Day In The Life

Hey, I think everyone should be able to tell what this post is just by the title...yep, day in the life of me!
*Little disclaimer, I was planning this post before #BEDM started so the pics are from a day off I had over half term a few weeks back.

7:00 As always, I start my day with a cup of tea, can't start it any other way! I was trying to go dairy free for a while, but it just doesn't work for me so I am now back to my skimmed milk in the mornings!

7:15 Then brekkie, my go to breakfast for the past few months has been this porridge, I love it :) However with the weather getting a little warmer I may have to switch to something else..

8:00 After all that is consumed I go and make my bed, luckily I got there before the cat this time, although he did manage to get there before I could place all the cushions!

8:30 Then, and I know its my day off, and I'm not going anywhere, but I still need a little glow.. Make up time!

10:00 Normally every Sunday I clean my make up brushes, but we'd had a late one that week so I did it today instead

12:15 Now for a spot of lunch whilst catching up with some of my favourite YouTubers' not healthy I know, but I was dealing with a bit of a hangover!

16:00 FINALLY the delivery I had to wake up super early for arrives..but doesn't it look lovely?!

16:30 Now that I don't have to listen for the door, I can have a bit of a pamper, a nice relaxing bath and face mask is in order!

19:00 Dinner Time!! Nice carb filled meal to try and get me back to normal :S

And I'm sorry guys, but after consuming that massive bowl of pasta I fell asleep on the sofa!!

I know this was not an exciting day at all, maybe one day I'll do a day in the life, when I actually do something in the day!!

Laundry love.

Hey guys,

I am a complete addict of to-do lists, and schedules, I love knowing what I need to accomplish that day and when by.
Yes, some may say that's a little sad, but it certainly helps my days go smoother!

One thing that I need to schedule is my house chores, and I need to do that or they just won't get done, I have been on and off ill the past few weeks, and one major area that suffered is our laundry, if you follow me on Twitter or Instagram you will have seen a few days ago I posted a pic of our laundry situation.

Dire right?! The worst is, I still had another full laundry basket waiting as well! (please tell me that it's not only me this happens to??!)
I used to follow flylady's routine, of 'a load a day, keeps chaos away' and it worked, I would get up every weekday and put a load of laundry on before work, however, I now have a job that starts a lot earlier and to be honest, I don't really fancy getting up at 5 just so I can put on some laundry!
As much as I dislike the earlier mornings, it does mean I finish earlier, much earlier in fact.

I have had a sit down and devised a schedule that I'm going to trial for 3 weeks and see how it works out.

So, there are a few days that I just cannot schedule anything else in, but I think it'll still work as I can easily do 2 loads when I get home on the days that I have scheduled in.

Tuesdays - Towels and linens, by linens I mean and blankets that may need a wash, tea towels, cushion covers if needed etc

Thursdays - Clothes, pretty self explanatory!

Fridays - Bedding, I love putting clean bedding on for the weekend!

Weekend - Work clothes, basically any clothes we need before the wash on thursday, (Mainly thinking of the Fiance here!)

I think that should work out well, but like I said I'll give it a trial :)

I would love to hear about how you guys tackle the laundry mountain!

Until next time ..... Kimberley xx
