    morning all. i have had a very draining weekend and am really looking forward to the start of a new week. have done 1 x wm already and about to put second in. scuttling around the kitchen too but all those hhi's i missed last week got done at the weekend and half my ironing pile is gone which has made me feel a bit better. gonna do a few more on and off between sorting the kitchen today and see if i can't get rid of it. also got dd3's godmother to be coming around to help me with the christening invites. :) hopefully get them all posted this week.

    Morning everyone

    I'm going to join if I may? Hoping to do level 1 & 2 and possibly some level 3 today as I have a day's holiday. Normally work long day's Monday and Tuesday's then half day on Wednesday and then day's off Wed pm, Thursday and Friday - so may need to adjust the schedule. Don't generally do that much on Monday and Tuesday evenings.

    Need to get the house in order though - it is slowly getting better - just need some direction and a routine.

    I'm not very excited at looking at the bin... I don't think it's ever been cleaned :o Any ideas what to do to clean it out with minimal touching! And make it smell nice again!

    xx

    If mine was really bad, I would take the bag out, pour a bit of bleach in and a kettle full of boiling water and leave it for a little while.

    Id pour the contents and ickiness straight down the drain and then clean it out with my hands...

    HTH


    Anyway - I have spent half an hour in the kitchen and I have:

    Scrubbed the steamer within an inch of its life
    As above with the SC
    As above with the toaster
    As above with the microwave
    Moved the microwave and all the applicance and caught all the escapee breadcrumbs
    Emptied and cleaned the breadbin
    Filled the sink with hot soapy water
    Put miscellaneous gibble I found on the way straight in the bin


    Im going back in again while I still have my mojo and will keep working my round the kitchen...

    Morning all, I'm in again, though OH has decided to take today off work, so not sure how much I'll get done.

    My delivery eventually turned up on Friday :D so I'm typing in the middle of a maze of boxes for a bit!

    uropachild OUCH!! I hope your mouth feels better soon. There is nothing worse than that. Have some virtual hugs and painkillers

    Frittered Sending you some too.

    mumofjusttwo Looks like you need some too.

    Will be flying when I get home tonight. Got my list done and it's huge but very organised :) Talk about procrastination. It's all colour coded and looks great :rotfl::rotfl: No excuses now :eek:
  • Pain free vibes for all those who need them.

    I'm in again this week. Had a crazy week at work last week but managed to get the house looking reasonable for my visitors at weekend. They left this morning and the house looks a mess again :huh: so I will start in the kitchen tonight when I'm home from work.

    I also managed to eat a huge frog on Friday when I finally put the garden waste out for recycling _party_. I've been putting it off for so long so last weekend just got on with it and sorted it out - this included the Xmas tree from 2009 :embarasse but its done now so should be easier to deal with.
