    Decided to try to keep up with this for at least this week :rolleyes:


    Manic Monday - Kitchen and Dining Room
    Level One
    Clean floors
    Level Two
    [strike]Clear and wipe kitchen surfaces[/strike] Done this now
    Clean cupboard door fronts and the front of appliances
    Sort fridge bringing what needs using soon to the front
    [strike]Wipe dining table (clean table cloth if necessary) [/strike]
    Level Three
    Dust any extra furniture in dining room, checking for cobwebs on way round
    Wipe window sills, clean any marks off windows if required
    Wash the washer drawer out if it's gunky
    Clean oven if you didn’t do it last week

    Extra Mission
    Choose one or more of:
    • [strike]Wipe the outside of all your small appliances[/strike] Done this - it was quick and easy cos I only have a couple of small appliances :D
    • Clean out the freezer, I find the vacuum cleaner is good for getting up any crumbs in the bottom or stray peas etc. Defrost it if it needs it.
    • 27 fling, a good fling to start the week, less clutter less mess, well that's the theory anyway!
    • Clean any one cupboard, sort through what belongs in there, take out what doesn't and wipe before replacing
    Well I've managed to get one thing done today :rolleyes: but I have done other things that aren't on the list.
    Managed to get another couple of things done today :D

    I just tried wiping the self clean one, OUCH nearly ripped my hand to bits, it's made of very scratchy stuff, well apart from the bottom.

    Someone off freecycles coming to get the old one
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    OMG where did today go? :eek: Everyone has achieved so much, so well done everyone! :beer:

    Have just cleaned the top oven front, and found that the glass on the inside can be removed by unscrewing 2 metal bits that hold it on :D , so I've cleaned that too - it has made me realise how filthy the bottom half of the oven is, as the colour contrast is immense, but I've found that the bottom oven has removable glass too, so may give it a go. I used a paste of washing up liquid and bicarb that I heard mentioned on the thread, and it's come up a treat. :j Think I'll leave the inside of the oven til Friday, as I don't have a spare room, so this is usually catch-up day. :o

    Better get going as OH will be home in a min, and will wonder what I've been doing all day.

    Will check in a bit later to post crossed out list.
