Chores you don’t want to do today

I need to do some washing but as we have had no water for the last 3 hours or so I have gone back to reading my book, rather than do other odd jobs like cleaning the oven !

Sorting and cleaning cupboards and drawers. All of them. It will be a long job as the house is full of “ stuff” and I’m determined this year it is going one way or another Just need OH out of the way or he mooches through then puts everything back ?

Cutting back the hedges and pruning the roses. It's so cold out there.

I'm going to stay in and recover my ironing board and do some sewing.

I need to send out some invoices. I know they are an important part of my business but they are also the most boring part. I have a couple of lovely clients who sometimes just work it out for themselves and pay me, rather than waiting for a bill, bless them.

There was also a pile of ironing but MrHB did that while I was working.

I never want to do any chores - but today I cleaned the (large) living room window (the frame too, as it was covered in mildew/mould) by standing on a chair, then cleaned all the mirrors in the house, then did some washing, vacuumed through downstairs rooms, wiped all the skirting (they hadn't been done in ages), made a dinner by actually following a recipe. That's enough for today.

I emptied the top of the wardrobe in the spare room today. I can't face putting it all back!

Didn’t feel a bit like doing it but today my bloke & I wrapped up warm & finished painting the garden fence! Dead proud of the finished look. I also went to B&Q & bought six fan shaped plant supports for the fence & painted 2 of those too. It was very windy & the wind chill wasn’t much fun but we’ll soon be all ready for spring.
A good nights sleep & mind over matter. Character building stuff!

I live in london and would be afraid a Hermes parcel might be stolen. I did everything on my list, Mr Grumpy helped a lot in the garden. I want to get some spring bulbs and then let my three year old grandaughter ‘help’ to plant them. This was why all my pots needed emptying. Mr Grumpy now has to take several bags of garden rubbish to the dump, which he claims to hate doing.

Job done!!! Not half as bad as thinking about it!!!

I've been out all day, the recycling absolutely needs to go out. So, here goes! I'll put on my jacket, boots and gloves and actually do it. But oh, I don't want to go back out into the cold. Right - go!!!!

I hate housework but must vacuum today as I can shamefully see cobwebs in the corners and I expect a visitor tomorrow.

... if you've got cobwebs - you've already got visitors...

Oldnproud Annoying, isn't it - I slide a broad bladed knife in there to get the fluff out.

Where does all the fluff come from?

I really should sort out the study but I'm going to make a and shut the door on it because my new yarn has just arrived (courtesy of Hermes!) and I want to finish a project.

ps I've already been to the surgery, polished and vacuumed and done three loads of washing. May I relax now, please?

I've finished them and am reading gransnet, said she, while giving her halo a rub.

They entailed checking the direct debit and our current accounts, hoovering the downstairs rooms and airing the house, filling up the log basket and emptying the ash pan from the wood burner and making bread, plus ordering a load of logs.

I ought to go round the garden picking up about a ton of waste paper that I am quite sure yesterday's extreme storm has left all over the place.

DH has bent the metal roofing sheet the worked loose on the garage back into place and weighed it down, as well as doing the shopping, and upending the bins again, so yes, I should done a hefty layer of warm clothes and collect rubbish in the garden.

Emptying the vac.

I wouldn't mind, but the dust doesn't simply drop out into the bin when I release the catch, as per the instructions. Instead, it collects at one side and lodges there, so has to be either poked out, or the whole unit dismantled as if doing a major empty and filter cleaning.

Still, I've done it now.

I didn't want to go for a walk but I went. Not very far but at least I got a couple of thousand steps in. It was too cold and windy to do more.

Started to clean out the train room! Slow and very possible I'll abandon shortly.....

Clearing the drain. No. Just no.

I hate housework but must vacuum today as I can shamefully see cobwebs in the corners and I expect a visitor tomorrow.

I had to drag myself out to the dentist in the wind and rain earlier. I was going to change the bed this afternoon but will put it off till tomorrow.

How about a coverless washable duvet. There are a number of suppliers providing them.

Stuffing the duvet back into its cover. Thought I'd got it down to a tee by rolling it up and letting it unroll inside the case, but it got stuck half way down. Back to square one!

Go to the tip with b
the garden rubbish.The storm brought down lots of small branches and twigs do I spent a couple of hours raking and tidying yesterday. Its too woody for the compost and too much for our brown bin.The bags are by the car and I really should load up and go whilst it's still fine-heavy rain and strong winds tomorrow. But I'm only just warming through from a dog walk and have decided to have a coffee and catch up on some TV instead.

Decide what to have and cook yet another meal! I’m sick to death of cooking for myself. Partly I suppose because there’s not much happening in between.

Luckygirl13 can I distract from your tasks with Byrdle - Wordle for people interested in choral music?
