Soooo bored! Need household tasks to do....

linzibean

Well, as of last week I lost my job. I've got over the moping and worrying stage, and now I'm at the I'm so bored stage! As we are moving out next month the job centre basically told me looking for a job is pointless (not a great deal of agency work here in mid Wales!). So, I need a good load of housework to do. I'm getting my sruffs and my apron on, Stardrops at the ready. Can all of you wonderful OS people recommend a good day full of chores for me to do tomorrow?

So far I have;

Cleared the wash and ironing baskets
cleaned out the fridge
hoovered everywhere
cleaned all surfaces

but I feel there is so much more I can do Any ideas?

It is pretty dry at the moment. You could wash any curtains and bedding, throws etc? Or shampoo the carpets, wash walls down, clean windows, sort out garden (I need to do all of this, but am a) not as motivated as you, and b) don't have the spare time at the moment.

any weeding need doing?
Clear out cupboards for any out of date items?
Wash out cupboards inners, my sauce cupboards are forever getting a bit messy.
Hoovered your sofa?
Turn your mattresses.
Wash windows
Dust your lightbulbs - didnt know it makes them more energy efficient, how stupid am I?!
Clean your oven?

This has made me realise all the things I should get on with!!!!!

dont forget to dust the lampshades as well as the lightbulbs - makes a lot of difference to the amount of light they give out too

I'll have to sort out my place as the girlfriend is coming over this weekend and its seriously needing a bit of a clean!

You could always come round and help me out

Have a nice bath, a facepack and listen to some nice music.
Then go out for a walk in the sunshine!

You have some time off, make sure you have some time for yourself.:D

If you're moving next month then make a start on the packing - have a good declutter whilst you're at it - no point moving stuff to a new house that you don't need.

I'd start at the top and work down - so attic/loft - sort through what's there, either pack it, chuck it or charity shop/bootfair it. Do the same with wardrobes - go through and see what clothes you don't need/wear. Bedding/duvets/pillows/blankets - sort - wash - pack spares...and so on.....

If you get organised you could do a bootfair before you go and maybe treat yourselves to a takeaway on your first night in your new home, with the proceeds.
