    I have

    DW x 1

    WM x 1

    TD x 2

    Relocated mine and OH's shoes into a cupboard and reclaimed my washing basket where they were residing.:o

    Binned some old fruit and chocolate....yup, chocolate that had been left in a bowl so its gone.:eek:

    Emptied bin

    Thoroughly cleaned the chickens water drinker.

    Relocated the tumble dryer again, to on top another work surface, for easier access.

    This is the third place I've relocated it in my kitchen so hopefully can access it much more easily. I realised I was getting to that place where things are shoved in front of most machines so I can't get to anything, causing frustration and me giving up because I get overwhelmed. So I've moved some stuff aound again and got rid/ditched some of the crapola.
