    Have not ventured upstairs yet although kids beds were stripped earlier in week and floors hoovered. Mine are littlies so don't really play upstairs alone, so the mess is usually downstairs. Will give radiators a wipe this aft, and have a look under beds. Have also recently gone through their cupboards so they are good and organised too.

    Have cleaned dr floor as they have been painting, and dd dropped her brush, is splatted everywhere. I know they love painting but it does make me nervous lol.

    Kitchen is a bit messy, although I've washed up the paint stuff, just a bit of mess to put away. I put all my dry stuff flour etc in the freezer last week when I had the creepy crawly problem, and I don't seem to have anywhere to keep it now. Needs a home.

    Done 3xwm including a hot run with soda crystals, pulled out the filter (was clean except for one lonely bit of fluff, but lots of blue water came out).

    Just going to sort dd out hopefully she will have a nap now x

    All done :D I always make a 30 minute play list for doing stuff like that so when I get to the last song I really hurry up!

    Managed to clean the bathroom and put the mountain of clothes in our bedroom back in the wardrobe.

    :j well done! It never ceases to amaze me how much you can get done in half an hour whereas usually if I don't put a time limit on it, I can't be bothered doing it!
