I work in a school, so at the moment I am on “stand down”. This means that I am on paid leave, but can be called in if the situation needs it.
So … today is cleaning day, and I have been busy tidying the house for the cleaner. Yes, I know that sounds silly, but I only pay her for the basics, and I make sure the counters are clear for dusting, everything is picked up, and the rooms are tidy enough to be cleaned.
So this morning I have:
Tidied my sewing area
Washed the blanket that lives on the lounge (was getting a big doggy smelling)
Tidied the table and hutch
Tidied the side table.
Tidied my desk.
Got the kids to tidy their rooms
Emptied the vacuum cleaner
Put a heap of stuff into the shed, ready to go to the dump.
Put the ironing board away
Had a shower and washed my hair
and now …. having a coffee. I plan to head out for some op-shop trawling soon.
