1st day back at school- clean or rest?

[Aroundtheworldin80moves]

My dilemma... should I spend tomorrow blitzing the house or putting my feet up. 6.5hrs of no one around...

REST!!!!

I am obviously polishing my front door today ready for tomorrow

I normally work Thursdays but booked today off so plan is to do most the cleaning today and then gym/shopping chill tomorrow.

Rest 100%

Definitely rest! No question.

If you're like me you will get bored after 4 or 5 hours and you might fell like putting stuff in the dishwasher and a bit of light dusting before they get home again.

Super fast clean first thing then the rest of the day to rest. (Unless your plans are scuppered like mine were a few years ago when I literally just sat down and had a call from school to say dc needed collecting due to a playground injury 🙄).

About an hour of cleaning because you'll be annoyed sitting looking at a complete hovel then 5 hours of lovely lovely rest.

Mines are back today. Ive slept for an hour already. 😁

School days nearly done but I would have cleaned with gusto and then had a load of downtime to look forward to rather than resting knowing I still had stuff to do.

Rest. My DD and DS returned to school on Tuesday and I just relaxed all day. My eldest DD returned today and I've got stuck into cleaning the house.

I've done a ninja clean.. ie dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer.
I've spent the rest of the day doing bog all. (Trying to convince my other half that we should go for lunch.!) It's been 6 weeks of full on child/working here. I NEED to rest!

I'm making sure the house looks generally clean and tidy tonight then in the morning when dc leave I'll spend five mins picking up nightwear and moving breakfast pots then I'm dedicating the rest of the 6.5 hours to ME! ( Already bought a face pack, chocolate and a new book to celebrate).

I work PT and Friday is my day to change the beds. That’s the only housework I’m doing.

After planning a 90 minute blitz then putting my feet up... DH calls and let's me know he's finished work early and will be home by midday tomorrow.
Maybe I can send him to the supermarket in the afternoon...

1st day back tomorrow for our DC as well so I am cleaning tonight once she's in bed and then tomorrow will be spent catching up on some tv followed by a leisurely lunch and grabbing the last few bits we need for her big brothers birthday which is in 3 days.

I’d have spent the morning cleaning and tidying and the afternoon with my feet up and a good book in hand.
Sadly I went back to school today and it was my children who were chilling out at home

Rest.

First day back is always see them off (secondary age) then make fresh pot of coffee and drink all of it with newspaper/t'internet (outdoors if fine) then frivol the day away (often gardening, or just snuggling up with a good book)

First day for me will be resting. Tidying and cleaning will be the second day.

I'd have an hours so's blitz first thing and then the day to myself whilst still feeling satisfied that things have been done

I did a shop first thing, came home put that away, put washer on, dishwasher on, quick hoover, mop, wipe bathroom.
On the sofa at 12.30 watched TV until 3pm.
