I have been ill, kids and dh have been ill, house is a shit pit! Dh has done loads of washing but not put it away and there is stuff everywhere!

Today is my day off (only pt) so today is the day I change the house from a hovel to a home. Posting here for accountability.

I have coffee and a new audio book and 6 hrs. Wish me luck, will update. #thrilling 😁

I think I will make a cup of tea in my thermos mug to carry round with me

Haha back I do that, then when I put it down and come back to it, its still hot. Washing is on, nets are soaking to whiten them. Coats and shoes redistributed. I can see the floor!😂 and its mucky 😭. Sweeping and mopping next. Dishwasher has just beeped, so off to empty that.

Just ticked off number 5, went for a nice long run...

It does not take Sherlock Holmes to work out why I don’t get much done does it.....!!

The family room is sort of done but I have sorted my outfit for my girls night out tonight. I am better at procrastinating than housework. Well done on your run, I am eating toastGrin

User I’m eating chicken nuggets!! Not exactly healthy but they are delicious!

After lunch, It’s number 3: hurricane housework, Fill log basket and light fire, Clean kitchen.

Then it’s more admin type stuff. I hate it, I could procrastinate on that for ever.
