Huge recommend for @ellypear on Instagram who is a freezer/left over cooking ninja and has reels for days on what to do with everything you could possibly imagine, including heaps on using up rando stuff in your freezer and organising it.

Make a death file. Ideally in a pocket type folder. Keep essential documents in it like your will, mortgage details (along with any protection cover), pension information, car documents, work HR contact details etc. Let your loved ones know where it is. Sounds morbid but I’m hoping that it will prove useful for anyone I leave behind.

An excellent list. I shall start by making a list of people I can condescendingly forgive, as I can do that sitting down ....

This is the best stack I’ve read in ages!!! Love these prompts to do the things we know need doing but are dancing around the edges of our brains. Can I add go through your medicine box and sort it throwing away expired items, same with vitamins and supplements. AND the junk drawer. I really need to get my arse into gear with Vinted. But I have the same lethargy and inertia about it as I do about my still incomplete tax return

Sort post and file important stuff like council tax bills, pension statements etc

Dear Rebecca and Claire, what a fantastic post - possibly one of the best posts I have read on this platform. Thank you so much for your efforts with the helpful pointers - so very appreciated especially since I’ve fallen into a rut with my to do list. Lisa (Australia)

I totally did the make-up brush thing AND cleared out my underwear drawer and ordered a bunch of new undies and it felt GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD

Can we condescend while forgiving and vibrate with fury simultaneously? Preferably at about 3am?

This is Claire’s piece not mine but I’m going to say yes. Vibrations good and healthy in a winter as cold as this 🙏. Becks x

I feel blessed and empowered. I’m going to look in my big red book of ‘Those who have crossed me’ and pick a candidate. Item ticked off!

The condescending forgiveness is the one for me!

I feel like you read my mind! This is my last few weeks in a nutshell.

Cleaning your make up brushes! Always a good task we forget to do. Can be done in the shower whilst you wait for your hair mask to soak in too!
