    Good morning everyone,

    Well, upset that we dont have snow here, but never mind, have lots to do to keep us busy!!!!
    Have already posted my Amazon parcel, and emptied the DW - need to clean the kitchen floor, clean the bathroom and toilets and make the beds. Hoover needs whiping round, but that is a job when everyone has gone home tonight, a nice easy day today.
    First, i think a cup of coffee is calling, so will crack on after that!!!

    Hi folks :hello:

    So far I`ve done;

    Made DS packed lunch,

    1st load of washing,

    Washed last nights pots :embarasse and breaky pots,

    Some ironing.

    And thats about it so far.

    A BIG thanks to the OP about the 10p selling on Ebay on Thursday.Got to dig me camera out now to get it all set up ready to list then.

    So my list for today is;

    change all bedding,

    Pile all Ebay goods in one place,take photos of them,

    Spend one hour revising on my ADI course,

    Drink countless cups of tea.

    Take a black bin bag into DD`s room and be ruthless.

    Hoover all bedrooms and landing.

    Give bathroom a good going over.

    I think thats about enough,but if I feel up to it I`ll add some extras.

    Morning all

    Day one of a tidier house, well the start of at least! Just a quick question, now on earth do you shine a brown plastic sink??????????

    I gave it a good clean out yesterday after having a go at the oven but I don't think it will ever 'shine' like a stainless steel one.

    Right off to get DD (aged 7) and DS (who will be 4 next week) ready and off to school.

    AnW'sMum, I have a brown-coloured sink too! It has a grainy finish so no chance of it ever sparkling or looking shiny. Guess all we can do is to clean it every day and know for ourselves that it is clean.
    Any OS suggestions for limescale removal? I'd carry on with the branded stuff but it's not even very effective.:confused:

    Just a quickie, off to placement in a mo. Have done dailies, 2 lots of washing, and the kitchen. Children's rooms still immaculate.:D

    Am thinking about the oven (and thats already progress!), and may put Borax on the shopping list for tonight!

    Have fun everyone, back tonight.

  • No children so no children's rooms, but I didn't get the bathreoom cupboard done yesterday so that plus spare room/study. Really need to get that finished plus clean kitchen worktops when second batch of marmalade is finished.
