  2. Clean the floor (including the hall) properly

  3. Badge onto DD's Brownies sash
     
  4. DD's trousers x 5 (putting elastic on the inside of the waist band to bring them in - she's tall, hippy and thin so they all gape at the back which is highly embarrasing for her when she sits down. )

  7. Curtains x 2
• Outside
  1. Clean windows

Dancemum, AJ and Gunsandbanjos, how did you get on?

Not bad, bathroom is beautiful, just had a chest of drawers delivered so need to find it a home.

seafarers_wife

AJ i had someone in to clean my old oven, it cost me around £35 for the oven to be cleaned and the shelves to be soaked and it was like new. i didnt need the hob doing though as that would have been an extra £10.

Its so worth it as i cant stress how nice it looks once its been done, it really makes you want to keep it that way as well and a quick wipe over every few days after cooking sees it looking like new without any major elbow grease.

Right im now off to do some cleaning till 4pm. think im going to go do the bathroom and probably empty the hoover. not doing the filters though as id rather buy a new hoover! saying that ive had that hoover 5 years and being the mucky pup that i am havent cleaned the filters at all. hmmm wonder if OH will do it if i play the pregnancy card again lol

In my HHC

I finished the list apart from cleaning the vacuum.
Pulled out everything under the PC table and gave it all a good dust and vacuum.
Spoke to the guy I am dealing with at work about my frog, another small cog may now be in place.
Vacuumed under one of the units in LR as it is next to the PC area and hasn't been done in a long time.

Tuesday - Bathroom and study!!

OTHER

The cheapest quote I have found for the oven so far is £40. I can do the racks (they are almost perfect now) so don't need to worry about those and the hob is always cleaned anyway as people can see that! I am going to try the ovenpride stuff next and see how I go with that. If that doesn't work then I will try and persuade OH to get someone in. The only bit we will struggle with is the roof of the oven, trying to get around the element as many things have spat up there and it just drips when the oven is turned on.

Another quick break now. I still need to iron 3 shirts and try and get ahead a bit for tomorrow.

Dw been unloaded and wm changed over. Kids all home and messing about. DS1 will be blackmailed into doing some flying because he wants to watch the football.

My sister rang to say her and bil are staying over tonight, i'm not really sure what thats about. So i need to figure out where everyone is sleeping, maybe they'll change there minds.

Right plan now is the livingroom so everyone has a seat tonight.

Mumto5 healing vibes for your nephew.

Ironing done. Going to put the vacuum away now and get some shopping so we can eat tonight. When I get back I will try and get on top (and maybe ahead) of my 5 minute challenges so everywhere is easier to whizz around tomorrow.
