    Does anyone have any tips on how to lightly clean/wipe over a leather sofa and chair that are not that dirty but look like they need a wipe. I don't know what to use on leather and I don't want to ruin them! Ta![/quote]


    baby wipes are brilliant i use them all the time fedupandskint and they are cheap they dont hurt babies and they wont hurt your leather

    Morning all (just)

    One load of washing on the line, it's a lovely day again.

    The kitchen has been totally cleaned.
    I've damp-wiped the living room and vacuumed right through downstairs.

    I vacuumed the landing and round the empty back bedroom again. Then cleaned the window in that bedroom. Very dusty from taking the carpet up etc.

    Asda shopping has been delivered and all put away.

    Took the dog out.

    Swept the pavement outside the back of the house by the road. It was so messy with McD's wrappers etc. None of it mine, but it was really annoying me so I swept it up and put it all in the bin. Why are people so messy? There was broken glass and everything.

    And I've watched Being Human.

    Off to catch up, hope everyone's OK.

    Oh, and I've ordered the blind for the bedroom and the carpet man is coming to measure up this afternoon. Good job I'm rich ;)

    Hi, I'd like to join as I hate housework (and wish I was rich so I could have a cleaner!) but I'm not sure if I'll be able to keep up :o my house is such a pit I don't know where to begin!

    Firstly, I don't know how to put a Christmas tree on and I don't know how to do that crossing through thing :confused:

    I'll come back later and left you guys know what I've managed to do (do I included all compulsory jobs to?)
  • Wow that went quickly! Am worn out now! Going to have a little break, and try another one at 12:30.
    In my HHC I...
    moved everything from LR floor to bed, so I don't have to bend down too much
    tidied armchairs and sofa
    filed some work stuff

    and all that took half an hour! There is a lot of stuff on the bed now! During next HHC i will tackle that. Also need to wash up and hang out washing to dry.
