Pro - Does anyone else's nest boxes get soaked in rain?

[Alis girls]

I mean personal mess - today making a lasagne and broke a piece of the lasagne and a bit pinged down my bra YS's birthday and had made some mini Oreo cheesecakes and getting them out of their case and some landed in my hair I have in the past used jet wash to clean Eglu and ended up with chicken poo in my hair. I seem to be a walking disaster and muck magnet. Both my lads were the same as toddlers - better now except when doing sport which you expect. Anyone else like me or are you all pristine clean looking gals.

I am messy. I take a lot of care with myself generally. I've always looked after the health of my skin and hair and now I spend a lot of time on fitness. But I DON'T care about being perfectly turned out. People who always look totally perfect also look a little strange to me.

I like to stay in posh hotels but if I feel like carrying my luggage in a carrier bag then I will. I don't need matching this and that.

I had an allotment for a while and went to the supermarket on the way home once. I forgot that I had tied my hair in a knot because it kept falling in my eyes. My wellies were muddy and when I got home I saw my face was bright red and mucky. I asked OH why he didn't say and he just gave me a kiss and said that's how he likes his women.

Enjoy your natural self - who wants to look like a weird plastic mannequin?

[Alis girls]

Oh good glad its not just me. I have asked OH many times "have I still got, poo/cake mixture/ (choose option) in my hair" and he says "no why do you want it in your hair?" He doesnt appear to mind a messy missus either - I do scrub up well when needs must. Last years flu clinic at work my HCA stopped me and removed bits of cotton wool from my hair looked at me an giggled. Goodness knows what the patients think the more fraught the messier I get.

As someone who has been painting and sanding down my bedroom all day, I can honestly say that yes I am very messy. I had paint in my hair and some had gone through the thin top I was wearing and my hands were plastered in it. In my defence I was painting a large ceiling

 

My OH is even worse, never happier than when he is covered in good honest filth having said that his personal hegiene is top notch

[Valkyrie]

That is my middle name! It's a bit frustrating for OH who is a bit OCD. Life for him is so awful as not only am I messy, but DD is even worse. In fact she is soooo messy that the Disney tv programme awarded her for having the messiest bedroom in Europe. OH was rather upset that they didn't send a cleaner, but they sent her a bumper pack of goodies - backpack, wind up mobile charger, a sun visor, stickers, and more besides - I forget so much now but it was like opening up Mary Poppins bag!

The pair of us are quite accident prone and yes, I've painted a door thinking I won't get messy in my new trousers. Sat down on the upturned paint lid didn't I! Ooooh too many things.

[Chickabee]

I'm quite messy. I've just had a new hair cut which I love because it's messy on purpose, but I'm cack handed than anything. If there's a wrong way to do something I'll do it. I get zips stuck, tie things back to front. I've been riding for 20 years, but can still manage to tack up wrong. I groomed the wrong horse recently. I'm also very accident prone, I trip up and walk into things all the time. I have many bruises to prove it. Fell off my horse as soon as I got on a couple of months ago. Hadn't done the girth up

[Chickabee]

Oo have any of you put the day befores trousers on only to find out later that yesterday's knickers are stuffed down the leg. I have, more than once

[Dolly]

But I bet you didn't do what my mother in law did, she was getting her buffet breakfast in a hotel and had to go back to retrieve hers off the floor!!

[Olly]

How awful for her!

 

I don't do that because despite being quite messy in other ways, I do always put my clothes away at the end of the day. I have got a bad track record on getting myself dressed properly though. I'm not sure which was worse - the day I realised my swimsuit was on inside out - once I was in the pool - or going for a cocktail in Saks Fifth Avenue, New York with my friend, taking my jacket off, and having her hiss 'your jumper is on inside out!'

[Groovychook]

Oh my goodness... I have done that and had to carefully retrieve them from the bottom of my trouser leg whilst walking through the middle of Cheltenham on the way to the work

Many moons ago but still makes me cringe with embarrassment at the memory!

