    I have:
    emptied all bins (hurrah the bin men have been!)
    scrubbed out the kitchen one
    cleaned the oven
    s&s'd the downstairs loo
    emptied and filled the DW
    put the WM on with DS's bedding
    cleaned the kitchen 'worktops'
    and collapsed with a rather nice coffee.

    I think I need to start at the back door and work in though - the place is mostly a tip. At least with all the de-cluttering it is relatively fast to take it back to clean and tidy. The playroom is still clear a week on, as is the boys BR! They are due a small reward for this so we may do some painting this afternoon.
