Urgh - oven cleaning. Nope. Mine gets a wipe over the grotty bits occasionally and the hob cleaned just often enough that it doesn't get totally impossible to tackle. The grill pan however.....well, I considered grilling sausages for tod in the hole last night....then got out the frying pan and dry-fried instead!
Hah! Have just done a deal with MrEH - I clear out the plughole in the bath (it gets bunged up with hair and soap - _pale_ ) if he cleans the grillpan - now considering I know how bad the grill pan is, trust me, I have the best of this bargain!
The best I can offer in the way of voluntary work is the photos I do for the speedway and rugby clubs, and the beer festival which takes a good deal of our time each August. Neither of them are precisely charitable mind you. We are RSPB members though. :cool:🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡

I frightened the life out of myself last year, by cleaning the oven with one of those cans labelled "only use with a window open" - the smell lasted days, it was horrible. I'll never, ever put something like that near food again - actually, I'll never have it in my house again.
No housework here........ I've spent the TV breaks (on Poirot) finishing the bankings listings for my accounts - got to check the last part against bank chits, but its now 80% done.

Tip for the day, best way to clean oven is to put all shelves etc in the bath with hot water and washing powder. Leave to soak for a couple of hours and then all the [EMAIL="!!!!"]!!!![/EMAIL] comes off nice and easy.
