    Hi

    Kitchen floor done, and skirting. Did it last thing so bin, doormat and trolley thing are all out in the hall. Must remember not to fall over them in morning...

    Didn't wipe cupboards down, but has been done recently. Did wipe the plinths though as I was doing floor. Cooker and window have all be done recently so looking pretty good in there. Should give the doors a wash too. Just needs a lick of paint.

    NO!!! SOMEBODY STOP ME... Lol. Need to get over my last lot of decorating...

    Have completed 3/6 challenges and made a mini start on 4th, spare room. Which is currently my bedroom, until Friday when my new mattress arrives. Just sorted through the books, and have a pile of pregnancy and new baby books. Don't think I'll be needing those again...

    Spent some more time in the kitchen, organising food, hulling strawberries and clearing/cleaning more worktop. Will do one more HHC, then the rest will have to wait. Not done as well as I'd hoped, but it is looking better.

    Time to call it a day - DS1 is in the bath, so no hot water for the moment. At least the worktops are almost done.

    Monday - kitchen
    Sweep and mop the floor

    Wipe your worktops
    Clear hotspot
    Wipe cupboard/drawer fronts
    Sort out a cupboard
    HHC outside (while the weather seems reasonable)
    Bank Holiday Tuesday - Master Bedroom (leaving this for Friday/the weekend)
    Hoover floor and landing
    Strip, wash and replace bedding
    Sort floordrobe
    Sort out a drawer or wardrobe
    Fill a charity bag

    Plan for tomorrow is a combination of kitchen, bathroom and living room, getting DH to help. DS1 will be out until late afternoon, but has promised to do more jobs then. Hoping to go to a nice garden centre after lunch - mainly to have a look around, but I need something to brighten up the planter outside the front door (doesn't get too much sun).

    Night all. x

    Ooh thisis an easy one for me, great as we are out most of the day! Most have already been done although my bedroom cupboard is on my challenge list for one evening during the week. Not tonight though, as I really need to do some paperwork. Kids rooms are looking great, though, and I really have a handle on what clothes they have. Must tell mil not to get dd any coats for winter, she has three!!!

    HHC in chosen room
    Clear a hotspot in chosen room


    My hotspot is the landing windowsill, everything gets left there, until it is moved on to it's rightful home. It's like grand central station. Currently there are
    Batteries
    A lamp
    3 cups/bottles
    Some photos and bits and bobs for the scrapbook
    A "baby girl" gift bag
    Coat hangers
    Little pink trainers
    Some fixings for inside DS wardrobe
    A doorstop
    Various other bits of carp

    So following my hh paperwork tonight I will clear the windowsill and find a home for everything, then give it a good wipe down.