[Chickabee]

this has turned into a very funny post. Love it

[Daphne]

Great reads, especially the bit about getting on the wrong horse - makes me smile every time I think about it

 

I am very messy - have done the knicker down the trouser thing, regularly have clothing on inside out (I even have a jumper with the seams on the outside on purpose to help minimise my stupidity ....) and I have a bra which undoes itself so there is a strap hanging out of a T shirt, but my special effect is with toothpaste. I used to have a 2 hour commute each way every day which meant leaving at 7am and getting home at 7pm. Once I came home with toothpaste still somewhere on my face (why don't people tell you ) and as well as routinely getting it on towels, I have also managed to get toothpaste on the bedroom curtain.....

[Alis girls]

My son does the pants down trouser leg one - one day I will see how far he gets to school before he sees yesterdays pant peeking out the bottom.

[chickencam]

I have pain across my whole fringe today

[Chickabee]

Do you mean paint? Or have you got a headache

[merlina]

Ah, I'm enjoying reading this - it's not just me then!

 

I recently went to visit a friend in hospital - with two heated rollers still stuck on the top of my head. My friend thought I'd done it on purpose to give her a giggle

 

And then there was the meeting with all the top brass present where, in a quiet moment I found myself idly wondering why the (long) size/care label on my shirt was flapping about on the outside of the garment....

Arriving at work in odd shoes or the things I bumble around the house in has become so common I keep at least 2 pairs of office shoes in the car

 

I can't walk around the house/anywhere without bumping into things/getting clothes caught on door handles/tripping over everything and nothing.

 

I can't eat 99% of things without making a mess no matter how careful I am. And I've never worked out how not to have food stuck around one's teeth in an unattractive way mid-meal - so eating out on a date is out

[Valkyrie]

We have my son (then about 9) on holiday somewhere in the Dinosaur Provincial Park on film, wandering along in front of us and . . . what's wrong with your leg? He looked down and grabbed the article out and said quite happily "it's my PANTS!!!!" - laughed our heads off. Luckily I haven't done that.

 

When I was younger and we were staying at my grandparents, the idea was to go early to Pompey to have a wander around HMS Victory. Now I'd been spending all my days running around their garden without shoes. Got to Portsmouth and oops, got in the car without them. Dad was soooo cross! He and mum had to go and search for some footwear and they came back with flip flops.

 

Yes - I've tried to mount a horse without the girth tightened. And I've fallen off more times than I've galloped! Including having one leg stuck in a stirrup being dragged through cow poo (luckily it was old and dry)! Since I am a mere mortal, horse riding was stopped before I did myself a mischief!

[The Dogmother]

loving this!

 

I am naturally messy, but not untidy if that makes sense; I have to be tidy and well presented for work, but my natural state is jeans, scruffy top and filthy yard boots... do get some funny looks when I stop off at the shops like that though.

 

I am quite good at shaking out and folding clothes which I've take off, only because I can't stand not being able to find things when I need them.

 

Rosie is unbelievable untidy

[Alis girls]

I do tend to collect things in my bra several butterflys from the back of earrings have found their way in - great for catching broken necklaces - I'm not well endowed so god help me if I was of Jordan proportions. I never stuff money there like some women as I think its unhygienic - silly really having posted about poohey hair. But I have my standards.

[chickencam]

I have pain across my whole fringe today

 

I did mean paint

 

Been at work all day so not too bad so far but the undercoat is coming out as soon as I have tipped my stir fry down my front

[Chickabee]

Took the dogs out for their usual run this morning, put my jacket on as the weather has got a bit cooler. My friends dog ran up to me for a cuddle. I bent down and thought, I don't remember putting a scarf on. It was my sons boxer shorts the were stuck to the Velcro on my hood

[Daphne]

so far I have to say, you take first prize it's keeping me very entertained, thank you

[Alis girls]

Hope they were clean.

[Chickabee]

yes they were. The jacket had just come out of the wash. Imagine a 16 year olds dirty underpants hanging round your neck. Yuk

[mullethunter]

I don't know about messy, but there was a quiz in The Mirror today to find out whether you were a clean freak or a mucky pup. The lowest score on their scale was 15 (to be the worst kind of mucky pup) and I got 13
