When you put your spices into alphabetical order 🙈

I've arranged my herbs/spices/ambient condiments by category. All my spices for curries in one little tub, chinese vinegars oils and sauces in another ....

I mopped my kitchen ceiling.

Yes, my ceiling. With a sugarsoap cloth wrapped around my clean mop and secured with bobbles, in prep for painting (with paint that we already have in the garage) that's going to happen on the next grey day. I'm not wasting sunny days on decorating.

I cleared out they cupboard under the stairs' and found 11 rolls of Christmas wrapping paper...

OhNoNoNoNotThatOne · 07/04/2020 20:55

I ironed today. I DON'T iron, nothing I own requires it, only dhs tops, I did them all, I counted them 63. What 29 year old man needs 63 teeshirts!!!!!!!
I might turn them into a single duvet cover for ds, like a memory duvet cover.

PorpentinaScamander · 07/04/2020 20:57

My herbs and spices have always been in alphabetical order Blush. Not mixed up though. Herbs on one shelf. Spices on the others.

I've sorted all my yarn into weight. So all DK in one box. Aran in another etc. Much easier to find what I need now!

ivykaty44 · 07/04/2020 20:57

I'm either tackling the conservatory or the front door is getting a hot soapy bath

Even better, my student DD who has come home; cleaned the oven!!!
I’m still in shock 🤣

Sparklingbrook · 07/04/2020 21:01

I read someone saying today that ironing kills the virus. Not sure about that because surely washing your clothes does that. I have also ironed today.

@Doyouthinktheysaurus 🌷☕️🍰

I'm getting jobs done, but as usual, procrastinating over difficulties is wasting too much time 😩. wills are very difficult things to write 😢

....when your wardrobe is organised by colour 😂

Just watched the YouTube video...guess what dh is doing tomorrow

(Must just add its the folding bags video...not a random one)

StormCiara · 07/04/2020 21:04

Tidied and alphabetised my bookshelves, made a box of books to get rid of. DH is the enemy of order and reads a bit more than me so things usually drift into chaos. I have mastered it for this evening though.

MaMisled · 07/04/2020 21:04

I tidied my Tupperware. Im not even joking.

SomethingOnce · 07/04/2020 21:05

I’ve done nothing useful today.

From this thread, I have learned the useful term ‘ambient condiments’.

Artinsurance · 07/04/2020 21:06

I did my carrier bags into triangles yesterday and also sorted the contents of our odd screw/washer/nut and bolt jar into a box with compartments. More excitingly, I then used my label maker to say what was where Smile

@DrMadelineMaxwell
Great tip, I was wondering today how to clean kitchen ceiling for painting, new light fitting. 👍🏼

HalfDutchGirl · 07/04/2020 21:07

I’m Im now feeling the need to put my spices into alphabetical order and triangularise (is that a word?!) all of my plastic bags!

I’ve tidied the cupboard under the stairs and my underwear drawer and, like others I’ve got a list going that I cross off and add to, the one task I’m putting off is painting the bedroom ceiling!

SchadenfreudePersonified · 07/04/2020 21:11

I folded all my bags for life into cute little triangles today.....

I've triangles bags in the past.

Listening to and watching DH curse and struggle to unfold the buggers at the checkout became my main form of entertainment.

Then one week I went shopping on my own and I had to unwrap them. Now I just stuff them into my bag . . .

Cherrysoup · 07/04/2020 21:13

I’ve resorted to cleaning the oven. That’s how bad it is!

Ooh, pace yourself, @ThanosSavedMe! What you gonna do tomorrow?!

I’ve done windows inside and out, floors, doors. Might cut the grass tomorrow, they’re stopping the green waste collection soon. 😱

Aisforharlot · 07/04/2020 21:15

Painted a blackboard on ds’s wall.

CoffeeandPainting · 07/04/2020 21:15

When you open cat food and then empty it into the bin instead onto the plate 🤦

The silence is deafening.

Im shielding and it is not fun

tara66 · 07/04/2020 21:15

I've been watching video of Italian Air Force showing red white and green sky trails over a coastal bay while Pavarotti sings Nesun Dorma - magnificent!

GreenTeaMug · 07/04/2020 21:16

I gave my cat her own little table complete with white lacy tablecloth for her food bowls.

(That's not wierd.)

ChampagneCommunist · 07/04/2020 21:21
