Today is the day i bloody do something 😡

[Whyohwhy99]

I need to moan about myself.

I have about 18? Blinds that i need to put up. They have been stacked in my living room for at least 2 months.

I need to hang the doors in my storage unit. Been like that for about 2 months.

I need to put 3 chests of drawers together they have also been sitting there for about 3 months.

I need to moved ds bedroom contents down to his new bedroom.

I need to catch up on washing as always and general house work.

Oh yeah and I need to fit a new stair carpet

I bought ds a massive bundle of clothes from vinted. But managed to mix it up with his old clothes now I don't know whats what.

Energy is zero right now. It normally picks up a bit in the afternoon. So in a while I will put some music on and at least do something. Ds wants us to build something together. I don't even know where my tools are probably spread all over the house not where they should be. Wouldn't surprise me if there was a screw driver in the freezer

I had to look that up 🤣 rings a bell

Yes i do that. But i dont set ab alarm otherwise I will just stop after 5 mins I normally check the time. Do as much as i can in what I think is 10 mins. And then I feel better about what I got done then. I do it again like a challenge. I think its mainly the getting started.

Yes that's exactly what I'm doing.
Dish washer is a god send glad its helped you 💐

Book someone to come and do the blinds , carpet and flat pack and give yourself some headspace

Either you live near me or everyone is closing their tips at the moment 😏

Good for you for making yourself accountable! I gave myself all week to do a list of things we'd been putting off and since I am off work, I'd do them
I'd say I've done half of it - the "easy" stuff. But the half I have done is half arsed.
I should have married a handyman...or a cleaner. 😂

Good luck with your list!!

I agree! Throw money at the problem and book a handyman to get most of those jobs ticked off your list.

Olio is fab! So quick and easy to use. I leave everything out the front on the arranged day for people to collect too so I can just go about my day.

You're overwhelmed and have taken on too much. You need to delegate, either to family members or to paid help. You also need to go easy on yourself. Learn to say 'no' and to let some things go. Be kind to yourself xx

No 😳. I'm not letting people in my house. Plus. Ds wants us to do it together.

I hear you.
I try to do one job per day then it's not too overwhelming - but you do need to make a start.

Is there anyone you can rope in to help you out? That's an awfully long to do list for one person.

X

I don't have money to throw at it.
Also I don't kike people in my house.

Im not overwhelmed. Im
just thinking ffs. But be ok once I start.
Starting now 17.03 😅

Cheering you on @Whyohwhy99 ☺️

I don't think I've ever seen a house with 18 windows! Is that really how many blinds you need to hang? I'd lose the will to live after 2 😫

🤣

Got bed frame put together. Holes not lining up etc. Anyway that's done. Sorted out ds old room and stored his stuff else whetevsovthr room can be used. Kids are tidying their room to earn V bucks. I'm sitting on my butt. But I do have a wash on which is my excuse.

Well i have 18 panes of glass rather than 18 windows. But still means 18 blinds 🫠

I stopped giving to charity shops as they always paused collections. I now just post as job lots on Facebook market place, no sorting, no holding, first to turn up gets it. Always had stuff picked up and gone within an hour of posting

18 blinds??? Do you live in a mansion?

I went to a stinking hot launderette this morning. And used the dryers too, after the wash. Fucking hot. Go me. I ate the frog. Big quilt came up lovely. I've a list about a mile long.

I have so many bin bags to sort!
I'm off for the 6 weeks as I teach, but my kids are grown so instead of running around keeping them entertained I try and blitz as many jobs in the house as I can that get ignored the rest of the time.

This year I've
Redecorated the kitchen and bathroom.
Had the boiler serviced, and the gas fire serviced (and condemned £££)
Painted various doors in the house
Bought new curtains for various rooms and hung them
Reorganised storage in the airing cupboard.

Had sort outs in various rooms inc the summer house.
And I'm about to tackle stripping the paint off the banisters.

I have various bin bags that need to be organised into
Rubbish
Charity shop
Recycling.

I need to contact a scrappy to collect stuff
And I need to take rubbish and recycling to the skip.

But tomorrow I'm having as a lazy day for me!

I did a tip run today 😇

I can't remember how many months ago it was since I registered my car at the tip, but there was crap that had been biding its time in the garage for a year.

Worth it though if it came out nice 👌
I have nevervused a laundrette in my life.

Sounds like you have done loads. Similar to some of the things I should be doing but I'm not 🙄

Feels nice to have new decorated rooms though. Shit about the boiler though.

Enjoy your rest today.

Pay a carpet fitter to do the stair carpet. Fitting carpets is difficult any way. Stair carpets are wildly difficult!
