    Morning All!!

    I'm in again - will be interspersing flying with helping DD2 revise - kids have another week off here:(...but that means I do too;)!

    Welcome to all the newbies - and grateful thanks to the people who run the tread......I don't know how you do it - I have trouble running for a bus!:rotfl:

    Kitchen not looking too bad, although not all the washing up got done (men!!)

    Off to declutter a cup of tea and then start whilst kids are still in bed!

    Ps. Is there any reason why our illustrious leader is not on the flybaby list?

    I said I'd join in this week so I will.
    It was difficult getting out of bed this morning as for some reason it seemed a bit cold. But eventually I braved the arctic conditions of the bedroom and got dressed quickly putting an my thick cardi to keep out the cold. Then it was downstairs for breakie and a quick check of emails before getting started. However I was delayed by the postman bringing a few goodies to the door - my fee BBC seeds, a copy of Country Living and my parcel of ribbons ordered from Patch.
    But now there are no more excuses and I must get going on the following:
    Monday ~ Kitchen/Dining area
    Level One
    Sweep and mop floors
    Declutter and wipe worksurfaces
    Level Two
    Scrub the fronts of units and large appliances
    Wipe and replace the small appliances
    Wipe tables and place clean cloth
    Level Three
    Clean out a cupboard..
    Scrub the sink and shine the taps and tiles
    Clean out the fridge!
    Extras
    1. Wipe over oven and hob
    2. Declutter and wipe window sills
    3. Empty and wash out bins.. recycling, rubbish and compost! (inside bins not wheelies!!!!)
    4. HHI
    We don't need to do it perfectly - good enough is exactly that GOOD ENOUGH.
