3 weeks til new job... How would you use your time?

I've got 3 weeks til my new job, so now that I don't have to look for one I have "free" time to focus on other things.

My overall plan for the first two weeks is to workout 90mins - 2hrs every day, give the doggies long walks, and give the house a deep clean

The 3rd instead of cleaning the house, I was going to binge watch whatever I fancied.

Is there anything else you would/wouldn't do?

My birthday is in two weeks so will have to plan for that

Have you got ties so you need to be at home? I'd go for 2 weeks holiday and 1 week house clean.

Take my book and got out for coffee

deep clean (but don’t let that take over too much precious time, it will only get dirty again!)

think ahead to what the kids will need over coming months and sort it out ie any clothing? School dress up day, birthday party you can sort presents and cards for.

batch cook

I’d read as much as I could, sleep when the kids are at school, go out for a nice lunch solo. Or treat myself to something I wouldn’t normally do like a spa day or a beauty treatment.
