    [STRIKE]Shine that stinky sink[/STRIKE]
    Level Two
    [STRIKE]Wipe table replacing cloth if necessary[/STRIKE].. I want to see pretty tables piles of mail and pens and goodness knows what else has to go!
    Clear out a cupboard.. The one with baking supplies or the one with pans and plastic boxes.. GO!! Or you could, if you have one, clear the pantry!
    Wipe and replace small appliances.. Clean one thoroughly!

    [STRIKE]Wipe units and large appliances.. don't forget kickboards[/STRIKE]!

    2. [STRIKE]Throw out those bacteria breeding chipped mugs and plates etc[/STRIKE]
    3. Sort out and restock medicine cupboards
    4. [STRIKE]Wash the brushes, mops, dustpans etc.. how gross do these get?[/STRIKE]
    Wednesday ~ Master Bedroom & Landing
    Level 1
    Check smoke alarms are working
    Remove bed linen and replace with fresh linen
    [STRIKE]Declutter the floordrobe[/STRIKE] - Hmm, can get to the bed now without tripping over!
    Level 2
    [STRIKE]Dust surfaces & make sure no cobwebs[/STRIKE].. make sure to do the bed base.. mine was gross - Well most of them, bit too much to do in one go
    Vacuum mattress before replacing fresh linen
    [STRIKE]15 minutes grotspot clearance[/STRIKE] - The entire bedroom is a grotspot!
    Level 3
    [STRIKE]Vacuum floors in bedroom and on landing[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Sort one area of clothes or linen storage making sure only what should be in there is, anything that's had it's day or doesn't belong there is removed[/STRIKE]
    Defluff and demuck woodwork... skirtings, window frames, door frames dados, picture rails etc
    Extras
    1. fling boogie time, time for that midweek fling, go grab a bag and clear that clutter
    2. Air the duvet.. fling it over the line for half an hour if you can.. fly away bugs!
    3. Clean windows in these rooms
    4. Binbag dance to go to charity shop! Or just general rehoming!

    Making progress very slowly, I'm sure next time the master bedroom comes around it'll be easier and I'll get more done. It's been the dumping ground for the last few months, since the LO got his own room. Must make a pledge to get rid of stuff not wanted, although the large pile of outgrown baby things is waiting on a new arrival of a niece/nephew in a few months time.

    Oh yes, before I forget - hello everyone, hopefully I'll get to know everyone soon.
    Taking one day at a time....I'll get there in the end

    OK stopping my HHC a few minutes early- got all the airers cleared, foldables put away and ironables added to pile that will be tackled once back not so bad :). Not much I know, but for me today it feels like a weight has been lifted.
    Hope sockdrawer, and seafarers_wife got on well too. x

    just sat down coffee close by,
    Pigpen, your ex- words fail me, unfortunately it seems all too horribly common.

    MrsB I hope you didn't hurt yourself badly in the fall and that arnica has done its magic

    everyone else have a mid week hug:grouphug: I ran out of spoons:o

    at lunch today I managed
    vac the floor, tackled 2 hotspots, bedside mat in washer, dusted where possible, filled a bin bag with rubbish and found 5 pairs of shoes that were beyond repair.
    Decluttered a banana and peanut butter sarny
    not bad for today:T
    Sue
    Do I need to eat it :o
    Can I afford the calories:eek:
    have I checked for a lower calorie version:T

    Textiles, languages, travel and a lovely home are not stupid things to want. You have immediate family's support.Appreciate what I've achieved so far. Other people's opinion of me is none of my business.
