My little thing is pairing up odd socks! I have a drawer that I shove them in for quickness when putting laundry away, and every now and then I tip them all out and attack them, it gives me joy! Happily admit that I'm weird, and need to get out more..

Love a good spot squeeze & adore a dig around with a pin for an ingrown hair Blush

Squeezing blackheads, especially the lovely one on dh’s back that refills.
Cleaning the gunge off the back of earrings.
I also used to love cleaning the gunk out of little baby ears...favourite pass time whilst breastfeeding!

Cleaning the kitchen floor with wipes, takes so much longer than using a steam mop, but somehow it's a lot more satisfying. You can get into all the corners a lot easier. I had some rare free time this morning which I really should have spent watching telly and eating chocolate, but no. I am officially weird.

Ooh yes cleaning gunky earrings 😆

Supermarket shopping. All of it. I give myself a good couple of hours. I browse, use the scan and shop, am a voucher whore and expert in getting £££ off using vouchers, and slay at the self service till. I can pack an entire trolley without it saying Unexpected Item in bagging area once Grin Packing into bags neatly, then unpacking at home and fitting everything perfectly into the fridge and freezer. I mean it isn't the highlight of my week, obviously ( it is )

Cleaning the plughole. Pulling all the hair out, love it! Blush

Oooh squeezing spots, especially my husband's!

Cutting my toenails. Something strangely satisfying about freshly cut and filed toenails, probably because i can't stand long toenails

I also love using interdental brushes. In fact I look forward to even just brushing my teeth. I love that fresh, clean feeling afterwards

Holiday laundry! I love doing laundry, and I love coming home and getting stuck into sorting a mountain of it.

@metalmum15 Haha, I don't move for the sake of it (too expensive and I can get a similar buzz from a good spring clean) but I just worked out that I've moved 8 times in the last decade. DH and I have lived in four different places in our four years together! Shock
