After much procrastination and resentment I have done the dishes. I HATE DOING DISHES SO MUCH. Especially using gloves and not quite noticing a slight sheen of oil on spoon handles… ugh. Is this my life for the next 24 weeks?!
Seriously considering a second-hand tabletop dishwasher if I can chuck it in the “laundry cupboard” on top of the washing machine… there’s extra taps and an extra power outlet… anyone with experience of these?
Yep agree. The loo isn’t really that bad, assuming it’s just you using it (or at least people you can tell at and shame for leaving a mess). I’m also not fond of mopping though
The last few months the old LT was here we worked out an agreement where I would vacuum all the floors, and he would mop them all. That was amazing
Ooft, yeah, I feel you. This new place doesn’t have a dishwasher, and after having a dishwasher for the best part of 4 years, I really don’t want to go back. Strongly considering saving my bikkies and buying a benchtops dishwasher. If you have the financial situation, I say absolutely go for it. 24 weeks isn’t forever, but it’s also long enough that I personally would look at what options are available
Make sure you carefully check all the dimensions though. While I was away in June/July, our (full size) dishwasher was broken and replaced with one ever so slightly smaller, but also bulkier/with less internal space. We have 3 plates that do not fit in the dishwasher unless at the very edge. It drives me irrationally angry, and I’ve seriously considered taking the 3 plates into the shed and pretending it’s a rage room. I had somehow never even noticed they were bigger before

I spent many of my younger years as a dishwasher in kitchens.
I feel your pain.
Dishes are my least fav chore. Rather scrub the loo.

buy disposable cutlery and dishes
if you are concerned for waste and the environment buy paper
and then remember you will be saving water by not washing , which is a good thing
