Book Review | Housework Blues


Sorry for the quiet couple of days, I won't lie there was my dreadful hangover which dragged on till Monday and yesterday inspired by this weeks read I took on the task of tidying my flat (also suffering a hangover from Saturday night!)

Housework Blues is "a survival guide" on "how to cope with the mental and emotional challenge of keeping a home"
Now don't fear I'm not suffering serious emotional and mental issues to my housework but I do find I can sit around very often doing very little and I'll take all the help I can get!

So far it's interesting, rather like talking to a friend who is offering sensible advice on tackling work that has to be done and if not by someone else by you!

This evening I've arrived home late from work, tidied my flat, washed one load of laundry, put the rubbish out, been to Tesco, made a chilli, washed up, tried on some outfits, paid a bill, ordered some new underwear and wrote this post! Not bad! So far I'd say it's having a positive effect!

Pin It Now!

  4. I could do with that book, there's always something else which I'd rather be doing than housework.
