Hi all, please can I join in?
I've three weeks to get cracking before I start a new job. We bought our house in October and I've had to work away for the last 6 months. DP has been living here on his own and the whole place is in a total mess! I'll be sticking to the list to try and get sorted before I start work again.

Right....now to try and find the floor in the living room before I vacuum it! Thanks for all the lists everybody. I will post my own once I feel I have made a start :-)

Morning all

going to get my e bay sorted and posted then do the list then deal with some frogs. Hope I make a better job of it than Jynx who was seen tentatively batting something in the garden yesterday. Popped out to see her 'testing' a huge toad LOL. We brought her in to give it a chance to slope off:rotfl:

Can I join?

Our apartment is quite small, but I feel like it is always messy, cluttered and dusty. It's a lot better than it used to be, when I first moved in, but there is still plenty of improvement to be made.

Tonight I'd like to tackle the microwve oven. I tried last night, but didn't really have the best cleaning products for it, so it is better than it was, but still not great. Have received a tip from my SIL though, that I will try tonight.

Also, there is a huge cardboard pile in our house (from OH ordering his gadgets, and stuff), that really needs to go. It is the dreaded cardboard mountain! I hate it. It feels like we manage to get it down a little, and then OH just adds to it again! Arghhhh!

I would love to get the flat looking better before Sunday, when we go on holiday, so we can return to a nice clean flat.

OK, that's me for now as I'm a little scared! lol

All OK here, thanks, it doesn't seem to have got down to us yet. There is a possibility there was an attempt at trouble about 1 -3 miles away, but that seemed to be stopped in its tracks fairly quickly.

The fluffy cat hates me now as I had to declutter some rather stinky matted bits from her rear end this morning. She may have been the one swearing (well, not the only one, admittedly :whistle:) but I could think of a few things I would rather be doing than angry fluffbag wrangling on a Monday morning, too. And it means I have to vacuum again.

Minion has been returned by KH without warning. A week early. Seems she had enough, I think.

She's very pleased by the bedroom onslaught, though.

Have breakfasted, endured kids' TV for a couple of hours and will be going out in a minute to get a few bits for her room, like a couple of new storage boxes for under the bed.

If I can drag her away from Captain America cartoons, that is.
