  • i've managed to:
    • clean sink and bleach cloths
    • washed up breakfast and lunch bottles and dishes
    • clean glass on back door - inside and out, and wipe surface dirt off the upvc
    • cleaned 2 kitchen tables, washed all small appliances on them, very pleased as i only managed 1 last time
    • emptied spice rack, washed all 20 glass jars, then put back
    • swept laminate in living/dining room, and wiped up cat prints
    and that was all in a 40 minute gap when baby grabbed 40 winks. Otherwise, i've played lots, and caught up on watching desperate housewives and ugly betty that i taped last week. :T go me! (no praise like self praise!! :rotfl: )

    Spray with WD40 - it loosens the sticky.

    I've managed the kitchen, the bathroom, done three loads of washing, dried the towels for work and am just off to make tea. I used the stardrops in the kitchen for the first time and it's been great on the floor but has smeared on the work tops. What am I doing wrong?

    Cat update: He was allowed out for a walk round the garden this morning and loved it. Sat in his favourite spot and then came in and slept by the radiator all day. It's a hard life!

    Nail polish remover works too.. have to be careful if the floor is varnished though.. acetone free!!

    Or just plain old blutack!! Brought it off a treat!

    Good evening everyone,

    Been busy today - finally sat down now with a small glass of wine!!!
    So - the bathroom, toilets and kitchen are clean, still need to sort out the fridge and clean under the kitchen table, but they can wait until tomorrow. Have also kept up to date with my paperwork, cut the grass and done a little gardening, dusted the living room, made tomorrows packed lunches, the DW is on with todays dishes and all i have left to do is nip the hoover around downstairs, but i am waiting for DD to pick up her Bratz dolls that are covering the living room floor!!!
    Once thats done, im getting in my pjs and vegging out for the rest of the evening!!!
    Hope everyone has a good evening xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
