I’m really not too good at cleaning, I had it going for a while in the summer. With University and work, I decide to sit down at 8 on my computer rather than clean. I need to change it, I actually want to. I do enjoy cleaning once I start… I just need to start.

Who knew I’d turn into someone who gave a crap about how my house looks? I’m fairly sure I never did a honest days worth of chores at my folks house. Now? Now, I’m grabbing my vinegar, microfibre cloth and scrubbing the mirror clean, getting excited about new vacuums and complaining about dust.
My mum would be proud. (And annoyed that I never helped out as a child.)
I’m attempting to come up with a list of daily/weekly/monthly chores that I must …
