    :xmastree: Hello, its about time I learnt my manners and said hello :hello:

    I started flying mid July after we moved home and I stopped having a cleaner ... it was a bit of a shock :eek:at first, but week by week, the list has made it just a bit easier :rolleyes:, most days I complete most of the levels ... even dh has stopped muttering about needing a cleaner ..

    Since we are on the subject, losing the cleaner has so far saved me £420 :eek:so I bought me an iRobot vacuum cleaner (£300:eek:) which is fab, and worth every penny ;)

    anyhoo - hello from me, and since half term was a complete waste of time cleaning wise, I will crack on tomorrow morning.

    :j have a good week all :j

    Thanks to pigpen, toots and soappie for keeping the thread going. I'm in again this week.

    Target is to try hard, sticking to my new dailies list (in my diary - too long to post here) and completing at least level one in each room (+ a few extras).

    I'll have to settle for posting just an update in the evenings this week and maybe read the last page of the thread, but not more.

    Here goes:

    Monday~ Kitchen of Grot and Dining Room of Gloom
    Level One
    Declutter and mop/vacuum the floors
    Find and wipe the worksurfaces
    Level Two
    Wipe the big appliances and units.. don't forget kickboards!
    Wipe small appliances and replace.. do one thoroughly.. descale or decrumb or degunge!
    Clear a sticky dishevelled cupboard
    Level Three
    Wipe the table and replace the cloth if necessary.
    HHI
    Clean the oven and hob..
    Extras
    1. Clean out the fridge.. make use of anything almost past its best
    2. Wash the windows
    3. Binbag dance
    4. clean door deals, filters and detergent drawers!

    Monday's extras:
    Finish setting up calendar and diary
    Phone Polar for missing trim and compare price with local garage
    Decide on car tyre deals
    Write to-do lists for DS1 and DS2

    Hope you all have a good week.
