Yesterday was a busy day. I woke up at 6am, had breakfast quickly and then I went to work. I finished at noon and then ate some lunch. Afterwards I drove to the shops, bought some paint and then painted my bedroom. My housemate came home from work so I helped him paint his room, then we repaired his chair as it wobbled a lot. I wished I hadn’t, as I hurt my hand! After that I cleaned my house. I vacuumed all the downstairs and then tidied up the living room and the kitchen. I was pretty tired by then so I ate some dinner, yawned, and went to bed!
