Mumto5 - my stepdad wrote his father of the bride speech mid morning on the day of my wedding - I got married at 1pm :D


This week we are having a Deep Cleaning challenge.. dislodge those spiders.. chase out those bugs and degrot the grotty spaces. This is time-consuming.. so if you can't manage it, it doesn't matter.. but flying just keeps things ticking over and sometimes a better scrubbing is needed..let's see how this goes!

Monday Musings ~ Kitchen and Dining Room
15 minutes...
Clean kitchen floors
Vacuum dining room - spot clean carpet
30 minutes to spare...
Clear and wipe kitchen surfaces
Sort fridge bringing what needs using soon to the front, clean out any spills or manky stuff in there!!
Wipe dining table..
Got an hour...
Dust any extra furniture in dining area, checking for cobwebs on way round
Wipe and replace all those small appliances.. kettle, toaster etc
Clean cupboard door fronts and fronts of appliances .. don't forget those kick boards..


Extra Mission ~ Choose one or more of:

• One load of washing
• Empty bin and make it smell nice
• Wipe window sills and clean windows in these rooms
• Clear and wipe the tops of the wall units!!
• Clean oven if you didn't do it last week
• 30 minutes ironing.

Deep Clean Challenge
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!!!

Thank you for the lists, I know it seems as though I didn't do much last week, but it's because I didn't really post rather than that I was lazing - promise! DH has been really helpful this weekend and we've managed to sling 4 binbags of various tat, as well as adding to the now mountainous car boot pile. Hopefully next Sunday will be as lovely weather-wise as this one and we'll be able to get rid of it all!

Got loads to do this week - both decluttering and cleaning - scary times. Got no excuse as DD is settled at uni and the stuff left over seems to be mine. So will flutter gently to my own tune - if that is ok? x

I'm in again, sorry I haven't caught up with last weeks thread... Hope everyone is well...

Flying has still been ongoing, even though I haven't reported any! I've yet to do any ironing and the bedrooms could do with a Hoover and a fling boogie tomorrow lol, but other than that its pretty good

See you during the week I'm sure xx

DS has 2 badges to be sewn onto his cub uniform so I will take it into work with me and do it in my break.
Not sure when the teachers strikes are meant to be so I need to find that out. DD's school will be saving £10k in wages that day and a using it to resurface some of the really ruined parts of the grounds.

Thanks for list. Feel I've managed a bit of a head's start, having whizzed around for dinner guests on Friday. So should manage a few of the extras.

Extra extras aka my focus:
clear piles of paper in kitchen
keep on top of falling apples etc in garden - freeze, eat, give away
FINISH decluttering floor of office.
Make good effort at lists
My challenge: write another paragraph of holiday article.

I'm in again, didn't go too well for me last week. Lots of problems with my sons (special needs) and just too exhausted but tomorrow is the start of a new week and I have no choice but to keep on keeping on and will try do it in a cleaner house!

Thanks for the list!
