    Hi everyone

    Glad to see so much industrious home blessing going on today. Sophiesmum and janeawej...well done on clearing "hot spots". That is my ultimate challenge - my desk is always a tip but I find it so hard to get it cleared and keep it that way. It used to be a coffee table so I got rid of that, the mess just moved to a dining table, now it's my desk. Hopeless!!

    Anyway, last night I cleaned the kitchen floor with a strong solution of soda crystals. I emptied the mop bucket out this evening and it was vile...dark brown. Oh dear, I should clean it more often methinks.

    Tonight so far I have cleaned the laminate floors in the front room and in the hall. I just used warm water and a squirt of elbow grease, then dried the floors down with some old dusters. Hopefully they won't be streaky - last time I did them they were worse after than before...:o.

    Now I'm going to do the bathroom. It's going to be a quick swish and wipe effort to freshen it up. No cleaning walls or tidying drawers or cupboards.

    Tomorrow...will be my bedroom.

    Bye, keep up the good work!

    Hello all, I did the dreaded ironing which didnt take that long in the end.(Although i know there will be another load by tomorrow evening!) I didnt remember to take the bags of stuff to the charity shop.;( .I intend doing some of my large kitchen tomorrow. Might do my computer desk too as it is looking a bit cluttered and dusty. take care all.

  • The 27 fling boogie means just run round the room you're working in and grab 27 things to get rid of. It can be as small as a piece of paper, or mega big like an ugly bit of broken furniture. The aim is to end up with a clutter free environment.
    why 27 fling boggie? i like this one
