I drive EVERYWHERE but today, I have walked 10,000 steps 😊

Taken the dog on a 2 hour fun walk rather than a 40 min necessary walk.

NovemberMorn · 09/03/2026 19:25

Not much, had a bath, washed hair, done a boil wash of towels, teacloths and flannels, played 2 games of scrabble and three games of drafts with husband.
Now in the process of cooking a dinner....and afer that, I will watch TV and then read a book in bed.

Do I feel I have wasted a day...nope, I loved it.

Bet your dog loved that! 😃

Started using the Flylady app today, after reading about it on here. I’m retired and struggling with being organised with housework. I have spent all day cleaning half my kitchen (it’s a big kitchen) and I am so proud of myself. I really think this might be a turning point in me managing to keep the house clean!

BadgerFace · 09/03/2026 20:22

Accidentally watched 5 episodes of The Summit… But also walked 10,000 steps first so I’ll take that as a balanced day off!

I have finally cut a very toxic relationship off. I have removed and blocked on all platforms. I have deleted their number. I am done. I feel sick as a dog over it but hope to feel liberated soon. It’s made me ill for the last 3 years but hopefully soon I’ll feel free.

Worked a ten hour shift, done two loads of the dishwasher and four loads of laundry. Tidied and hoovered ds3's room, read with ds3 and took the dog for her evening 15 min walk.
Only achievable because most of my house stuff was done whilst WFH 👀.

Limth · 09/03/2026 20:24

Two things off my work "To Do" list for the week. Ignore the facts it's got another 74 items on it, including the six I added today.

I did a circuits class. Ignore the fact I didn't try very hard and stuck to very comfortable weights.

I ironed two pillowcases. Ignore the fact they're stained with body oil.

I ate eleven different plant types today. No caveat to this one.

Finally figured out why the cat food cupboard was mysteriously stinking.....and cleaned it out!!! Trigger warning....a dish with old cat food on 🤢🤢🤣

TheChosenTwo · 09/03/2026 20:24

Errrrmmmmm… well I ticked a few work jobs off my annoying list of things to do!
Not much else though. Ds and I usually go to the gym on a Monday night but he ended up staying to play football after school instead which is lovely really. He’s my Monday motivation though, we usually head off as soon as I switch my laptop off at 4:30 and today instead I went and laid on my bed for an hour and a half and then went to Sainsbury’s with dd 😂

Not had any alcoholic drinks.
74th dry day.
No illusions, it’s going to be tough, but I have started on the journey.
The journey that will never end.

That’s a really big achievement and this stranger is very proud of you 💐

WearyAuldWumman · 09/03/2026 20:31

A bit of decluttering and tidying.

Did an arm and back workout at the gym, followed by thigh workout. Then attended pilates.

ETA Did a teeny bit of weeding and scattered some flower seeds.

WFH all day managed to get 5 loads of washing done by quickly loading/unloading washing machine/tumble dryer between meetings. Made fahitas for dinner for dh, I and 4 dc.

That’s brilliant! Well done.

I built a fence! Never done it before and had to DIY it, as recent house purchase has wiped out the possibility of getting someone in to do it.
Thus lots of You Tube videos and sheer determination. It is up.. and its been painted, I however, need to go soak in a bath for the next hour, Im in pain.. everything hurts!

whatwasthatnoise · 09/03/2026 20:57

Cleaned the bathrooms, changed all the bedding (and got half of it in to wash), folded a basket of clean washing, did the weekly food shopping and made a tagine for dinner.
I managed to fit in a micro nap when I sat on the sofa for half an hour before the kids came home from school. That wasn't on my list but a welcome surprise.

Simonjt · 09/03/2026 20:58

I had my first day at my new job, I didn’t mess anything up or make an idiot of myself. I mean it won’t continue, but its a good start.

School run, 25 lengths at the gym outside pool. Done a good shift at my laptop for work.. 11-3. Then stripped 5 beds / cleared out the air b&b after guests departure. School run again followed by sons drumming lesson. Cleaned the kitchen, put a wash on. Put a wash away. Cooked a nice dinner and now I’m about to get back on my laptop for another hour with a cuppa before bed.. oh and it’s my birthday so we’ve had a cheeky cake 🎂

FamingolosForDays · 09/03/2026 21:23

Worked solidly from 9am until 5:20pm. Didn't have time to take a break. DD kindly cooked dinner for us while I went to get DS from my mums. Ran around folding clean washing up. Wrote an even bigger to do list than the one I wrote this morning.

Its going to be a Very Long Week.

Hugs. I know how hard it is to do this.
