Took my car for it's MOT. Opted to wait, wish I hadn't as it took 3 hours

Went to the garden centre and bought bark chippings

About to tidy the airing cupboard. It just has stuff rammed in all over 😩

Airing cupboard is now tidy!

I've also put away the duvet from our bed that was discarded in June and has been hanging over the banister ever since (we're just sleeping under the empty cover)

And put away a load of towels. Having a cup of tea as reward

Dentist, optician, smear test and about to book a podiatrist appointment. Once the medical stuff is done, I’ve got the shed and garage to sort out. Might get my nails done after that!

No longer a teacher but I remember the holidays as being a merry go round of appointments - hair, eyes, teeth- play dates and shopping for uniform and shoes. We’d usually manage a couple of weeks away too.

Don't mean to boast but I've emptied the washing machine filter and cleaned the dishwasher.

Can I be fast tracked to leadership instead?

iCod · Yesterday 20:45

Obviously, but only if you never do any of this stuff again and just sit in your office

Good idea for a thread!

Today I've had an eye test. Inspired by this thread, I've also tidied the towels in the linen cupboard and topped up salt/rinse aid in dishwasher.

Haircut is booked for Friday.

I need inspiration for shit jobs to do today. Just sitting about watching tv in my dressing gown so far!

PensionPuzzle · Today 10:49

De-scaled the coffee machine. Started my tip run tally.

Went through 2 Kallax cubes of doom, shuffled things around and put everything back in them again. Found a glue stick and half a pack of Post-Its.

Not a teacher (all of the wine and thanks to my daughter's teacher a saint without an halo if you ask me) but I do work term time only.
Everybody at work thought I was finishing for a brilliant time off of relaxation and pleasure.
So far
Tidied the house at minimum of eleven times.
Answered 30 million questions (lots I admit I didn't even know myself)
And checked my calender for my September countdown.
This afternoon I am taking my daughter to her grandma's and going to tackle the back garden.

TheFallenMadonna · Today 11:09

Unusually I have booked myself to be away for 29 days over the holiday (brief return for results day...). My house will never recover. I will get to the having everything out to sort stage and not the putting it all back stage.

Scrubbed the kitchen floor, I will never have lvt fitted again! Done the cleaning products into boxes thing and re-packed the utility room cupboards. Lifted and hoovered all the dog beds. Damp dusted the living room surfaces/furniture. Washed the windows. Scrubbed the lounge floor tiles. Painted my nails-pointless, did it last night and they’re already wrecked because I’m so hard on my hands.

QueenStevie · Today 12:44

Just cleaned out my wardrobes. Got three bags for the charity shop and a bag for the bin. I am now very organised! I wonder how long that will last???

And how long will I drive around with the bags in my boot before they actually reach the charity shop?!
