Feel dire with period, but got some work done and some small steps dropping off a vinted sale. In news I'm sure will surprise you all, I have not done any cleaning.

beanielou

Cleaning is so overrated!

jwil

Not doing any cleaning is a standard day for me!

Ha absolutely @beanielou and @jwil, I am definitely not a dedicated cleaning person but little things like properly wiping down the sink once a week make everything feel so much nicer. Also I think I must be extra manky as I have no idea how they get so grim so quickly 😂

Anyway they can continue to be a bit manky until I feel less internally manky. Amazing how period pains focus the mind to pure needs like honour essential commitments and eat biscuits, and that is basically it

November Aims

Wholesomeness and self-care. More proper cooking. Making sure to keep up with steps and situps and five a day. I am not the healthiest person so prioritising these at least helps keep balance, and I never feel worse for having done them

Home love. I am trying to reframe 'bejesus why are we still having to beg to get build sh*t done' as I need to stop stressing about this d*ckhead builder, yes it is really really important and yes he is showing us enormous disrespect and yes he is costing us money, but we cannot crack mentally now having survived the last few years!
Home love will also still apply to doing household tasks that I have bothered to do as we wish to actually enjoy our home and treat it well

Any monies towards mortgage, current account, Mum's birthday pot. Happy to report I have hopefully saved up enough for Christmas pot as long as no mad price increases occur

Slowdown

Things get dirty because life is dirty. It’s nice when things can look clean and shiny but what with dog hair and garden mud and dust and cooking spills and toothbrushing splatters and fluff in cutlery trays and spiders who think webbing is fun and dirty washing and..and..and ……. it’s just too much. I often find myself taking off my glasses just so I can’t see it all. 😂

beanielou

What a good idea @slowdown. Takes glasses off quickly.

Blackcats

@Slowdown - I love your description of real life! In my case I can put on reading glasses which make anything other than the book look a bit hazy.

Great November aims PIP

I sacked myself as cleaner because I had such a bad attitude!
