A Glimpse Into A Day In My Mind

my 2 goals today

Giving you a A Glimpse Into A Day In My Mind, On Sunday, I shared the above image over on my Facebook page, with the text

I do like to feel I have achieved my daily goals. I have been busy with other things to the extent C is looking at me with what now 🤣🤣

My brain is working over time today. I might even share in a blog post it is to do with curtain rails that fall down, no drill blinds no nails and foam drain cleaners. You can see why C is looking at me that way now

Sundays are always lazy days in our house. If we have no plans we just potter about doing the odd bits, or chilling with a box set. This Sunday my husband was watching the Grand Prix and I was bored. Which meant poor C got my attention.

Idea Number 1

With 5 adults in our house, and only me who seems able to clean the bathroom, it is left to me to deal with all the horrible bits as well. I have noticed that the sink plug hole is not draining properly and I am forever clearing the shower one which is easy as lifts out.

I have a love of trying new ideas and after seeing something on one of those facebook ads for a foam cleaner. You spray in one area and it pushes out all the dirt and grime, I wanted to try it.

On Sunday, I decided I needed to have it. So went searching and found it but did not want to pay over £30. I went on Amazon and found what I thought was the same thing for a fraction of the price. It was delivered yesterday, tried it straight away, then got very upset it did not work. My husband looked and gave me that look while laughing at me, what I had actually purchased was a cleaner for expanding foam

Since we had replacement windows put in, we have had problems with C’s curtains. One side we can not drill in or fix anything to that area of the wall. Recently the curtains fell down, and I did a makeshift with putting them onto the voile rail. Quite impressed it has worked.

On Sunday, leaving my husband in peace, I go into C’s room and said I have had an idea. Her face was priceless. I went onto say I have just been looking at no drill blinds. You clip them into your window frame, who knew these were a thing.

We measured her window and found blinds to fit, I then got very confused with the fittings after reading reviews. So now back to our original plan that involves no nails to fix wood to her wall and attach the curtain rail.

There was more

I did have more ideas, I am very dangerous when I get an idea and my husband is busy. I leave him in peace to watch the Grand Prix and give him a few hours peace and quiet. He hates it when I say I have had an idea as it usually means something totally impractical.

Do you have ideas like this?

    1. They do seem like a great idea, but when I read the reviews the fixings were wrong for the type of frame, so worth doing a bit of research first

  1. This sounds so much like me! My husband just rolls his eyes and lets me get on with my crazy ideas now, knowing that he will be sorting out the mess after! He puts up with a lot from me lol

  2. Yes I do have ideas like that haha. I actually used vinegar and bicarb to clear the sink and it worked really well. I boiled a kettle, poured that down there, then a cup of bicab and a cup of vinegar and left it 20 minutes and then poured more kettled boiled boiling water down and it cleared so that was a cheap idea.

  3. Hahaha, I used to be just like this! I now just leave it all to my hubby and enjoy the lazy day myself.

  4. Sundays are lazy days here too and I always seem to come up with random ideas of things that need doing.
    In theory that foam cleaner sounds amazing, such a shame it didn’t work. Good luck with getting a curtain rail up in C’s room. My fella feels the same when I say I have an idea and the kids always go running because I usually rope them in to helping with my mad plans. lol x

    1. I am glad its not just me,maybe it is a mum thing haha.

      I have not given up on the foam cleaner, have found it on amazon a lot cheaper but have to wait a month, I expect same day or next day. I will let you know when I have tried it

  5. A couple of years I attempted to fit a roller blind in my sons bedroom. I carefully measured it and then sawed the inner metal roller only to dicover that I was exactly 10cm out!

  6. I get severe anxiety and think of too many things at once,i set myself a lil list a day and if i do just 2-3 items on it,im happy
