Did You Accomplish Anything Today?

I got a lot of things done today.. Hubs is going to have a couple weeks off starting next week so he's going to paint the walls and ceiling in my dressing room, so yesterday I started organizing the room so come the big day it'll be easier to take everything out of there ready for painting. I bagged up a load of clothing to donate as well.

Took the Venetian blinds down in readiness for new ones to be fitted after the painting

Later I trimmed back the high hedges we have in the back garden.. and cut back and weeded in the borders!

Took delivery of a new Window blind for the kitchen, which has to be fitted tomorrow...

Cleaned down all the kitchen cupboard fronts

Hosed everything later in the day and filled the bird feeders and the water dishes for the hedgehogs..

Cooked a roast dinner..Beef , roast potatoes and Brussels.. for me ( yes I even eat that when it's hot outside) :D... then cooked a veggie steak for hubs when he got home from work a few hours later!

I wish I'd left the gardening until today because it's going to be a much warmer day than yesterday and it would give me an excuse to be out in the sun.. but hey ho.. maybe I'll go and buy the paint instead.. :D
 

So many ambitious folks here. @hollydolly, I think you win the prize for the most accomplishments.

Yesterday I dusted the entire house for the first time in ages. The day before I deep cleaned all 3 bathrooms and mopped the non-carpeted floors.
Today I plan to wash all four exterior doors (inside and out) and windowsills. They get dusty and need a bath every few months.

Hubby has been working on fix-it projects in the garage.

I try to not schedule myself for more than an hour or two of chores each day. Other than the usual ongoing cleaning, cooking, tidying up, etc.

As per our usual, the hubs, the dog and I went for our one hour morning walk and DH & I swam for about an hour in the early evening. Dog is allergic to water. Or so he claims.
 
Up at 5 AM ~ Got dressed, fed the cats, cleaned litter boxes, made the bed, then headed outdoors.

Fed the wildlife, talked to mama groundhog and her three kids that came to greet me. Went for a short walk and watched a few deer. Picked blueberries off our bushes, watered my small garden after picking some cherry tomatoes and cucumbers. Cleaned the hummingbird feeders and put fresh food in them.

Came indoors, checked a few websites, now going to eat breakfast, do dishes, then clean the bathrooms & run the vacuum.

They all are. 😁❤

Not aimed at Ruthanne! Just a general..... hey by the way message to anyone who might be spreading grass seed in the hot summer.
Spreading grass seed in the hot part of the season is a waste of both time and valuable water. You are best off doing it early spring or mid fall. It’s less work, less water and less money you’ll lose.

Past 4pm now...I've been to London to see the Queen.. well she was in but she wasn't accepting visitors, :LOL: so instead I went shopping for Paint... very heavy tubs of paint so a very handsome young man carried all the shopping and the paint to the car.. Got quite a bit of hardware type stuff as well

Very humid, and warm today, so everything was exhausting.. I had to drive to several different retail parks to get what I wanted, and then because I was so hot, I forgot to go and get a coffee which I like to do when I am out... instead I drank water that I carry always in the car!!..felt disappointed about the Latte when I was almost home and I realised I'd not had one!! :(:coffee:

Called my hair salon which is also a long way away , and discovered they're still taking walk-ins unlike very other salon who are only accepting clients by appoinment, so I'll go and have my hair cut next week...

Got all the stuff put away, changed into a much cooler dress.....cuppa tea made and now sitting down for a bit of a rest, before I clean the kitchen floor

I was going to do something, but after reading about all you have done I got tired and decided I should just watch tv. 😂

Wow, you were a busy little beaver. Good on you! By comparison, I am lazy.
