I wasn't but that was how I felt. Now I realise that what I actually was was the 'don't care about co-ordinating cushions' relation. With a bit of 'hate shopping,' and 'how much do they want for one cushion?' thrown in.
I was pondering these things today as I finally did a bit of cleaning. More of a lick and a promise than a 'scrub the corners clean' but again while doing it I had a significant thought: nobody has died because of my cooking or lack of cleaning. At least not that I know of. I feel that is worth boasting about.

THAT'S the way to look on the bright side! lol
Coordinated pillows and furniture is over rated and probably started by the home furnishing industry. I also hate shopping for most everything. I posted once about my confusion/misunderstanding of pillows. If you are interested here's a link

You had me at the below symbol of the leek.
I'm here thanks to Debra.
Cheers.
I get that.
Martha Stewart and her contemporaries are responsible for these inferior feelings for me. So much pressure to be more, do more, have more. Ugh! I refuse to feed it anymore and I worship my dust bunnies as my god of fighting back.
May I please join your "I don't really care & I've not killed anyone AFAIK" club? I'm not a zillionaire, but I'm far from being as poor as we were when I was a kid. So, why is some of my furniture handed down from my grandmother? (I like those chairs. Why should I replace them?) Hunky Husband says he knows when we are expecting company because that is when I ask him to run the vacuum over the carpeting (which, ostensibly, is on his weekly to-do list!) My mother always said that a dust rag didn't fit her hand!

P.S. Just as I frequently reminded others, professionally, "Just because we can do something doesn't mean that it should be done" applies to work in the household, too. Our library put out bookmarks that say, "Reading won't solve all of your problems, but neither will housework!"

Hate-shopping. I feel like that at Christmas sometimes, buying stuff for people who like the most awful things. I feel I ought to give it to them though.
You can't prove that!
Nobody has died here either despite our perfunctory domestic routines. Well, I suppose Mr and Mrs Perfect died a very long time ago, to be replaced by Mr and Ms How-little-can-I-get-away-with.....
I've produced some fairly dire meals over the years, but I don't think anyone's actually croaked it. Well, I'm fairly sure, anyway...
you have wonderful blog my friend!
here to congratulate you for foil hat award from dear Debra's place
The only way, Debra.
Industry and marketing have a lot to answer for, Bill.
Thanks, Rawknrobyn.
Have you watched Marie Kondo, Linda? I think that's her name. The latest.
CopCar, I have a card stuck up on my wall and it says, 'Cleaning? I sweep the room with a glance.'
Jenny, if only we were brave enough to suggest not giving presents!
Innocent until proven guilty, stu.
Cleanliness is highly over-rated, Nick.
Like me, Sonata, you're innocent until proven guilty.
Thank you, Baili.
