Hi everyone :wave:

I'm in...just back from Liverpool.

Aw Nicki...sorry about your cancellation, but as you say, it might be better to get a plastic surgeon to do the procedure.

I have mopped the kitchen and dining room floor. My LR carpet has another nasty stain on it. DD will be using the stardrops on it!

Going to catch up with the thread xx

Evening ladies :wave:

Just home from work

PILs have set off for Scotland. I left them to get their own breakfast and see themselves out. the kitchen is tidier than when I leave it :rotfl:
DH is away, so i am home alone. Off to night school later. I signed up for a 5 week dressmaking course.

Off to find a list but I know I can cross off cat flap cos I did them (we have 2) on saturday

Catch you later

Baby boy no longer being sick. Am hoping a good nights sleep will see him right and he can go to Granny in the morning.

Have bin bag, will declutter! Kitchen, I'm coming after you...

And I would love a cleaner, but it isn't going to happen - more of a rhetorical question, I have plans for that money....

DD to put to bed, I've got someone coming to pick up the half bag of tile adhesive via Freecycle this evening. Then HHC at 6.30 in the kitchen :-) probably be an hour by the time I've finished...

Level One
[STRIKE]Clear and wipe worksurfaces[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]Scrub down the front of units and large appliances[/STRIKE]

[STRIKE]Run the WM's and DW's through a clean cycle[/STRIKE] - iv'e used them on a hot wash after cleaning the filters - i can't bear to put them on empty:o
[STRIKE]Clean all the filters and door seals etc[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]Wipe the back door down.. inside.. and out!!.. and scrub the cat flap[/STRIKE] x 2

kitchen is always my easiest room as i do keep on top of it out of habit as it is my work room...

although i have done most of the list the kitchen and utility still look a mess and they are cluttered on the surfaces with stuff waiting to go to charity shops or with seed trays or my office stuff...

the rest of the house does not usually get so much attention - but still aiming for level 2 plus one or tow of the extras list for each room as i usually ignore the extras list altogether..

right off to get kids ready for bed then its back to paid work for me..

i might try to mop the floor before i go to bed and then the list will be DONE for the first time in ages;)

reporting back on hhc - Mostly what I did was the fridge:eek: cleared the jar shelf (horrendous) cleaned all the shelves etc and all the fronts. Also did the oven, but I'm going to need some of the strong stuff - so its gone on my list for next week. I've fried off the chicken for pilaff but run out of time to get it in the oven now as bedtime went/is going a bit wonky. Just have to be rice and veg on the hob now!

I need to find my washing machine manual as I don't know where the maintenance bits are.......

Once teas finished I'll do the floor. Kids were up at 5.20 this morning so I'm shattered.

HHC resulted in one shelf cleared, microwave cleaned and the discovery of a drawer I didn't know I had! Well, I knew it was there, but never opened it - like some kind of wierd blind spot? Anyway, hidden away was a whole load of bits and bobs that OH had been stashing there! We've only lived here a year, and it's not a big kitchen - how could I have overlooked an entire drawer?!? So wasted rest of HHC sorting through it.

Freecycling like mad as well, nothing worth anything so no eBay goodies.
