Sticky cupboardsLike greasy and then fluff stuck to them.

Tomorrow is a mystery
Today is a gift
That's why we call it 'The Present'0 -
Drops in to join in a HHC - Paperwork for me, then a HHI, but need some space first!
Tidying paperwork makes a worse mess than you started with before it gets better, but am determined that it all is done tonight!
MoamAlthough no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

My list doesn't look too bad! If I can just apply myself when I get home from work instead of snoozing
Anyway, thank you to Pigpen and Toots. Your hard work is appreciated
P.S. i still need an answer on how best to clean my icky kitchen cupboards
Off for a shower now, then HHI with the tv :T
Sugar soap!!!
Girls room now contains.. 3 chests of drawers, 1 dead wardrobe which OH hasn't dismantled today :mad: so is doing first thing in the morning., 3 beds and a bedside cabinet...
DD1's room now contains.. the entire contents of 4 large skips!
My landing has disappeared.. and how my upstairs has not fallen through to downstairs I will never know!!!!!!!! It is appalling!!!!!
That plasterer is so dead if he doesn't turn up tomorrow!!! I should have told him for every day he puts me off I'm knocking £50 off what I pay him that would have worked lol.
First thing tomorrow we need to remove the wardrobe, and move the bunks and Tiddles CoD's and dust sheet the beds.. I am shattered already!
Squeak up to bed.. put her in the cot.. she does a stink.. destink the baby and do her inhalers and put her back in.. I think she has gone straight over thank goodness...

Mine were like that when I moved in here. Along with the cooker! Veteran flyladies on here might even recall me spending my birthday a couple of years ago, with my head in the bloody oven all day. It was soooooo bad I ended up taking bits that I could apart to get too the grease. But then I'm odd like that!!:D:p
Cupboards, I just used one of those non scratch scouring pads with some Fairy Liquid or Stardrops. Then wiped over after with a microfibre cloth.
Anything you use will require a bit of elbow grease. But once it's done it'll just be a wipe over when the list comes round each week.;)
I've been pottering - washing in ish, when DS takes it upstairs for me. Only been asking for the last hour *rolls eyes* Another load in, cat box de smelled. Removed a sneaky cat from Miss Tag's room.
Actually, I should feed the animals *wanders off to do it*0 -

I have written 3000 words on my report so far. The final copy needs to be in the post by Friday. Was out for dancing exams for most of the day. DS1's bed changed, 3xwm done, DS2 in meltdown city.
Off to sort my kitchen out ready for the morning. HHC or I might be tempted not to bother0
