I’ve put the dishwasher on and made my bed. Put some clothes in the washing machine ready to wash later. That’s it! I’m really bored so if I was in the mood I could get a few more things done but I have no inclination at the moment. What have you done so far today?

Hoovered whole house
Dusted living room (kids helped there)
Given kitchen, toilet and bathroom quick wipe over

I'd usually spread this over the weekend but am busy tomorrow.

Apart from seeing to the animals, nothing.

Waitingfordoggo · 09/03/2024 12:44

I went to work for a couple of hours first thing. Got back about an hour ago and have wiped round the kitchen, swept the floor and put some washing on. Now a man has come to clean my oven (first time I’ve ever outsourced this job) and I’m so embarrassed that I’ve gone upstairs to hide 😂 While I’m up here, I’m going to change my bedding, hoover bedroom and hall, quick bathroom clean and then sweep the stairs. That’ll probably be it for today.

For context I’m a teacher and we had ofsted this week so the house was very neglected. Normally I’d do jobs each day over the week So far today: cleaned kitchen & bathrooms, tidied hall way, hoovered living room & upstairs and downstairs hallways. Put washing in tumble dryer. Just about to tidy & hoover bedrooms.

mylifeisprettygood · 09/03/2024 12:48

Made all the beds. Tidied kids rooms. Put a load in the washing machine then hung it out. I've done the dishes twice after making us all breakfast and lunch. I've done the daily ironing. I've picked up the daily dog poos in the garden. I've given the chickens a little clean and given them food and water. I've yet to hoover.

Loaded and unloaded the dishwasher, did a load of washing, put away the clean clothes. Cleaned the bathroom's, hoovered downstairs, made beds. Did lunch for DC2 and tided up the kitchen. Didn’t really have much to do as did our deep house clean Thursday.

ComfyBoobs · 09/03/2024 13:27

I wonder if there’s an equivalent forum anywhere with blokes listing out their Saturday chores….

StrongandNorthern · 09/03/2024 13:33

I'm fascinated by 'daily ironing' ! 😂

lifebeginsaftercoffee · 09/03/2024 13:35

Hoovered.
Washed the dishes (twice).
Fed the animals (twice).
Sorted the litter trays.
Made the bed.

I try and get everything done on a Friday afternoon so I only have to do the essentials on weekends.

Luckysmum · 09/03/2024 13:36

Making the most of the sun so nothing has been done in the house.

So far I have taken the kids to various clubs, mowed front and back lawns, re- organised the greenhouse and planted a few seeds. Next job is to clean out the chicken coop and then maybe pop out to the garden centre.

Temuaddiction · 09/03/2024 13:40

Cleaned mopped gotta make bed

Justgivemesomepeace · 09/03/2024 13:46

Put a wash on, cleared the fridge out, been to aldi, put it away, took the rubbish out, emptied the dishwasher and put more dishes in. Barely touched the sides of what needs doing

endofthecorridoor · 09/03/2024 13:48

Cleaned the house top to bottom yesterday as we had visitors and we are having drinks with the neighbours later where we are looking at each others home improvement as we had the same builders

So today I'm lolloping about with the papers in my very tidy house

I did wash up and have done some laundry but I love laundry so would not call that a chore Wink

Prepped the curry for the slow cooker. Done a load of laundry. Walked dog for 1.5hours. Done the ironing.

Spooky, almost the same, except ironing, I dont iron anything. We are having chicken rogan josh. What's your curry?
