Telling it like it is...

Delaying the Dreaded Tasks

By 12 Comments

I have a habit of putting particular household tasks on the back burner. The main one or I should say the one that I see most often is the folding of clean clothes. Every time it piles up to extreme masses, taking up 5 washing baskets full minimum (no exaggeration) I kick myself and swear I won’t ever let it get that bad again.

And yet each and every time I let it happen over and over again. I get into the swing of it just after I have spent hours folding them all and stick with it for a week or so but then get slack and it all piles back up. Then I get to kick myself all over again.

 

It is at the point now where I am searching through the baskets to find underwear and the kids’ school socks. How did I let it get this bad? When did it get this bad? I swear only yesterday there was one basket that was barely full – I promise!

It’s just that I hate doing it – I would much prefer to be doing other things! Like cooking, reading or dare I say it cleaning the toilet! That is how much I hate having to fold the clothes.

Is there some secret way to keep motivated that I just don’t know about? Am I the only who can’t stand this chore? Or better yet, anyone want to come and do mine for me?

Liebster Award!

By Leave a Comment

It’s about time I got my big arse into gear and started sharing the award love around. I have received 3 Liebster Awards in the space of a month, ok maybe 2 tops. But as you know I have been a bit busy with holidays and all.
A big thanks goes to awardee #1- Liz from Bizzy Dayz,
Awardee #2- Cass from TheFlying Drunken Monkey and
Awardee #3- Mummy’s Miracles.  
Now that I’m getting back into my blogging routine it is the perfect time to share the new recipients of the Liebster Award. But first you may be asking what the hell is a Liebster?

Well…. I did some googling and it turns out that it is a way of sharing our favourite bloggers or more of a showcasing of our favourites that have less than 200 followers. It is a way of sharing them around with everyone else so we can all enjoy them. Upon accepting the award the recipient must pass it onto 5 more bloggers. It sounds pretty good doesn’t it!

So here are the rules for the Liebster Award!

*Copy and paste the award to your blog.

*The recipients must have fewer than 200 likers.

*Thank the person who gave it to them.

*Link back to the blogger who gave you the award.

*Present to 5 more blogs.

*Let them know you have awarded them.

The 5 bloggers I have chosen to pass the award onto are:

*MrsD’s Maunderings

*Drivelology

And that concludes my 5!!

I love them all for different reasons but every single one is worth a look at.

Wordless Wednesday – Cinderella

By 14 Comments

I feel like Cinderella – Well almost! 
The only only difference is I already have my prince and I had to find my own bloody shoes!
Finding the perfect shoes in the first shop for only

$25 = WINNING!

My last pair more or less spontaneously combusted and left me with nothing, they deserted me.

A big thanks goes to Sonia from Life Love and Hiccups for the Target gift card!

Do you love the new additions?
