Is there any way you can slide the glass out so you could soak it in the bath with a strong solution? I know not all ovens make that possible.

As for the elbow grease lacking ... maybe you could save the task for when you have a pmt week, or for when your OH ticks you off? I find I'm most industrious at those times :whistle: :shhh:

I have had a good look at it and apart from unscrewing the whole door (which I have been known to do on my old oven door!) it looks like elbow grease is the answer. Its only 6 months old so how did it get so bad? I think I'd better go to PO and see if they have any more robust scourers. Not MS I know but necessary. If it doesn't work then I will leave it until I feel like exploding about something. At this rate I won't get anything else done today.

Manic Monday - Kitchen and Dining Room
Level One
Clear and wipe kitchen surfaces -done, many times!
Level Two

Clean microwave -done
Clean floors- only dyson'd
Dust any extra furniture in dining room, checking for cobwebs on way round- actually dusted cobwebs, and there were about six, does anyone else clean without their glasses on, and then think ' idiot you are short sighted, you can't see cobwebs 'cause you need your glasses on!!?'
Wipe dining table (clean table cloth if necessary) -done
Sort fridge bringing what needs using soon to the front -done yesterday

Level Three
Wash the washer drawer out if it's gunky -done
Wipe window sill, clean any marks off window if required-??
Clean cupboard door fronts and the front of appliances-done
Clean oven if you didn’t do it last week -tried but got defeated, will wipe every day and see if it gets better!
Also waited for Avon delivery driver, put BM on, been to Tesco, had lunch, got LO in bed for nap, got Avon order checked off and bagged up ready to take out later!

Thanks to everyone who inspired me today, Queenie, i'm going to try your teabread and even fudge, DH has to have Gluten free diet so will see how we go,

Afternoon, just a quick updated post. hugs to all who want one.. Baby had his longest ever lie in today till 8am but then we were running round like idiots for DH to get to work and me to take one the dogs to vets, baby now is on this 2nd snooze of the day, lazy bones. Not feeling too great today, feel really down, not sure if I'm coming down with something or if everything is coming back to surface again. To top it off had an agruement with Vet about my dog and refusing to give me some valium for his nevres, have used 8tablets in the past year and she didn't want to give me more. Made me feel like I drug him for an easy life, am supposed to just leave to almost have a heartattack at firework time am I?! I love my dogs, am responsible with them and feel upset by her treatment, definatley with not she her again. Not done too much of list, did alot yesterday so have been playing with baby most of day.

Just popped in to see how everyone is doing, I am feeling a bt better just now. Had to make a phone call this morning and was felt like I had been kicked in the stomach afterwards. Anyway after a chat with a friend I felt better and that there are other avenues to approach.

Got a PO run to do for ebay and then makro after school for a job olot of white vinegar amongst other things, thanks for reminding me to add it to the list tracy

See you all later

Hi everyone,

I haven't been around for over a month now - Easter holidays, then two week placement wrecked my usual routine! In truth, I'm only here today because it's raining too much for me to be outside gardening!:D

I had to do some housework this morning before I even thought about sitting down at the PC, or nothing would have got done.

So, I haven't done the proper list, but I do have a shiny sink, have wiped worktops, cleaned cloakroom, cleaned bathroom, two loads of washing and have also vaccuumed all downstairs.

Enough for today!

Have done all of list today except paperwork which I aim to do after this break. Have had oven professionally cleaned last week, so now I just need to keep it that way, and not let it build up again.
