Who's playing the never ending exciting game called housework today?

[–] melbourne_wanderer@aussie.zone 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I have already completed the satisfying job of removing everything from the fridge, cleaning all the shelves/drawers, wiping down all the bottles and containers and putting them back again.

I had planned on some garden work, but rain means I will plug away at admin in computer instead.

Did you come across any surprises? Eg. How long's that been in there?

[–] Catfish@aussie.zone 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I wish to report a pair of damp waxy work socks under the sink.

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I'm sure there's a story there.

[–] Catfish@aussie.zone 3 points 5 months ago

Presumably. Doesn’t seem to have been doing a Pippy Longstocking polishing the floor

Nothing too surprising! I love to cook, so use everything in the fridge fairly frequently, but there were a couple of hot sauces in the sauce drawer that have been there for.....some time.

Nup. The kitchen tap developed a really bad leak on Friday night so spent some time with damage control and repairs. That’s my imperative for the weekend done. Spending my time cooking and drinking now haha. It’s awful 😎

We only had a couple of quiet ones last night so I'll be into the piss later. πŸ‘

[–] calhoon2005@aussie.zone 4 points 5 months ago

Nah. I started it up, but it said there was an update required, so I said stuff that and went back to relaxing.

[–] Eagle@aussie.zone 4 points 5 months ago

I've declared it a study day not a housework day. Not getting anything done in all honesty. Time to pull my finger out. 500 words and 2 policies to write.

[–] Mittens_meow@aussie.zone 4 points 5 months ago

Yep. I bet the middle aged male managers demanding β€œreturn to office” all have cleaners or housewives to do all the work.

[–] wscholermann@aussie.zone 4 points 5 months ago

Ugh me. However I made it slightly more interesting by rearranging furniture.

[–] underwatermagpies@aussie.zone 4 points 5 months ago

Just as soon as I get up. Maybe.

[–] Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I'm putting the blinders on till tomorrow.

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 points 5 months ago

Giddy up. 🐴

[–] imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Me βœ‹πŸ»trying to stick to the basics and not pull everything out of the cupboards in a big declutter. I am too tired for that

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 2 points 5 months ago

Hahaha. That's what I'll be doing today. Cupboards. Long overdue.

Me! With a side quest of collecting things from storage and decluttering. Perfect weather for it!

[–] Duenan@aussie.zone 3 points 5 months ago

No housework for me today but might do some more work work when I warm up.
