    Evenin' all.

    Bathroom and toilet are DH's responsibility in our house. He doesn't do them often enough for me. But those and putting the bin out are the only things he has total responsibility for and I wouldn't want to deprive him:D (And think of the precedent I would be setting)

    So will go and attack the baking cupboard in the kitchen. It's the horrid round the bend one.

    Also going to do some paperwork

    Thanks to you guys I put all the ironing away last night before I went to bed rather than leaving a pile on the floor for me to do this morning. Thank you:T

    Worn out but pleased with myself. instead of wandering the sales veing tempted to spend I told DD that I needed to be home for lunch as I had things to do- yes, the bathroom! It's sparkling now and I also washed the nets from bathroom, front door & back door. DS stripped his bed so got that done too!

    Penelope Penguin- charity bag delivered too so hopefully get that filled over the weekend between working!

    Really need to menu plan and having made a list of everything in the cupboards, fridge & freezer shoouldn't take me long but need to psych myself up for anything to do with cooking- should be okay when I get going!


    Looking forward to tomorrows challenge, Moggins!

    Todays mission statement is the bathroom and toilet, a good throrough clean including those tiles, bathroom mirror and get rid of any out of date medicines in the cabinet. For those of you who got ahead of yourself yesterday the task is to tackle at least one kitchen cupboard today. Sort it out, tidy and get rid of anything you haven't used in the last year!

    Plus 30 mins of paperwork
    and tackle those hotspots.

    Bathroom etc got a good clean two days ago, so will get a swish and swipe today :)
    Instead of kitchen cupboard I will try and sort laundry one
    Will get dinner prepared this morning
    Possibly some baking as well . . .
    This afternoon will be spent helping sister begin to move house
    30 minutes of paperwork will be this evening when OH comes home
    Hotspots - well that Bl00dy kitchen bench seems to be a continual one, so once again I'll try and clear it :)
