Doing a Spring Clean & MSE-style Treasure hunt

Hi guys I think I will join you although may take a while with working & 3 kids. Always seems I've just tided and then they make a mess again:wall:
However, the plan for today is to do the kitchen, clean oven, under the table and living room (if I have time).
Any money found will be put in a pot. All things that haven't been used in last year or so will be ebayed or freecycled.
This will also give me the kick up the bum to finally get rid of the travel system, rocker chair and playtoy station thingy that my daughter no longer uses. Afterall I AM NOT having anymore, even though I said that last time
:rotfl: _pale_ :rotfl: :rotfl:
Will let you know how I get on.....

I've been slowly doing this as I go along with moggins flyday thread. Over Christmas I sorted out the storage cupboard/mini loft space next to my study and go hold of some boxes. I know have a box for things to sell, a box for freecycle, a box for the charity shop. I've also sorted out all the DIY bits into 1 box so now I can find things and not just go out and buy stuff like masking tape or paintbrushes cos I can't find any !!

Now of course I just need to get round to selling the stuff, going to the charity shop and freecylcing.

My books have been stored almost everywhere in the house, from boxes to shelves then falling off, to bookshelves which I went off cos I thought they looked untidy (don't ask), now their scattered about everywhere hence I owe over £1 in library fines when I found & saw dates on 2 of them!!

Anyone living in Hackney, Plymouth, Herefordshire or Worcestershire can receive email reminders to let them know their books are due back. You get an email three days before and another on the day due if you subscribe to ELF (free of charge). http://www.libraryelf.com/
Unfortunately these are the only UK libraries serviced so far apart from a couple of universities. This is a US service which has been extended as far as email access will allow, so maybe more local libraries will follow suit. It might be worth trying to persuade your local library to join. I have used it and it works well.

Hi, just wondered how evryone was doing?
I did my kitchen on sat as promised. I cleaned my oven, all the cupboards, hob,table and drawers with my new found friend stardrops.In fact it was that clean and shiny my mum commented on how clean it was.
I still haven't quite got to the living room but did our bedroom yesterday as it was in dire need of it.
As for my change pot, I now have approx £2.50 (will put with all the kids change to take to bank):D
Hope you guys are doing well.
