    Can you understand people who have opened sprays and bottles, a pile of washed dusters and half used packs of scourers and dishcloths in their cleaning cupboards :huh:. My pile of unopened things looks much tidier, even if they are a bit dusty.

    I took the tree down and threw about 30 baubles away. 30 less to store (and the tree looked too full).

    First time I've peeped into this thread - spend most of my efforts on decluttering - but I have to admit that, since moving into this flat a year ago, I haven't once cleaned the inside of the windows :o. Come to think of it, we're 'upstairs' and the outsides haven't been done either :rotfl:.

    In fact, rear bedroom curtains haven't even been opened for around 6mths as I can't get close to them because of all the boxes still piled up in there :eek:.

    Don't feel bad. I recon the outside of my windows haven't been done for a good 10 years or so.

    Its getting to the state where I am wondering whether to bother with the insides as they still look dirty from the muck on the outside.:mad:

    Washing machine filter was blocked. Drained most of the liquid via the tube but quite a bit swooshed out when I opened the filter.

    I had several teatowels waiting for the next wash on the floor, so I soaked up the soapy water with them, then stood on them and shuffled all over the kitchen floor.

    Result - washing machine works and floor is clean :D
