At any rate. My plans are made for the coming week, I am excited to see, how they will turn out. Will I do all of them? Some of them? None of them? Already I had an idea of cancelling one of my plans, but I think, I will stick with the original.
By the way, I am trying to not write in so big blocks. Gets hard on the eyes of the reader (you) and that's not very kind or is it?
Anyhow, here goes:

Now as to putting the first load of clothing into the dryer:
I only wanted to dry the bedlinen and other things in the dryer, as my drying rack can't take such big pieces and the drying cellar in my house can be pretty yucky, as one of my neighbour leaves his stuff there for weeks.
Anyway, I somehow manouvered myself into a corner, where I might not have enough clothes to get me through to Friday fully dressed... :-) I'd like to avoid that. I could of course wash earlier, but that would collide with another plan of mine:
Yeah! Another Plan.... :-)
First weekend of the month: do the shopping (groceries) and freeze or cook, what can be prepared
Second weekend of month: do the washing
Third weekend of the month: social time, where I give up my people free weekend to friends and family.
Fourth weekend of month: MINE! No people, not work, not stress, pure bliss.
Of course I will hoover in between and clean after me, do the dishes, when I have cooked, so there will not be so much need to clean all weekend, but I will do the heavy cleaning on the second weekend. I can also check, wether I need cleaning supplies (in the future, I have enough for years) and buy the stuff in the next month. And I can see, if anything has to go be repaired and get that to the proper places on the next first weekend of a month.
Since I know, that I'll be meeting people the next weekend, I can also use the second, to make sure, my clothes are in good order.
I have reduced my clothes considerably and that is part of the reason, I do not have so many clothes at the end of the month. I had since to buy two pairs of pants and bought three tops, as well as ten pairs of longer socks, but now I am set. Everything I have got, I like and I came to the conclusion, that I can actually wear things twice as a rule. Unless of course it was very hot and a lot of sweat was involved. In that case I might have to wash inbetween. BUT: a plan is only good, if it is flexible.
Just as I will buy more milk in the middle of the month. I buy it in bottles and it can only be used for two weeks, so I will stock up on that. All the rest (veggies and fruit) I mostly freeze and the rest I use up in the first two weeks. That's why I bought a super efficient fridge after all.
My one free weekend I will most probably spend in my pjs or my comfy clothes, but I will not dress to go out. So that saves on clothes as well. Also I can review where I have to make changes in the next month, what I need to stock up and what I have to add to use up stuff I have in store.
For instance: I now have a new kitchen applience, a steamer. So I can buy some veggies to fit with the fish I've got and steam them together. I also have a rice cooker, so I can prepare all three components in one go... :) I also have a lot of rice. And some stock is in glasses. Today I fried wax-beans, tomorrow I'll cook them and maybe cook a sweet potatoe. I don't know yet. What I do know:
I have a clip about potatoes that will end this post. I do not own it of course, but I will try and add the owner of the clip.
I copied that from the channel, that I got it from. And I linked the line. So when I tried it, it worked.
Hey, I am getter better with this technical stuff. O.k., I am pretty sure, my 8 year old niece already knows how to do that. BUT: she grew up with all this technical stuff... I didn't. We didn't have computers, when I was eight. And I can't regret that. Though I do not regret having them now.
It both has its good sides...
Cheerio and a happy week ahead!
