    Yay its the holidays :j :j Ds has gone to his dads and I've decided to start on blitzing the flat. Hopefully I'll get a couple of rooms done today and then am going shopping tomorrow before a big night out tomorrow night :D

    Right, first stop, the kitchen cupboards ....

    One hour in and so far I have tackled the cupboard under the sink, the cutlery drawer and the big corner cupboard, and I have managed to half fill a bin liner already :o:o God knows how I crammed so much carp in there :D It does feel as though I've done loads already but actually that isn't much at all :o Right, off to start the plate cupboard then its the food ones and they will be horrible :rolleyes:

    Two hours in and I've just finished the last cupboard in the kitchen :j :j Each one has been wiped out and all the contents have had to prove they really need to stay, I'm now half way through the second bin bag ;) Just got to do the surfaces, behind the microwave, the extractor thingy :eek: and then the floor, then thats one room done :D:D

    I've done one kitchen cupboard, but I am saving the rest until I am devoid of MSE :D

    Right, kitchen is done :D:D (Well, apart from the oven and the fridge but that will have to be another day :o ) ... I honestly thought it would only take me about an hour, so am guessing the project of deep-cleaning the whole flat is gonna take more than one evening :rolleyes: :o Still, thats one room down, several more to go. I'm not yet sure which room to tackle next, the lounge shouldn't actually be too bad, its the bedrooms that will be the hard bit. Gonna mooch on here for a little while first before it disappears :D

    Wow, I'm impressed with what you've got done - and after being at work for a week! I'm usually just ready to drop on a friday evening. You'll get loads done at this rate this weekend:D
    I really need to sort out a new signature!

    I won't Milly, I'm trying to get as much started tonight as I know I won't get much done tomorrow; I'm going shopping in the morning for something to wear tomorrow night and for my brothers birthday present, then have to pop in to my mums, then food shopping, then try to fit in the gym, then bath / sort out my eyebrows etc before night out :rolleyes: :D So I reckon the house blitzing will come to a grinding halt after tonight :o

    I have done the lounge now too, theres not much furniture in there and I'd already done the guinea pigs as soon as I came home today as they were beginning to smell :o Just need to do a bit more dusting in there and then hoover :D

    Bathroom shouldn't take very long and the hall is just really sorting out the shoe cupboard which again shouldn't take long, which then leaves the two bedrooms, and on sunday I want to do a couple of trips to the tip with junk from the garage before ds comes back, so I have to keep going tonight while the motivation is still with me ;) Have a great weekend everyone if I don't "speak" to you all till sunday again :D:D:D
