Hair cut and coloured, pedicure, microneedling.

Read two books

Yesteryear - good, kept me engrossed

Loved and missed - fantastic and sad

Next book- strangers

Any other recommendations? Yes I am hijacking.

I cleaned the garage door and got mildew off our metal gates. I also went to second hand book shop and donated lots of old books and bought a few for my classroom. Most productive

I've already run out of Books recently, but I have loved London falling, The greatest possible good, good people, and Drayton and McKenzie

Powerhosed my bins the day before the hose pipe ban here.

Downstairs windows nearly done, bought one of those Instagram steam cleaners and cleaned loads of shit - weirdly satisfying- teaching DD to drive and DS to get public transportation for next year. Lazing about a lot.

Washed all my running shoes (many many pairs) and put them outside in the sun to dry

Cleaned out the robot hoover 🤮

DH (also teacher) cleared out his wardrobe this morning. I was moral support, otherwise he wouldn't chuck anything away! I have since taken three bin bags to the charity shop as I was going to the shop next door. Tomorrow is exciting...trip to the tip! Whoop!

I am currently reading Andy Burnham and Steve Rotherham's book.

Up early this morning - load of washing on the line including the living room throws.

Have some Oven Pride doing its business in the manky oven. Got cleaning that out to look forward to later...

Cleared the shed out & took a load of stuff to the tip

mum2jakie · 31/07/2026 16:11

Bathroom is today's target...

I broke my little toe at the start of the holidays and I think that's my biggest achievement so far.

I've got a lively 6 yo 24/7 - basically I just swap one job for another! Cream crackered!!!!!
