What a shit Saturday. Shit, but necessary at least!
I had planned to spend half the day on the allotment, but it's just been drizzling literally all day, so I had to shelve that, and instead I've spent literally all day doing shitty chores...
Defo an in day!
In fairness these were at least chores which NEEDED doing: the kind of things I've put off for the last three and a half months of being back in Hereford...
I split the day in two: physical chores and online type chores.
Physical Chores...
This basically meant tidying the entire house and scrubbing.... well over due....
I managed to...
- hoover and scrub the living room and kitchen floors - I actually broke into quite a considerable sweat, on my hands and knees with a cloth.
- clean the entire bathroom
- weed the front garden
- hoover the upstairs and tidy things away
- wash a few odd things, like bags and slippers and cushion covers.
- sort a lot of paper work.
I've decided that my house was way too skanky, so I'm going to try and do this kind of cleaning in the evenings - it only takes about 15 mins to do the basics (wash up, wipe surfaces) so I'm going to tag on 15 mins every evening and maybe, for example, clean the shower one day, everything else the next, scrub one floor one day and so on.
I figure I can get round everything once a fortnight like this, much easier than spending half the day once a month or so!
Punishing online chores
No wonder I put these off:
- finally logging into one bank account for the first time in 6 months via juggling batteries in a card reader.
- changing my address with the Portuguese finances
- setting up a few direct debits.
- MOT check (not due until later than exepcted)
- updating my Mac, something I really shouldn't be so slack with.
- just tidying up old files and emails. One has to keep on top of these things...
Bit of a suck day, but at least it's done!
Honestly I feel a bit crap, it's Saturday but I feel like I've just had a work day, no sense of reward, but I don't want to do beer tonight as I want to run tomorrow and make up for the allotment time I missed out on today, so I need to be one it!
Hopefully I'll have some more fun weekends in the future, this one sucks!
