Orkney.. I'm sorry you are leaving us but hope you have picked up some tips here which will help you in the future.. I spend too much time doing stuff other than cleaning too because some things are more important..

Oh yeah I have got some good tips and have found it useful in here! It is with regret I leave but am having to be realistic. When my back is good I fit lots in no bother, but when its bad, well, its not really worth trying much more than basic dailies and housekeeping! I am trying to save energy for DS and playing with him, as he is only wee once.
Byyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :wave: :wave:

I was going to come here and have a moan and ask for inspiration. I've spent 2 hours scrubbing my oven and I'm only about 60% through it. It's really getting me down as I seem to get no-where with it. (kept this in to keep it on topic )

Mine gets like that. Nothing seems to want to shift it! So in the end I go with a metal scouring pad :rolleyes:

Mudbath...sorry to hear that

I'm getting nowhere fast here! However at least I've eaten which is a start.

Struggling to get much done today as took dd2 to toddler group which wiped out most of the morning, and she was very clingy this afternoon.

Will have a good go at the kitchen later on when making tea, the 2 older ones entertain the little one after school which will give me a good run at the kitchen and sorting tea
Did my cupboard/appliance fronts on friday when I mopped up plus did the hob. Think the oven will have to wait till next week. But will try for a quick swish of the hob and floor.
