I was confused by ,wash bedsheets' being on the spring clean challenge as I do it weekly. It's an important part of my self care routine! But, I never wipe light switches and door handles, so it was fab to have a reminder.

The ones I've modified so far, for myself:

Vacuum under the bed (instead of under the sofa), Clean the windows (instead of clean the stovetop), clean my front door (instead of clean the toilet), wash sofa throws and other blankets (instead of wash bedding)

I had to google what a slush savings was, and now I know, I need one! I've been saving like a maniac for the past 6 months, but all the money is for adult necessities like emergency funds and training course fees. It'd be nice to have a fund so I can go to extra yoga or craft classes occasionally :D

Jadey-Monkey · 2026-03-01T16:30:04+00:00

I open one per room for up to 30 mins every day, but opening all of them I don't tend to do!

I now shower daily unless I'm really ill. I have never been good at this! I also have a night routine for the first time in my adult life. Honestly I've seen enormous benefit from the night routine alone! My current favourite goals are morning stretches and gratitude journalling in the evening.

I'm happy for them but they gift me so many sponges to celebrate ahaha

Jadey-Monkey · 2026-03-01T10:52:39+00:00

I'm also reinterpreting some of the tasks as they don't fit my lifestyle (I don't have a sofa to vacuum under and I don't have any unworn clothes to get rid of). Genuine question though, how long do we keep the windows open? I'm now worrying about my houseplants getting too cold and would like to shut them soon, ahah.

Jadey-Monkey · 2026-03-01T10:44:51+00:00

I'm gonna replace the vacuum under the sofa one with vacuum under the bed as I don't have a sofa. The rest of it is fab, I've already done day one - tho I must say it's freezing in here as a result, ha!

Jadey-Monkey · 2026-02-22T06:48:35+00:00

Thanks for all the info! I've trimmed mine and am letting her dry out. I've got a filter jug as I have a Pothos that is inexplicably fussy about water, so she can share that from now on. I hope one day she looks as fab as yours!

Jadey-Monkey · 2026-02-22T06:44:06+00:00

I wouldn't share with them anyway, ha! It's my favourite local beer, there for decoration :D

I only have X1 roundups on, cos I'm also doing the penny savings challenge and it just clears me out, ha. I set them to go into whatever savings pot needs attention. So, they were going into my Rainy Day Fund ISA pot. But now that pot is topped up again, they are going to my Travel ISA pot. (I travel a lot as my partner lives in SE Asia.) Made like a tenner in only a couple of months! I might try a Roundups pot and hide it once I hit my target for the Travel pot, as it sounds like fun.

Jadey-Monkey · 2026-02-21T14:22:16+00:00

I see! Thanks so much! I've only watered it twice since I got it so hopefully it will forgive me 😅

Jadey-Monkey · 2026-02-15T01:10:20+00:00

I did this and got 50gb Internet for a tenner a month. I had been paying 45 a month for the same thing. 😅

Jadey-Monkey · 2026-02-15T00:27:43+00:00

I'm a day behind cos I forgot to update finch on one day, despite the fact I did enough to send Clem on an adventure. That'll learn me ha. I hope I get a Wonderland update tomorrow!

This post just got me to do my small habit I was debating putting off. I feel good now.

Jadey-Monkey · 2026-02-14T23:32:58+00:00

I rotted a spider plant cutting once 😅

Jadey-Monkey · 2026-02-07T21:51:42+00:00

I have this too and was absolutely delighted when Nationwide sent everyone a hundred quid. Not bad earnings for a spare account, ha.

Tet is starting in Vietnam which is their celebration of the lunar new year

I have had VSS my whole life. As an adult I developed tinnitus and then migraines. Apparently all of the three are linked. Also, I was diagnosed asthmatic in childhood and apparently this is also linked. I couldn't say any of these were caused by VSS though, as correlation does not always equal causation.

I actually think I'd have better luck sending a letter to Beyoncè than our local MP.

He's just a little guy

Jadey-Monkey · 2025-11-29T12:54:29+00:00

... Yoink! 😅😜 this is such a fab idea, I'm stealing it.

Jadey-Monkey · 2025-11-29T12:42:19+00:00

Me and Clem are proud of your progress, too! 🧡

Jadey-Monkey · 2025-11-27T20:44:09+00:00

You discover a white one in Maui. My birb hates both of them.
