You may feel that you know someone, perhaps in your family, that thinks every day is ‘No Housework Day’! But did you know that April 7th is the official celebration of National No Housework Day? If you ever needed the opportunity to put your feet up and put all those boring chores to one side, April 7th is it. Perhaps indulge in some beauty treatments, go for a long morning run or spend some time with the family. Whatever you choose just make sure you make the most of it and use your time wisely to do anything but housework!
If there’s one quote that should summarise your approach to No Housework Day it’s this one; “today I will be cleaning, by that I mean drinking wine and spraying everything with fabreze!”
Plan ahead
If you’re a real clean freak make sure you get all those little jobs and must do chores done in advance so you can fully relax on Thursday without worrying about that pile of dishes or floor that needs hoovering.
How to Celebrate No Housework Day
- Put those feet up! Whether you indulge in a movie marathon or have a date with your favourite box set, switch on, tune in and chill out.
- Get out of the house. Enjoy a long walk in the countryside or a day out at the beach.
- Hit the shops. If retail therapy is your thing, then what better time to go on a spending spree.
- Take a relaxing bubble bath or a dip in the hot tub with a glass of your favourite bubbly.
- Get lost in a book. With all that free time pick up a best seller and get lost in another world.
- Treat yourself to a spa day. Whether you prefer a massage, a manicure or just relaxing in a hot steam, indulge yourself for the day.
- Let someone else do all the work, treat yourself to lunch and dinner at your favourite restaurants.
- Why not get together with all your friends and host a No Housework Day celebration?
However, you decide to spend the day, make sure you relax. You deserve it! Tell the family you’re taking the day off. Until April 8th that is!
