    Wobblebottom - huge well done, I am so impressed :j :beer: :T .
    Took me months to get mine as clean as that, and believe me I hate cleaning just as much as you do.

    You need to do 15 minutes a day to keep it there. Don't have the fag till you have done it! I am not allowed on the computer till the dishwasher is on or the dogs are fed. I don't go to bed till the sink, worktops and bathroom are wiped. Takes minutes but keeps me on top of it :A .

    Lynz - my vote has to be for wobblebottom as well.

    Way to go wobble, wow seriously impressed. My day didn't go as well. You know that huge heap of stuff on my bed - well its still there. Will have to kick it off and start again tomorrow. OH just asked am I taking children out as its their holiday too - I don't think so - at least till this house is sorted. Will have a good purge tomorrow. Anyway, kids didn't starve to death, I did feed them - Nix - how old is yours - like the plan. Will try tomorrow!

    The plumber was here a long time, we have weird central heating apparently - I blame Barratts! Anyhow I have a new toilet to be fitted tomorrow, finally so I hope I don't have to keep making coffee all day, again and can get going.

    Wobble you are an inspiration and your drawers look wonderful Penelope. Keep up the good work all xx

    Well the kitchen is DONE completely :rotfl: It was meant to just be the drawers but I ended up doing the LOT. Finished at 5.30 when OH got in. Took some before photos and I'll take after photos tomorrow when I've done all the washing up from tea/breakfast and got the stubbon marks off the floor ;)

    Tomorrow I need to attack the fridge (its kept in the livingroom) and then I should do something with DD .... like play Disney Monopoly as we've already been through the books and toys :j Plus it will be a good reward for her running to the Co-op tomorrow with me for milk and cardboard boxes for the charity shop stuff thats starting to escape from the understairs cupboard.

    Must say before I go though :

    WAY TO GO Wobblebottom!!!!!

    Today I've decided to put DD BEFORE the housework, save the washing up ;) I can easily clean out the fridge after tea as it just needs a few bits throwing out probably and a good wipe out. We're still going to the Co-op but we'll go at lunch time so I can call in and speak to our landlady at work. ;)

    I love challenges and I'm a bit peed off that I'm missing this one :( I haven't even been OS this week (never mind the 'extra' stuff like this challenge) because me and mr troo are going out every day this week (I think we're going to Exeter today - I can't remember, anyone seen my diary? lol).

    So, I will do this challenge next week, all by myself :rotfl:
