Morning all
Not really following the lists in any sort of order but I am doing stuff. Yesterday's washing eventually dried on the airer and I put that away this morning. I've now got a load on the line, drying well, so I hope the forecast showers stay away for a couple of hours at least. I've descaled the kettle this morning. Wiped all round the kitchen tops and cupboard fronts and made sure the cupboards and freezers are tidy ready for the shopping which is due any time now.
Dusted and polished in the living room, I vacuumed right through downstairs yesterday and washed the kitchen floor. I've got the living room window open because it was all fugged up this morning. It's almost clear now so I can shut it later.
Hope everyone's OK.0 -

Hi everyone I was working on old 2008 threads until I found the new one yesterday lol.
I work from home part-time and the house mess was getting me down, I can say thanks to following the old threads last week and completing most of yesterdays apart from cleaning outside the back door it was raining miserably here, and wiping down the kitchen table which is full of clothes still to be ironed, although I did get though some yesterday. My house is looking 100% better. Because I was working on an old thread originally my bedroom is pretty much tidy but I do have a whole wardrobe floor to declutter so once I've finished work at 3 my intends is to floodrobe hoover living room sort through my knicker door quick dust over our room again and finish of the ironing. Thank you so much for these threads its a lot easier to tattle if you know where to start0 -
