner resigned... Gone to blow holes in the ground in the middle of nowhere for stupid money...

If she wanted desolation then she could have stayed here....

asher

she obviously felt you had given her the experience to cope

eddie007

asher

now this is something you can't procrastinate about get a new cleaner ASAP

and pray she never learns that you can get jobs with explosives for much better money

"Superwoman" - the Liberation Bible for women in the 70's - asked why on earth you would want to clean your house for a party when you'd only have to do it again after the event.
Good advice, which I've followed ever since without a twinge of conscience!

We just get the kids to do it, its character building not child labour!!!
