    Okay think I may be getting addicted to cleaning!!!! Unheard of in this house (and lifetime lol). Normally I get up at 7 to start work at 8 and this is my time for sitting and reading before the day begins.

    On the last day of work (normally a Thursday) I bring down all the kiddies steps. paper towel bin, rubbish bins that are upstairs and wash them with disinfectant. Today I am working for an extra day but have no children in who use them.

    So do I come down and have time reading? No I come down and clean all of the above (would normally be done at the end of the day - reluctantly I hasten to add) then put them outside to dry (as we are out for the morning so no risks to children).

    Having done this do I sit down to read? No I then use the remaining water to clean my back door (which has never been done in a number of years - yes I know I am a mucky ***).

    Do I sit down then - no I then wash up the stuff from last night left from supper (I'd cleaned my sink so this didn't get one last night)

    You ladies have a lot to answer for. I don't normally put computer on before work but I had to as I missed the list last night for today so had to get up and check this morning.

    Have a lovely day everyone

    Friday ~ Spare Rooms
    Level One
    [STRIKE]Strip, wash and replace bedding[/STRIKE] None on the bed, a lot of clutter though :(

    Declutter the floor! This is what I have been doing in my RoD

    Own list
    Daily HHC in the garden (weather permitting)
    M T
    Daily 5 minute challenge in RoD
    M T
    Deep clean the bathroom (by the end of the week)

    Pay for car insurance
    Book car in for MOT next week
    Tidy in all rooms

    Haven't done anything in the garden since Tuesday but I did 4 HHCs out there then so I don't feel so bad, hoping to go out with OH over the weekend so I can have a hand with some of the back breaking stuff.
    It is getting tough to get anymore of the floor clear in RoD as we have to find some storage space first so I am not going to stress myself out with this.

    Morning all

    wm1 on line
    wm2 doing now
    kids beds stripped and airing (it's very blowy here) am about to do mine!
    Missed putting the recycling out because I cannot find keys. The back door is unlocked but the garden gate is locked. I can use the front door if I want to go anywhere but that would mean leaving the back door unlocked. I had my keys at work yesterday...they may be there still..and it's closed...
    *rubs chin*
    this is going to take deep thought to get me out of it!

    step 1 re-check in house for keys...
