    Just flitting in to post an update, and then I'll catch up on reading a bit while having a well-earned coffee break!

    Tuesday - Kitchen and Dining day

    Level One
    [STRIKE]Clear and wipe the work surfaces
    Sweep the floor[/STRIKE]
    Level Two
    Clean the oven and hob.
    [STRIKE]Wipe the fronts of appliances and cupboards[/STRIKE]
    [strike]Wipe the table and dress in a clean cloth if required.[/strike]
    Level Three
    [strike]Scrub the sink and shine the taps[/strike]
    [STRIKE]Mop the floor[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]clean out a cupboard.. whichever you fancy..[/STRIKE] well, the tops of all of them...

    It doesn't look as if I've done very much in the hour and a half since the school run, but I have removed everything from the tops of the wall units, shovelled off the dust, washed them, lined with newspaper (thanks valli!) and then replaced only the things I want to keep. I had to do this before I did anything else, as I was standing on the worktops, and the dust goes everywhere too! Pity no-one but me will know I've done it!

    I'll do the rest of the list after coffee.

    I've read pigpen's notice, and pretty much agree with what has been said by mudbath and dusty. I love the friendship and support on this thread, and not only with getting me to clean this house!

    edited because I've done more on the kitchen...

    It is never too late to become what you were always intended to be
