    Most machines have a door thing on the front of the machine to access and clean out the filter.. if yours doesn't have one you don't have to do it!!

    Here's hoping I don't find one then!

    Minging Monday - Kitchen and Dining Room
    Level One
    Clear and wipe kitchen surfaces
    Level Two
    Sweep and mop floors
    Sort & clean fridge bringing what needs using soon to the front, clean out any spills or grots in there!
    Wipe dining table.. (clean table cloth if necessary)
    Level Three
    Dust any extra furniture in dining area, checking for cobwebs on way round
    Wipe and replace all those small appliances.. kettle, toaster etc
    Wipe all the windows in these areas!!
    Clean cupboard door fronts and fronts of appliances .. don't forget those kick boards..
    Check those washing machine filters and drawers for ickiness!! Tumble dryer, cooker hood and dishwasher filters need to be done too!!
    Extra Mission : help yourself :D
    1. clean the hob.. :D
    2. Wipe down any tiles and shine those taps.. a toothbrush is great for cleaning away the gunk!
    3. 29 fling boogie.. GO!
    4. buy yourself some flowers from the shop.. your reward for making the kitchen shine!
    5. [STRIKE]Empty the bin.. wash it out.. and make it smell SWEET[/STRIKE]
    Anyone want to buy a dutch barge in France? In-laws had one on ebay, just finished but didn't sell but then it was a bit of a fish ad.

    Right kitchen is very do-able for me tomorrow. I'm going to make sure I keep up with it all this week (didn't do too badly last week actually!) I'm also going to make sure I post a lot more (which could be counter-productive :rotfl: ) because I want my second medal :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:so only about 56 posts to go :D

    Ok, having been away for 10 days on holiday I'm also in as minging Monday doesn't even cover it!

    As I will be out at work from 8am - 6pm tho, I'll just do level 1 and one of each from all the others. Started back on OS today (when we landed) and cooked a big veggie curry so leftovers for tea tomorrow which should free some time up for me to do some cleaning.

    Should be able to sit down from 8.30 - just before I collapse into bed as still shattered from holiday!

    After 4 years of heartache, 3 rounds of IVF and 1 loss :A - we are finally expecting our miracle Ki11en - May 2014 :j

    And a VERY surprise miracle in March 2017!

    When Mudbath does apply herself she usually attains a high level of flying, however, her lengthy absenses due to accident and illness mean her overall attainment is very, very low. For this reason we are putting her on report and if she doesn't reach at least level two every day she will be suspended with the view to expulsion. :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Expulsion from flying?????????? Can this happen and if so why are we not the biggest brats in the class
    LBM Feb 2010 £62,700 Total Debt Jan 11 [STRIKE]£49,403.84[/STRIKE] £47,530.32.
    (CC/LOAN = [STRIKE]36,378.98[/STRIKE] 35668.47. O/D = [STRIKE]1255.32[/STRIKE] 1212.35/[STRIKE]1999.78[/STRIKE] 1934.52, BUS = [STRIKE]9769.76[/STRIKE] 8714.98)
    Challenge = Debt at 31/01/12 = £25k. 2011 Payments = £1,944.19/£24,403.84

    There is no point in negative thought, it takes up time and energy which could be used in a positive, happy way!
