    I hate auto correct...

    I have emptied, cleaned out, sorted and re-stocked ALL my kitchen cupboards and drawers. I have also cleaned some shelves and one of the kit hen windows. :D

    The rest of the house is revolting, but about a third of the kitchen is spotless!

    Have made a start but too tired and hot and bothered to do too much tonight.
    I have mw at 11.40 and so prob won't get much done in the morning. Got to chase some info as well so most of tomorrow morning i will be allowing my butt to increase in size while I appear to be SOMAADFA. Its not true.. honest. Will REALLY try and do HHI at some point and if it works juggling a phone, an iron and a three year old - not to mention the pooter - I will.

    Managed 3xWM all of which are out drying and tomorrow, I have only two remaining. that does add to the ironing pile mind!

    I am off to bed in a mo. reckon i am gonna sleep well tonight.

    To all those struggling at the mo whether in mind, or body, i hope things ease for you soon. (((hugs)))

    Morning all!
    This is where having a small house comes in handy...yes, it might show the mess more, but there's no dining room to clean ;).

    My plan for today is as follows...

    general daily cleaning of downstairs and now swish and swipe of bathroom as well...started this yesterday and it made me feel pretty good. Few minutes on the veg garden. Half an hour making important phone calls and dealing with paperwork. And 3 loads of laundry. I need to clean out my handbag and check the upstairs smoke alarm which I forgot yesterday. Plus tidy in my office because I can't see the floor for rubbish :O.

    I already do most of today's level one on a daily basis....I've got white kitchen floors (bad, bad design flaw!) with French doors directly onto the outside, a pushchair that lives in the kitchen, 2 toddlers and 2 cats, so daily mopping is essential.

    Sooo...hob and oven. Hob is already pretty nice so it's just the inside of the oven, which hasn't seen a cloth in a long, long time!

    That's my level one aim covered, and I have a busy day planned, so there won't be time for a deep clean by any means, but I might try to plan 30 minutes to spend on levels 2 and up to make some progress. I am thinking: spend 10 minutes cleaning out a cupboard, clean up the kettle, wipe the appliances, wipe the units and kickboards, quick wipe out of the fridge, clean the manky bit behind the washing machine.

    Have a good day all x

    ...........is awake and too hot, our bedroom is the hottest room in the house, so have come downstairs to cool down.

    Best do something productive, like put the kettle on.

    It's still really hot, isn't it?
    Meant to ask about the HHC...is it separate from the list or to do things on the list or dailies? I feel like I already spend hours cleaning, mainly trying to stem the chaos created by my family : ), but of course there is always more to be done...

    What do you all do for your HHC?

    What ever you fancy really, you can incorporate a list item of do your own thing. I tend to tackle the kitchen or some washing or fill a bag full of rubbish....whatever you want to.:D
