It’s almost midnight and I’ve been panic-cleaning the downstairs of my house for the past 4 hours because we have family visiting tomorrow and of course I’ve spent weeks “putting things away” in all the wrong places.... so now I have to get rid of:

- my pile of coats and blankets from the armchair

- all of the paperwork I “filed” on the kitchen table

- piles of random clothes that I insisted on bringing down from the attic about 2 months ago so I could sort through them all but- after realising that they smelt a bit musty- very confidently brought them all downstairs declaring I would definitely wash them all in one day just to “get it done”

- my sons bikes that I brought in from the shed so I could empty & clean said shed but gave up with it half way through so now we have stuff everywhere in there and the bikes can’t fit anymore...

- a stack of flattened cardboard boxes that I was keeping for ????

- 4 big bags of “stuff” that I’ve accumulated over some weeks and hidden under the kitchen table ready to tidy it all away properly later

- 2 old broken wooden chairs that I was going to fix and paint even though I don’t want or need any extra wooden chairs

- a 5ft teddy bear that I bought for my nephew for Christmas but keep forgetting to take to him even though I see his mum 5 days a week and have to drive past her house four times a day taking/picking up the kids to/from the same school that her other children also attend....

And now, I’m sitting here on my phone, worrying that my boyfriend will be disappointed at how messy the house is because it looks way worse than it did before he went out earlier this evening, but instead of actually carrying on with the tidying, I’m looking at some photos a woman I’ve met literally twice posted on Facebook from her day at a theme park, because I can’t figure out if I’ve been there before and want to see if I recognise any of the rides in her pictures.

Hope you’re all also having a great evening 😂
