Batch cooking has really changed my life and I found a great way recently on MN for listing them on the freezer door. Manic week this week and we’ve had a batch cooked meal with some added green veg every night. I peel and chop parsnips and celeriac and freeze without blanching for a speedy start to roast dinners, I par boil them longer and bung the spuds in about half way through.
three dirty washing baskets, lights and whites, darks, and my dresses and tights in another. A small bin by my bed, take off clothes and empty pockets, turn right way, tights get turned right way and put into a zip net bag. empty hangers removed to a free standing clothes rail in back bedroom. I hang all my wet washing on a hanger (either on rail to dry indoors on hang on line outside so putting away when dry is really quick, I rarely iron and if I do I iron at the time it’s needed, no more horrendous iron piles).
but my total best ever purchase was a robo hoover that also mops. We have mainly tiles and wooden floors. I set it going and then go do other things, keep an eye on how it’s going via its app often whilst putting my feet up having a coffee and reading mn.
love my label maker, my fridge has a pull out shelf and I’ve got all the jars on it and I’ve labelled the lids of jams and sauces etc. I also labelled ALL my chargers and the ones not used lots live in a basket under my bed.
I change my toothbrush head on 1st of the month and water my succulents the same day.
inside my largest food cupboard I write a two week menu plan straight onto the the back of the door, it’s like a whiteboard, and I use whiteboard pens, cleans off perfectly with a bleach spray.
love Libby for books and magazines. Any paperbacks are given away as soon as I’ve read them.
our loft is next, so will be using lots of tips on this post for that huge job.
