    Killer Kitchen - Monday
    Level Two
    Mop the floor
    Clean the gacky filters and drawers from DW's, WM's etc
    Level Three
    Clean all those small appliances, wipe their home then put them back.. .


    Extras
    • HHI .. with your clean iron!!
    • Clean windows and sills
    • treat the pets for fleas!!! This is prime time for them to be developing an infestation.. the last thing you need in your house! (still not done mine.. bad me!)
    Deep clean challenge day one.. I do not want anyone straining themselves so if this is too much or not sensible because you'll hurt yourself don't do it!! Listen to your body.

    • Empty the cupboards and clean the entire insides, start with the worst cupboard!!.. shelves, everything.
    • Get rid of the chipped plates etc.. the chipped parts harbour germs of disgusting proportions as the pottery but it porous they have lots of places to hide.. revolting.. get rid!
    • Figure out what needs using up first and work it into your meal plan this week!
    • Clear clutter from shelves and wipe them over.. I want to see empty spaces and shiny shelves!!

    :beer: Thank you, FlyFriends, for all your good wishes and posi-vibes :beer:


    Next step is to arrange a survey on the house we're buying, but my son didn't see anything wrong on Saturday so I'm not expecting any big problems. We hope to move in June :D

    That was a l--o--n--g morning! But I have done some urgent paper work - not house-related ;)

    Ionafan that s wonderful news. how close to your DS will you be? Hoping it all goes very smoothly.

    Picking up a car for DS1 and me to share later today. I'm keeping my car too as although old and big it is invaluable for carting stuff to the dump, holidays etc and not worth much to sell.

    DS2 looking at unis he wants to visit. Setting his sights very high!

    flying - not got to that yet.

    TMD how you feeling (I get worse as the day goes on)
