I very often neglect my own home while I’m helping others with theirs… the past month for me has been overwhelming with my daughter’s 21st in Newcastle, followed by a week in bed sick then lots of unexpected travel when sadly my Nan then passed away in Tamworth and her funeral was in Newcastle the week after that. I hadn’t even had a chance to unpack in between trips (in saying that I do have a tendency to live out of my suitcase for quite a while after I get home regardless of good intentions!).
At home I always do my housework in my PJ’s because if I get dressed first 💯 I’m finding ANY excuse to leave the house instead of doing what I need to do at home 🫣
As you can see, I also have a bit of a thing for throw cushions… I really need to list those extras on buy swap sell, but I love how you can change the feel of a room just by playing around with cushions… so they’ll probably just go in the spare room for a little bit longer 🤣 (I have plenty of empty space in the wardrobe, so they won’t be cluttering it up).
In real life this all took me about 50mins for the full clean (but I did forget the ceiling fan… didn’t want to make footprints in my freshly vacuumed carpet for this video, so that can wait til next time 🤣).
P.S. I might be biased, but how beautiful is Tess’ voice in this cover of Olivia Dean’s “Man I Need” 🥰. Tess very rarely practices when anyone else is home, so I don’t get to hear her very often and absolutely love it when she performs at an event so I get to hear her sing. This was from the Meredith Adams Vocal School showcase evening last week, I just recorded it from the audience on my iphone, so it’s not amazing sound quality, but she still sounds fabulous, I’m a very proud Mumma 💖
