    Morning folks!

    Today's non standard job carries on yesterday's theme of kitchen cupboards. Today is the nightmare one, the one under the sink....To say I'm dreading it is an understatement!

    I did the extra one yesterday, which was to clear the grass and weeds away from the front of the garage, but I've now noticed the garage door needs cleaning, now that's a non standard job if ever I heard of one!:)

  • Morning peeps

    Well this morning was a v early start so i don't know what time I will flag this afty, hoping I make it to then!

    Today's NSJ has been decided - I will re sort out the spare room which has been used as a dumping ground. Decision reached as I thought what is currently annoying me most with the house and when I saw that this morning I just knew!!!! There's a million other things of course but that will have better effect on my sanity LOL.

    Washing the garage door cracked me up! Loving the replies xxx

    I've cleaned my hall carpet:eek:
    Try to be a rainbow in someone's cloud.
  • I need to do our bedroom carpets - a job I am def not looking forward to.

    Today's NSJ complete.
    Tomorrow's is photo ebay items and upload - yk job! but that's one of the reasons this thread is good for me, those jobs would normally take very low priority and end up getting done as a result of me in a rage with everything being unorganised and in disarray lol

    Sprayed polish onto a duster and ran it over the curtain poles, it makes opening/closing the curtains so much smoother :)
  • Does cleaning the cooker and putting all the bits on their own in the dish washer on a very hot wash to give the machine a clean too count? or am I a disgusting individual who should thnk cleaning the cooker is a standard job ?:o
  • sparrer - great tip re easier closing of curtains after a polish. Thanks!

    helvelyn - LOL - each to their own of course, however giving the cooker a full clean requires a non standard job for me! I wipe it over after use but top to toe clean - bleugh!

    I didn't sort out the cupboard under the sink, I ran out of day:o Back it goes onto today's non standard job list. Today I have already cleared out a filing box ready for all my course material; and either recycled or boxed up the contents. As a bonus, it was chock a block with Christmas stationery, paper, tags, cards and ribbons! I won't need to buy any of that this year:j
