    Hiya Soappie

    we're fine..

    no gossip

    ;)

    hi soappie...

    no gossip at all ;):p:p
  • Hi there a newbie here! Decided to join in for the motivation and the support which seems amazing. So here is what I've done today, after work and the delights of Tesco (and spending too much!)

    Monday - Kitchen and Dining Room
    Level One
    Clear and wipe kitchen surfaces
    Empty the Pan cupboard!! (I have a big draw which I've sorted and wiped down)
    Level Two
    Sweep floor
    Sort fridge bringing what needs using soon to the front, clean out any spills or grots in there!
    Wipe dining table
    Level Three
    Hob degrotting!

    And I've also washed and dried my pots - unusual for me.
    Now just got to stick at it!
    A big wave hello to everyone: :wave:
    :beer:
