The boring thread of: I have to really clean a few things (part 4)

[Joan]

I got lucky, there was a heated airer for sale, last 1, for £59. So I got it, then had the fun of carrying it home in the rain with one arm in a sling! But I managed and it's set up ready for me to do some washing

Nice jobbbb !!!

I am still going to keep my eye out for air conditioner for the summer, these things never go on sale, they only go up in price, even during black Friday .. i might just have to bite the bullet and spend like $250 to $500 on one and call it a day :/ not going to suffer through another heatwave.

Electrical heater I inherited from my father, from the farm. it looks like one of those real ones, it's nice for a 15 minute boost of heat to your legs and to take the cold out of the freezing room. they're really worth it. I use a smart plug in the wall so I can turn it on/off with an app, and it auto turns off after 15 or 45 minutes. that way I know I don't fall asleep and it's just roaring for 6 to 9 hours.

- Told the robot to vacuum only the whole apartment, this way it auto-modes without mopping, twice, and tries to cover a bigger area, so anything that has changed; it updates the map apparently.
- Meanwhile, I've done and collected all the laundry, and trash.
- And cleaned some knives and put them on the magnetic rack again
- And finally done some dishes, plates only. Since it was almost all of them.
- Cleaned the floor in the bathroom properly. hopefully to fight those white lines from getting dirty.

More to follow, but eh. tired, backpain, don't care. more tomorrow.

 

[Floris]

- another ten mins of dishes done. Next are pans and mugs

 

[Floris]

- Walked around for 5 minutes, putting little things in their spot. Making it less messy and having less things be in the way.

- Prepared 70% of my veggies for chicken dinner, while chicken was marinating.

- Prepped dinner for a 2 days dish, it's in the fridge now.

- Next dinner will be the remaining 30% veggies with some salmon.

- This buys me time to finish dishes, as it will give me less of them. I finally get to finish the cutlery, ugh, my bed in this low low sink, mah.

- Aired out the apartment for 5 minutes, and run the air purifier before that for 10.

- Since I cleaned the bathroom floor yesterday, I run the robot on 2x + deep mopping , and let it try to do better.

Next for me is the bathroom sink, cleaning the silver stuff in the bathroom so it is shiny again, and finish the kitchen cleaning.

 

[Floris]

I tried to make salmon, wasn't as nice as i hoped, learning curve .. but now, more dishes. kinda glad I food prepped for 2 days, ill have a nice dinner tonight at least.

 

[Joan]

I cook salmon in foil, easy cleaning then!

Did a load of washing this morning, and put that on airer didn't switch it on though, not sure about leaving it on when at work so just put dehumidifier on.

 

[Nix]

Clothes washing is on... next coffee then washing up... didnt get up till noon lol

 

[Floris]

- cleaned the mokka pot, and thaaaat's about it.. oh, I swiffered the hallway, but that was like 30 seconds.

 

[Nix]

Well as always got lots to do but dunno if any of it will get done!!

 

[Floris]

how's the arm?

 

[Joan]

how's the arm?

Problematic! They're coming to test the alarms on the 21st, so I have to have this place cleaned fully by then, which is not easy with a broken arm/wrist. (It's the radius bone that's fractured wrist end)

You can only do what you can do, don't stress too much about it. It's probably a short visit anyway. I wish I could come over and help you.

 

[Joan]

Got a lot to do, but most of the Christmas decorations are now taken down and at least ready to be put away.
Taken rubbish out.
Going to attempt to clear the sofa today and make a start on the washing up.

Realised that I won't be able to change the bedding for a while!

Ok I've overdone it today with the wrist, but got a little of the washing up done before I resorted to the paracetamol.
I went food shopping on way home from work, got a bunch more ready meals.
