I would usually put the dishwasher on, tidy up the kitchen and wipe around the kitchen surfaces. We eat early so that’s done by 7pm ish. Quick tidy of the bathroom if it needs it and dirty clothes in the wash ready to go on in the morning. If it’s bin day, I put all the recycling out ready for the morning. Otherwise that’s it!
I get really bored in the evenings but I couldn’t bring myself to mop a floor or or tidy a cupboard or anything else at all.
I expect some people in big families still keep going in to the evening to get everything done but I don’t have packed lunches or school uniforms any more and it makes a big difference!
