  • HHI was successful, 2 baskets down - 2 to go (including the one currently in the WM) :eek: Lots of those things are DH's for work so that's helping towards getting another thing off my list too.

    I had left the undersink cupboard and my box of cleaning products soaking (I know!) so will go and degloopify and repack the cupboard now. Also took the opportunity to check the gas and electric meters and top them up. There was about a billion spiders in the cupboard, but I decided to be brave anyway :rotfl:

    ETA: Raph, I will join you for HHC - should hopefully give me enough time to get the undersink cupboard sorted and dust the lounge.

  • Phew, well the undersink cupboard of grossness has been suitably transformed. Am now being hassled by my little sister who is worryingly keen to see me (she must be after something :rotfl:) Anything gone is done - things are already looking better but still lots to do.

    Phew, don't feel I've done much, but I'm knackered already.

    Get in that cupboard under the sink and fling everything you don't use.. if it hasn't been used in the last 6 months you don't need it.. fling it!! Give it a GOOD scrub out before replacing the things you do use and need to keep. Feel free to get carried away and do more cupboards!!!

    I think I'm now going to do the dishes, then tackle something on my toots list, going to clean the bannisters. They haven't been touched since we moved in, over 2 years ago _pale_ luckily they're painted, so hot soapy water should do the job.

    Can anyone use a Morribunds Week 2 voucher? I can't, because I missed Week 1.

    The shower room is getting a bit of a drubbing, the scullery area is getting a sort out, the cupboard under the front steps has been tidied up.

    There are gibble nests everywhere I look.
    Better is good enough.

    Lounge and hallway all dusted and tidy (apart from the dogs' toys which are yet again all over the lounge like an explosion in a toyshop):D

    So my personal Tuesday list is up to date.:j

    I forgot to mention the other day when I said I'd managed a few rows of knitting - making that waistcoat is actually an item on my Toots list, because I've had the wool sitting there since I bought it in 2007, when we visited the Isle of Skye - it's from their local sheep, and is undyed, its natural colour being dark brown.:o I may eventually get my waistcoat!:D

    Time for Bailey & Cassie to have their afternoon exercise now.;)
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)
