    Monday - Kitchen
    Level One

    Remove everything from the fridge, meal plan, wipe the inside, wash out the drawers, wipe the door seal, check the drain hole is clear - put stuff back, with stuff to use first at the front
    Level Two
    Clear and wipe the sufaces
    Polish any granite, stainless steel etc
    Hoover and mop the floor
    Level Three
    The larder/food cupboards, empty it all out, add to your meal plan, write a shopping list of basics you may run out of over Easter. Wipe out the cupboards and replace after wiping sticky jars and binning/donating stuff which has been in there forever which you really will never use - share your most bizarre find - pictures welcome
    Extras
    HHMe time - just to sit and think or flick through a magazine
    Wipe and water plants
    Do you still need to organise/buy easter eggs or gifts?


    I am in this week.

    Kitchen is still looking good from yesterday, apart from needing another sweep and mop, (I wish mad dog would wipe his feet when in comes in from the garden) so will concentrate on HHI x zillions after doing the paid stuff.

    Have a good week all xx

    Morning all :)

    In as much as possible this week - kitchen not too horrendous actually so it feels doable today!

    I have dd2 poorly today so I foresee much cbeebies and maybe I'll get a chance to finish a few bits and get in the garden :j I managed to declutter another half a wheel bin worth of brambles yesterday and the bottom of the garden is looking much better :D

    We had an awful night - we're used to awful nights, but this was another level. DH escaped the puking/hot baby chaos of our bedroom to ds's bedroom - only to have ds moan about the dark and fidget like a maniac. So after a DH meltdown I had fidget-boy and hot vomit baby in the bed with me and DH in ds's room alone :rotfl:

    anyway onwards and upwards!
