    Well, I am still in my dressing gown, watching skiing on tv so am sticking to orders so far!!

    My plan for today will include the following.....in no particular order!
    • [STRIKE]tidy the kitchen - need to keep on top of last week's room[/STRIKE] Done but I swear it needs doing again already!
    • tidy the lounge - this week's room for my housework challenge getting there
    • do some ironing getting there with this one too
    • wash dry and put away at least 2 loads of washing just got to put away
    • [STRIKE]hoover throughout downstairs [/STRIKE]done
    • [STRIKE]do a bit of supermarket shopping for basics.[/STRIKE] done
    • [STRIKE]go to my mums - she comes home from hols today so need to put heating on and get her some milk and bread in etc[/STRIKE] done
    • [STRIKE]do 2 x 15 mins of paperwork sorting[/STRIKE] done
    • do 1 hour minimum of ebay listing.
    Ok, it is a big list, but I have all day to do it, and I hope to coerce the kids into doing a bit, in return for their big ski day they had yesterday.....payback time!!

    Getting there :o Hope everyone else is progressing!

    Thanks Clur and SF - need to get back off the sofa and carry on though - that is proving quite difficult!!!

    I would like that too. It's the one place I hate doing. Left to my own devices it would still be clean but OH keeps using it!! He does give it the odd clean - usually when to turn it on alerts the smoke alarms - but it's never properly clean and when it's listed as a "to do" on the flylady list (which is quite often!!) I just delete that bit and pretend it wasn't there! maybe that should be my challenge for after the attic?

    I recommend that "caustic gel and a big plastic bag" stuff. Works for me - though I did leave my chrome cooker bits outside overnight to "ferment" well in it...

    I certainly need something super duper. Perhaps I will investigate next week when I am at home a fair bit - can get rid of the fumes before the kids come home from school one day!

    Update on the housework - ironing is done and the lounge is about as good as it is going to get for the moment. All in all, am happy enough with it!!

    Just got to do stirfry pork and noodles for dinner and then get on with some bits for ebay.

    I hope everyone is having a good evening so far!

    Just had a look in the cupboard - it's called "Oven Pride". It uses a kind of jellied sodium hydroxide. According to me, there were no fumes. According to the XOH, there were some.

    Just 3 tips for using it though.
    1. Wear gloves
    2. Wear gloves
    3. Wear gloves
