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...
