I have deep cleaned the bathroom, cleaned the fridge and food cupboards, done the dishes and hoovered the stairs. Just going to do a quick wipe round the kitchen and I’ll get dressed.

Well done op. When you are feeling shite, it’s an effort even get out of bed.

Today I have cut the grass and done the edging
strimmed the weeds growing to the side of the house
2loads of washing out in the sunshine drying
hoovered every room
stripped my bed
cleaned some cupboards
cleaned the bathroom
done a meal list for next week
got some chicken out of the freezer to defrost for tea tomorrow planning on what we are all eating.
opened all the windows to let the spring fresh air into the house.

What I WANTED to do was to lay in bed, not move, not speak, not eat, not drink, not live.
So today, is an especially good day.

Well I haven’t bothered to get dressed yet, so you’re ahead of me! I have:

Got DD up and helped her get ready for work
Fed the cat
Put a load of washing on
Done a mountain of washing up and wiped down kitchen sides
Taken delivery of the Tesco shop and put it away
Given the bathroom a cursory wipe down
Had a 2 hour nap!

Am about to hang up the washing, put a new load on and have a shower and get dressed.

avocadotoaster · 20/04/2024 15:59

…avoided writing my masters essay that’s due next week :(
I have gone food shopping and had an a nap though.

Gladneighboursisback · 20/04/2024 16:17

I’ve Cleaned the bathroom and kitchen, hoovered living room, done three loads of washing and hung it out and put the dry washing away. Now time to watch tv.

Woman2023 · 20/04/2024 16:19

Barely moved Blush
I need a kick up the backside.

Doyouthinktheyknow · 20/04/2024 16:21

Got up at 5, peri insomnia related.
Dropped DH at his hospital appointment
Crocheted
Had a nap

Not my most productive day but my working weeks are long and stressful🤪

Savoyafternoon · 20/04/2024 16:32

I have been ill with a cough/cold thing for the past six weeks. I have done the absolute minimum to get through.
This morning I finally woke up with some energy. I’ve done three wash loads and got them on the line, been for a run, done some yoga, changed the bedding, cleaned the kitchen, brushed the dog, cleaned the downstairs loo and the en suite, dusted, hoovered, mopped and ironed. I think that will do for one day.

GingerLiberalFeminist · 20/04/2024 16:35

Cycled to (lazy person) aerobics
Cycled home
Went to dentist
Stripped the bed
Put a white wash on
Changed the cot sheets
Started a Shepard pie

Honestly I just want to go to bed!

Terraarts · 20/04/2024 16:37

My god, where d'yall find the enthusiasm, let alone the energy and motivation?! I have always needed pressure of time to accomplish anything that even vaguely smacks of housework or mundanity... but then I'm also an acolyte of the Quentin Crisp school of housekeeping... "There is no need to do any housework at all. After the first four years the dirt doesn't get any worse"... 😂
Hope you are all having a lovely sunshiny day...Big up the female massive! 🙌🏾 ✌🏾❣️

salcombebabe · 20/04/2024 16:41

Got up around 6.50 am (why???!!!!) sat and had a couple of cuppa’s. Cleaned the bathroom thoroughly then Showered, washed my hair, dried it and got dressed. Made my bed then popped into town. Home about an hour later, had a coffee, cleaned my lounge windows then thoroughly dusted, polished and cleaned the lounge. Vacuumed lounge and rest of the house. A friend popped in for a chat for an hour, then I’ve made a curry and have been sat down for the last hour trying not to nap 😴 🤣

drawnfrommemory · 20/04/2024 16:41

I've had a major case of the CBAs since about Thursday. Today I managed to:

Wash my hair
Too DS to his swimming lesson
Did a wash and hung it out
Rinsed and put DS's swimming stuff on the line
Organised my beauty stash

Still haven't done any ironing, cleaned the bathrooms or done a peloton, all of which have been on my list since Thursday!

ghostbusters · 20/04/2024 16:42

Drank lots of tea.
Had a shower and did my hair.
Gardening for 1.5hrs (barely made a dent) then took the garden waste to the recycling place.
Collected prescription from the chemist.
Washed the dishes.
Dried, folded and put away my work uniforms.
Washed, dried and folded a whites load.
Just put in a full load of clothes into the washing machine, mostly school uniform.
Made a small batch of high protein, gluten free bagels (but didn't bother with the hole 😂). They look delicious.
Dinner is leftovers, so minimal effort required.
Had a nap while my DC watched Netflix that I have no interest in.

MaltipooMama · 20/04/2024 16:45

Well my partner was out early this morning to attend a wedding so I tried to make use of some time:

Shower, dressed, bed made early
Changed and washed the spare room bedding
Sterilised and prepped baby bottles for the day
Did a wash (dried, folded and put away)
Cleaned the kitchen
Made lunch for family who stopped by to visit
Entertained 4 month old and dog since 7am this morning 😅

Just made a cup of tea and excited to chill out for the evening and watch the FA Cup semi final in half an hour!

rickandmorts · 20/04/2024 16:50

I'm annoyed because it's been a beautiful day and I've been in bed throwing up 😭😭 but I've had a shower and made DP put fresh sheets on whilst I was in. So feeling better for that.

frecklejuice · 20/04/2024 19:02

Currently having a TMJ flare up and it's giving me a banging headache but I have managed to do a couple of loads of washing, take dd horse riding and pick her up and cook dinner. I'm planning to do nothing for the rest of the evening and then get an early night!

Odiebay · 20/04/2024 19:06

Omg I'm jealous of the sofa sitting. In laws are over so a 1.45minute walk to a pub... To then find the kitchen closed for lunch 😭 so a 1.45hr walk back. Sweating and starving!

Feet are killing me now. Late dinner for us because they don't eat before 8 :/.

So I plan on sitting on the sofa all night now.

ShinyBandana · 20/04/2024 19:11

Did all the breakfasts, sorted clean laundry, took dog for a walk, went to the garden centre for plants, did a bit of gardening in the sunshine 🌞 hurrah, then showered and went to pick up my youngest from drama. Put washing on, cooked dinner, had a look on line for a wedding present for my cousin but accidently bought a pair of wedge sandals from the Office sale.
I’m about to do the online food shop and then I’m going to Watch a couple of episodes of the West Wing while DH tidies up, DS1 does revision, and DS2 has some time playing on his computer.

A nice day made better by the sunshine and the accidental shoe purchase
