Ones you really, really don want.

I don’t want to take two parcels to the local Hermes drop off. Rude staff there
Need to clear the garden a bit. It’s cold and I don’t like gardening which is why I have pots
Doing dinner for later
General vac round but don’t mind that so much!

All trivial I know,
Any one else?

I really need to clean the kitchen cupboards, inside and out but I can't be bothered. Kneeling is out of the question too so it's going to involve a lot of hunching over. Maybe I'll wait til spring.

Clean around the base and the back of the toilets, 3 of them, no problem cleaning the bowls, but the other parts are fiddly and it’s probably only me that notices.

PS our enterprising local Hermes lady has a Facebook page, very helpful.

In the absence of a bannister, I just lay the duvet cover inside out on the bed, put the duvet on top of it and grab its top corners through the inside out cover underneath. Then shrug the cover the right way out over it. Seems to work

Having won the battle of the duvet, I proceeded to clear and clean the cupboards under the sink! And not before time!

Don't talk to me about cobwebs, our old cottage is the spiders' headquarters, and this is cobweb world!

I quite miss my cobwebs . My new home is pristine and stays that way!

Not sure what I’ve done to deserve it because I hate housework.

I really don’t want to be stuck indoors painting the legs of the coffee table but I’m on the home run with the decorating so I must stop putting off the last fiddly diddly jobs.

Well the ironing has not caught up with the laundry yet, and there’s a large pile of dead leaves that the wind has kindly left piled up by the front door, but I feel under the weather today so I can’t be bothered with any of it. Domani!

Domain indeed Greyduster
I simply don’t have any oomph today ☹️ DDog has been walked, I’ve cleaned through and put on some washing but now ....zilch, nada. I have ground to a halt!

BlueBalou Wed 02-Feb-22 12:11:23

Domani for heaven’s sake! ?

Got to go shopping, that is bad enough. Then teach- and then - basta!

An engineer has just reconnected broadband which has cut out 25 times since Sunday!

Whoop whoop! Sod the decorating. I’m going to spend the afternoon finishing binge watching Hidden Assets. ?
