I've been reeking of garlic (and, embarrassingly, sweat) all morning and lolling around in bed shamelessly avoiding uni obligations. House is a dumpster. Well, I'm done with being gross now... time to start with the mountain of chores to bring this place back to sanity.

Lol. I've got stuff on the floor in every room but I have tidy cupboards and drawers. Throwing out a heap of shit. I found napisan that expired in 2014. Everytime I mark something off my list I add another 2 things to it. I feel ya. 💜

Life is a battle against entropy.

We've had a clear out of the child's room... 5 trips to the op shop and I still have 2 boxes to take, and filling up a 3rd. And I'm about to tackle the plastics drawer and that dreaded 3rd cutlery drawer...

Napisan expires?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

The active ingredient degrades slowly over time. Nothing bad will happen if it’s used, it just won’t be effective in whitening clothes. So the manufacturer puts an expiry date, mostly so people don’t complain ‘it didn’t work’

The expiry date also 'helps' people to buy the product more often.

Ah ha and it's 3 kgs and it's still half full because I don't use it except for the occasional pillowcase.

Must be the day for it. I’ve been putting stuff off and now need to just bite the bullet and get it done
