Okay progress check
Tuesday ~ Kitchen, Utility and Dining Area
Level One
[STRIKE]Wipe and replace small appliances[/STRIKE] - I have mined away all the decorating "stuff" (no not the first word I put):rotfl:found the appliances, heck I've even got the spinny inside bit of the nuker in the sink soaking.
[STRIKE]Declutter and wipe work surfaces[/STRIKE] Found those worksurfaces too - I gave up and HOOVERED them first :eek: the dust was turning to mud when I tried to wipe it up. So hovered and wiped down
Level Two
Sweep and mop floors
[STRIKE]Wipe units/appliances[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]Clear and wipe window sills.. do not put back the junk.. bin it![/STRIKE]
Level Three
Tidy, clear and wipe the top of the fridge and freezer I cant reach and it's the tupperware dumping zone
[STRIKE]Clean one small appliance thoroughly.. microwave, kettle, iron, [/STRIKE] kettle and microwave - although there are a few spots in that microwave I think only a chisel will sort
Clean appliance filters.. WM, DW, Kettle, Vacuum cleaner.. cooker hood..
Extras- Sharpen knives - wont need to do this DH is fanatical about it
- Order and organise the spices and sauces. - This is always done too
- Sort the cutlery drawer- on a roll with these extras! I spilt vanilla extract in the draw last week so is clean and sorted, and smells vaguely of cake
- Medical box - restock and inventory. I'm sure a lot of us will have run out of the vitals the last few months!
Not bad

lonewolf i think spaghetti bolognaise(sp can't get spellcheck to work) is always a favourite you could make it with quorn mince. Same goes for shepherds pie. If you want to do some easy baking i do twinks hobnobs and instead of rolling into little balls, i spread the mixture out in a baking tin lined with greaseproof and cut into squares when cooked before it goes cold.
Just done this with DGC so kitchen floor now needs mopping. I have also made some butterkist popcorn but toffee sauce could have been coocked a bit longer, it's still sticky, never mind it won't last long anyway. Just got dailies to do when DGS wakes up. DW on, WM on. Tea sorted. Hugs to all who need them xLife is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away. – Hilary Cooper

Hi, guys

Lonewolf - all of mine love pasta and it is really easy to make. They love it with just cheese, but I usually add veg and some chicken and sometimes do it all in a white sauce to, which is also easy to make (butter, flour and milk then add a flavouring is you want or the cheese etc) HTH xBe the change you want to see in the world - Gandhi

Afternoon
I didn't get much done yesterday, so I started with the living room today! I've only managed to clear the floor so far - but it was a task in itself and involved sorting out a whole heap of clothes, picking up the contents of 2 toyboxes and sorting through a scattered pile of recycling/scrap paper! Lets just say it's been neglected for a few [STRIKE]weeks[/STRIKE] days...
I'm going to do a HHC in the kitchen now, and hopefully clear the worktops enough to make some bread!Paying off CC in 2011 £2100/£1692
