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!!!0 -

AnW'sMum wrote: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.

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.It is never too late to become what you were always intended to be0 -
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.0
