    Hi all

    I have been a bit lax in updating when I have completed tasks but this time I not only completed but I got down on hands and knees to clean the floor properly... nothing like a bit of old fashioned hard cleaning!

    Measly Monday - Kitchen and dining room

    Clear and wipe worksurfaces
    Scrub down the front of units and large appliances
    Level Two
    Wipe and replace small appliances
    Clean oven and hob
    Wash window sill
    Level Three
    Wipe the table and chair... one chair complete (leather cleaner) 5 more to be properly cleaned with leather cleaner but have been wiped down with clean cloth!
    Sweep and mop the floor - OH YES... 5 changes of water thanks to doing it on hands and knees... really deep clean
    Degunge the fridge!


    Extras
    1. Thoroughly clean the cupboard under the sink!
    2. Run the WM's and DW's through a clean cycle - DW Broken! grrr
    3. Clean all the filters and door seals etc
    4. Wipe the back door down.. inside..
    5. Clean both radiators in kitchen... they sparkle now!
    6. My M.A.C.A.W challenge this week is to upload books, toys, dress pattern and Elemis onto e-Bay...
    Well lets see - I dip in and out of MSE all the time but I still come back - have done since 2007!!!

    Two hours later, I have an understairs cupboard that you can walk into again. I've also discovered I have enough wrapping paper for the next 2 Christmases I think!

    Am going to finish the living room now (there was no point in doing it until the cupboard was done, because everything had to come out into there to be sorted and put back).

    Hope the dentist was OK Dusty.

    Thank you for the list Soappie, lucky I did the living room then! My understairs cupboard is still OK since I did it a week or two ago.

    Hope Toots is OK too.

    Washing all dry and put away and dinner is cooking.

    Back to catching up.

    Wit40 how on earth did you do Tuesdays list in 6 minutes?

    Mainly as I did it last night and this morning... so only when I saw what was on the list could I update it... I have nothing in the hall or landing so it really is a matter of cleaning the light fittings, plug sockets and vacuum/mop... I have no clutter... if I see any I either throw it away or put it away.... keeping this place tidy is my No.1 mission!

    Hi All,

    I'm new to this thread and need all the help I can get - it's either that or I will be buying a large box of matches, ha!

    Can I start from tomorrow, guess from reading others posts, that a list is posted? Will check back tomorrow, and here is my tree for being a newbie :xmastree:
