Back at the start of the month (which feels like four hundred years ago for some reason) I pledged that I would do the washing up at least every other day to prevent it from becoming a me vs every-plate-in-the-house all-out war.
Did I manage it? Just about.
I did great at first. I did better than every other day, I did it *every* day for at least a week. Then I reverted to every other. Then I went camping for the weekend which meant there were 3 days of no washing up (note, OH didn’t do it in my absence either) so I had lots on day four. Then I got back into every other day until this last week where I wobbled and had another 3 day build up. But I did it all yesterday so there isn’t much left now.
All in all I’d say this month has been a success. More so than I was expecting anyway and hopefully the habit has been set and I will somehow manage to keep it up and never again vanish under a mountain of bowls or be unable to find a clean knife/fork/teaspoon/mug when I want one.
The house still looks like a small bomb has hit it and the dusters have clearly gone on strike but the washing up is manageable and the laundry basket is pretty much empty. Baby steps eh? We’ll get there.
