PigpenI could kiss you:j I have a headstart on tommorow.
My bedroom has been my place of pride for the last two weeks at least and I always do the stairs and landing when you tell us to do the hallway (so that was....yesterday) and I think I was complaining about the floordrobe on...Sunday (must check last thread) so now there isn't one.:j
I pretty much did the whole room on Sunday-I think all I have to do is bed.
Im rambling...how sad is my excitement?
Oh well,here comes my list:

Wednesday wishy-washy-wipe!- Master Bedroom & Landing
Level 1

[STRIKE]Clear a cluttered top in your room.. or spend at least 15 minutes doing it[/STRIKE]
Fling open the window and let in the freezing cold wetness.. even if just for half an hour
Level 2

[STRIKE]Dust surfaces & make sure no cobwebs..[/STRIKE]Will do it again though just because its so easy

Michelle - I really like the saying in your signature . . .

"The thing that is really hard, and really amazing, is giving up on being perfect and beginning the work of becoming yourself."

I know I can deal with not being perfect . . . but it's the other people who expect me to be perfect - how do I get them to understand I'm just being myself??? And how can I get them to understand that it's ok not to be perfect??

***sigh*** :rolleyes:

DeniseNZ you should make your addon your signature. See what happens when we get each other thinking;)

polka noticed you said earlier that you had used acetic acid on your loo. I don't know where you bought this from, but it is the scientific name for vinegar. Just thought i would mention it in case you are paying over the odds for something Same as i am supposed to use citric acid to descale my steam steriliser, but i always use white vinegar, same with descaling the kettle. Thanks also to whoever suggested hot vinegar for cleaning the loo - i could boil in the kettle, and then pour down the loo - genius :money:

Night Night - hope you all have sweet dreams, and as the only scientist here (i think) - i am pretty sure the world won't end tomorrow either. They might end up burning up most of the area it is in, but i think we are far enough away.

take care ladies - see you tomorrow. x

I thought so too,DF uses it at work-what I got was the stand alone stuff in its pure form which is an ingredient in vinegar. It reeks worse than amonia but worked so much faster than the vinegar did. At any rate-it was brought home from work so it was a saving;)
Thanks for the mention though, I know lots of people dont know it-I hope LO lets you get a good night sleep:)

Soappie you say that summer is gone , apparently, we are meant to have an indian summer mid September but we will have to wait and see.

Polkadot-what runners. Saying that I only have one drawer in my kitchen.

Well noticed that today is Main bedroom which is great as I can do 2 hours of work while DD and DS are at playschool. It is so nice to be able to know I can get things done without the interruption of "Mummy (in a whiny voice)I'm hungry" or "Mummy, Can I......"

Have even manage to have the TV on a lot less as well.

Spent a lot of last night trying to re organise the living room and trying to sort out the bedroom. Now all I need to do is get round to it.
