    Bread maker is a MR fastbake, just testing now, put it all in and forgot to switch it on earlier so have to stay up until midnight while it finishes now, ah poo!

    Will sort Thursdays list out tonight before I go to bed, we have to tackle DS2s room tomorrow aswell (usually do his as the master as he has the biggest room (we have the smallest) which will take some doing as it's wall-wall toys at the minute! Will strip our bed too as that needs doing and did DS1s bed today (inc vaxing the mattress)

    Right I'm off to tackle a blocked sink, no idea why it's bunged up but I can't shine it until it's clear!
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    I think I over did it cleaning my cooker.It`s a brushed stainless steal one.And I think I`ve scrubbed the brushed looking stuff off it in places.Some of it is the same as it`s always been like a very dull shine to it and other places are like mirrors.:eek:

    So think tomorrows job is to scrub it again to get it all mirror shiney,cos it looks a complete mess now.:mad:

    I never managed to put on baby oil,but everything else on the list was done! :j

    I love my kitchen all sparkly.

    I cleaned microwave/grill & kitchen cupboards and floor. Haven't done main oven as it needs a bigger scrub and I wasn't starting a big job late at night and I'm also wary of what cleaners you use in an oven and I haven't got anything suitable in -no not even bicarb:p . So that one will have to wait till next time it comes round;) . Struggled to find 27 things to throw away, due to big clear out, got to 8:D

    Thursdays tasks work out well too for where I've jumped in:T . If I substitute stairs for my landing which is currently clear and put all the things lying at bottom in relevant place. Our bedroom also has a pile of toys which I've cleared from DD bedroom as they give her more space and they are more suited to going in her play-house outside.
