Shocked. But totally get why yours seeing the inside of the washing machine more often.

I sometimes contemplate getting back on a bike, but here is the same - the hills, the hills!<br />Isn't it wonderfully satisfying to cross off multiple items from the list of errands in one trip. I love it, because I hate leaving home. Such a good idea to keep weekends free. <br />You need a housework buddy. If I lived next door, I would gladly swap vacuuming chores for cleaning the bathroom.<br />Back when my children were all small, a friend and I would meet at each other's houses, let the tribe of children run wild (that's what homeschooled children do, right?) and do an afternoon of house cleaning. We took turns each week. It was brilliant! And it's so much more fun cleaning someone else's house.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17803297366197086152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4838234360213313454.post-19151799281876960152013-08-22T12:11:57.968+10:002013-08-22T12:11:57.968+10:00i am so glad to see you have some time just for yo...i am so glad to see you have some time just for you and reading! you deserve it.<br /><br />i try to do my errands after work, so i'm not traipsing around wasting my weekends; i'm in the car anyway so i just detour a bit on the way home. plus i figure i'm all dressed up from work so look more presentable, which may result in better service! i try to keep my work lunchbreaks for walking or bike riding, not errands, but sometimes i have to give that up. unless i can combine it (ie walk to the pharmacist, return library books along the way, ride to fruit and veg shop).<br />and i'm blessing my cotton socks that i live alone and do not have to vacuum as often as you do. it is the chore i loathe the most ( along with lawnmowing; it's a pushing thing, i'm sure) - and therefore ignore the most. <br />e / dig in hobarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03448702578845994922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4838234360213313454.post-54957746250713650692013-08-22T07:20:10.566+10:002013-08-22T07:20:10.566+10:00Oh, Heather, I'm so excited to be an influence...Oh, Heather, I'm so excited to be an influence for good! Usually I am a terrible enabler of bad behaviour, so this a nice change!<br />I'm glad you are enjoying your clean house. You should see mine this morning! Yesterday we moved furniture around, and this morning we have every surface in the living room covered with the contents of our ex-large TV cupboard. No library book reading for me today!Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17803297366197086152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4838234360213313454.post-42431098893297750192013-08-22T02:48:08.325+10:002013-08-22T02:48:08.325+10:00I try to do all my errands on a single day of the ...I try to do all my errands on a single day of the week when my kids are at school. I find that the more I leave the house, the more money I end up spending.<br /><br />You've been inspiring me lately. I've been putting loads of laundry in the washer right when I wake up, I've been putting breakfast dishes straight into the dishwasher, and straightening up the house before bedtime...your influence is making me downright efficient. I keep cleaning up as I move around the house. I am actually enjoying the results, too. Thank you.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14016303700981928418noreply@blogger.com
