      Yay, start moving some boxes over 🙂

      Heard from FM963 this morning that one needs to have some ME time no matter how busy she is. The ME time can be some 10-20 min before sleep.

      Starlight,
      I don't mind vacuum, mopping, ironing (2x a week), washing the fans & hanging up laundry...but I just hate cleaning of any kind.
      My ME time is every night after hanging up wet laundry.

      I've used up 40 boxes :faint: and still have so much daily essentials.
      it's hard to believe we will be shifting next week after staying here for 20 years.

      What's your definition of \"cleaning\"? I would classify \"vacuum, mopping, ... washing the fans\" as cleaning! And I dislike all that too!

      It's only when you pack and move that you realise how much stuff you have.

        me time going to do some catch ups at coffee shop after distributing some ‘goodies’. Kinda nice to see many activities around of people getting busy to go work/kids go kindy. Feel fresher recalling my younger time.

          You have packed 40 boxes and still have some more :yikes:
          I am most probably the odd one as I don't think my family has that much. Of course prior to the move, we dumped a lot a lot.

          When I work, I look forward to having ME time.
          When I am on leave, I look forward to returning to work.

          :stompfeet:

            as in taking a cloth and a pail of water to clean table tops, cupboards, windows. I just hate it!
            I like the clothes to be neatly folded. occasionally, I will pull out everything from the cupboards and fold the clothes...and take out the worn out ones. I do the same for the kids.

                I use wet tissues, even for cleaning window grilles and fans, so I am very fast with such chores.

                  For windows, I use vinegar & newspaper. Not those expensive organic vinegar. You can get those distilled vinegar. In fact, once a month, I’ll use a little ginger vinegar for cleaning my full leather couch & sofa.

                      I hardly clean the glass - lucky can't see dirt or dust unless i use my bare hand to rub the glass panels -which I won't . ...& i wait for God's mercy to give me heavy down pour to self clean window glass 😂
                      my ds has quite a lot of lego limited edition n watever robots figures .. we will put the toys in a pail of water of i use gentle shower to shower rinse them, then leave in toilet to self dry for a day . No hard efforts . BUT need to wipe of the dust fr shelves - I will use the dusting paper too .. faster. dh will use a wet cloth n a pail of water ...different cleaning style n efforts . we dun bother each other much , so long its clean up !

                        Ammonite,
                        My aunt found me a part time cleaner.
                        She cleaned all the cupboards and windows today.
                        I am so happy and relieved because it has been bugging me.
                        Will probably look for her to clean up the place after we have unpacked.
