Concentrate on tidying one room at a time - go through it and put stuff away. Take a binbag with you for everything you're going to through out and a box for the stuff that needs re-homing elsewhere in the house (and possibly another box for charity shop donations). You've got 4 days, so you can get 4 rooms sorted pretty thoroughly without spending all your time on it!

Once things are tidy, you can then have a quick hoover and wipe over the surfaces so that it's reasonably clean... and when you get back you can start the lists properly and you'll soon have every room deep cleaned

Thanks greenbee it's times like these I forget about back to basics and boxes and stuff! Your suggestion is a great help, thanks again!

Hugs and get well soon wishes for the poorly ones.

:bdaycake:Happy birthday to boddy's mum!

I've been the only one up for hours - and I have done absolutely no flying (well, apart from a little tidying up in the livingroom and kitchen), but have been reading and catching up on here. As soon as OH has finished breakfast I'm cleaning the kitchen - not today's room, but I like to get it done on Monday.

The sun is shining, so I plan on spending the rest of the day outside, except for a quick shopping trip - DS1 is 19 tomorrow! I have ordered the things he wants, but as yet none has arrived, so I'm going to get some little things so he has something to unwrap.

ps froddington - I was a mad keen fan of Duran Duran the first time round, and saw them a few times including a Prince's Trust concert. I gave my entire collection (including rare imports) to Oxfam about a week before they released a new album...DS1 hasn't yet forgiven me... I also went to see Dire Straits who were fantastic. I took my brother to that one, and he missed his English Language O level.

Breakfast done swim bags packed wm just beeping as i type. Got the bedding i changed last week washed and dried yesterday and all put away ready to go back on bed after the next changeover.

Have to unload then reload the dw as i think dh has forgotten how to do this.
He thinks cups plates and bowls are sorted by the midnight fairy and seeing as he works nights he never sees her!!

How can one man and one child make so much destruction to one tidy kitchen in a couple of hours. I would not mind but he reheated dinner his mum had cooked. I thought he had made dinner for the block!!!

Oh well moan over this wont peg the washing out. Oh by the way yesterday on pne of my pegging sessions i found some spider eggs on my washink line. They were laid in perfect lines and looked really cool. I felt awful removing them but i could not risk them hatching all over my nice clean clothes.

Have a great day i will be back later to report how much stuff i put on ebay. Managed to freecycle the sky box though.

Happy Birthday to your mum boddy x

DW is on, kitchen cleaned, recycling put in the box, cat carrier out the utility and lined with paper and a towel ready for our swift trip to the vets, litter tray scooped, and now seeing as littley has just surfaced, I'm off upstairs to make the beds and fling open the windows.

Then I'll get out the lawnmower......

Triker-glad you managed to get out and have a meal with DH last night. Ignore the idiot. Does annoy me when people open there mouth with thinking. i hate the saying "Never mind it may never happen" Heard that a few times when my sister was in hospital etc :rolleyes: Some people don't think but they aren't worth it.
