What 'boring/stupid' adult things do you get excited about?

[Lsquiggles]

For example I bought a spray mop in the black Friday sales and I was so excited for it to arrive that I used it as soon as it was delivered on Saturday morning. Just used it again this morning and it brings me so much joy I don't know why

I really love it after doing a food shop and the cupboards have food in and its just a really pleasant feeling.
I love it when all my clothes are ironed (which is NEVER).

I got a cordless vacuum recently and I love the fact I can nip round and hoover so quickly and easily. I hoover a lot more because it's so satisfying.

I get excited putting my key in the front door and do a little excited "I own this house, this door is mine" dance in my head.

Doing a big shop and having the cupboards full of food.

My DD says you can tell you are old when you start to notice and admire trees. I love a beautiful tree, it brightens my day.

Bin day 😀

The Lakeland catalogue

Getting anything new for the kitchen
Putting the room back together after finishing the decorating
The feeling of satisfaction after deep cleaning the kitchen
Decluttering
Watching people unwrap presents I have bought them
Getting into bed with clean sheets after a shower
The smell of line dried washing

Washing on the clothes line on a sunny day. I can literally lose 10 minutes just watching the duvet cover waft in the breeze. WTF is that about 😬.

A night in on my own, like tonight, I am stupidly excited

I love using the steam mop. It just glides, no puddles, dries fast. Amazing.

Having a favourite tea and buying that one, not the one on offer. Also finding a decent decaf tea.

When get around to reorganising the books/dvds etc so they're all on the shelves properly and in order.

SandyClawsIsComingToTown Me too! We just did DC1's primary school application and I was disappointed how short it was.

The best form is the census one. I'm already excited for it in 2021

My new instant pot. I am ridiculously excited about it. Made spaghetti and meatballs in it last night as a trial run as it was great! I'm in love already.

Also with two young children, just any time I can have without them around. I love the bones of them but fantasise about going to the supermarket alone just for a break and a nice walk round at my leisure!

@DappledThings I like the census form as well. I remember learning about it in 1991, when I was in my last year of primary school. Ten years later (which feels like a long time when you're eleven years old), I got to fill in my own one!

I like sleep masks, especially the cute ones in Claire's Accessories; I have loads of them. We have a novel use for them: if I have one covering my eyes, I can be in the room while my DH wraps my presents: hearing him do this is another thing I get stupidly excited about. He usually makes me wear two or three of them, so he can be quite sure I can't see a thing!

You sad bastards. Don't you have proper lives?

I love doing the weekly shop (the horrific and time consuming life admin MN detests ) I have had to wean myself off my terrible online shopping habits and this is a good substitute. Every morning I add something to my basket and it pleases me, even if it's bread and milk )

DH loves folding washing. If I do the washing and hang it up, he comes along and re-folds/hangs it all - apparently his is The Correct Way I keep telling him MN will judge him controlling and advise me to get my ducks in a row.

😁 And he will reorganise your ducks, WeBuilt.

Finding a new Zoflora I like 🙈

Singing a really good piece in my choir concerts

My best night ever would be bath, new Pjs AND socks, then undisturbed fiddling on ancestry.com

I love getting new kitchen utensils.

Show me that shines new spatula

Clearing out, cleaning and organising the fridge. I should put it on my dating profile as a hobby the amount of time I spend doing it. Everything has a specific box//shelf/place.

It’s weird because I’m slovenly in all other aspects of my housework life, but the fridge!!

I like rearranging my bookshelves, by author then theme.

We're a dying breed us bibliophiles.

Buying some nice smelling floor wash for my new spray floor mop. I also bought the matching smelling worktop spray too.

And I LOVE using the squeegee after anyone's had a shower. So sparkly!!

Love a food shop. Seeing all the food makes me do a happy dance after years of scrimping.

New socks and fresh sheets.

Wine.
Black bin day.
Booking a holiday.

My shark Hoover, I love him.

I like cleaning windows.

I love cleaning the cooker and dread it getting dirty.

I just like cleaning in general!
