This month I am trying to take an active step into getting on track with the housework. I am patchy to start with – worse now I have two small people to distract me. So my aim? Get to grips with the washing up.
Is that it?
Yes.
It has a habit of being left until we have no bowls/knives/spoons/whatever it is you happen to need and then it is a marathonto get it all done and there is never enough room on the draining board. (What’s that I hear you say? Once a student, always a student. Possibly…)
It’s a bit of a pain because we have to turn the immersion heater on to get any hot water in the summer so you have to plan ahead, turn on the water, remember to turn it off again an hour later and then wash up. I tend to forget to turn it on and then not do the washing up.
NOT THIS MONTH!
I aim to do it at the very least every other day, preferably daily. At least then it should only be a twenty minute job rather than an hours grind.
Wish me luck!
(Alternatively of course we could just all go on a crash diet and not eat so there isn’t any washing up. Or have takeaway and use our fingers…)

Good luck with this. We are the same in this house, only wash up when we absolutely have to, but that was before we got our dishwasher, now that gets turned on but only when it is completely and utterly full. Hope you achieve your target. Wash up to music, that is what we do! I am trying to lose a few pounds this month and do something different everyday with the twins x x x Good Luck x x x

I feel for you on this one. Since we moved, we don’t have space for a dishwasher any more and I’m still seriously mourning its loss. As it is we tend to be pretty much the same around here too, though we deliberately didn’t buy much crockery because we know how bad we can be! It doesn’t help that I’m really allergic to washing up liquid – even the good for your hands type. Good luck with your challenge, I hope you get it licked xx

oh I HATE washing up. We were exactly the same until we got a dishwasher. I tell it I love it on a daily basis…
Good luck with your challenge 🙂
