    Okay I've emptied the TD, loaded it again and reloaded the WM. Washed all the dishes, cleared and cleaned the work surface I use all the time (the rest are just cluttered - I really need to sort them out:o). I've also put away most of the remnants of DS's party which were on the kitchen floor but now I need to go and fetch DD from school, go to the tip then nip to Asda or Mr Ts and must get DS a birthday card from somewhere - don't let me forget!

    Just joined, lurked a while.
    Have done the kitchen and dining room as best as I can.
    I don't ever use the dishwasher clean cycle (machine too old to have one!)
    However I do wipe the goo off (sometimes) from the rubber seals and under the door. As the dishwasher effectively sterilizes the insides each wash I only clean the bits that are not inside the rubber seal.
    Works for me. No smell ever.

    Afternoon all, was morning when I first looked on here but I got distracted......

    Still on "holiday" but I've wiped down all the kitchen worktops and cleaned the floor. Also dusted and vacuumed living room and through hallway. One load of washing done and dried outside - just got the last bits in as the rain started.

    Also been to the garden centre and a couple of shops but didn't spend too much ;)


    Welcome M.E. :)

    Just having a naughty bit of choccie till the kids come in from school, then probs go round to OH's and see what jobs he wants doing. Then I'll give him a list of jobs I want doing here, swapsies! :T

    I've finished my jobs on the list for today, I've worked really hard.
    I seem to be cleaning etc all day. How many weeks will it take until I'm just managing an hour or so a day to keep on top of things?
    Going to put the oven cleaner on the oven overnight, so I still have that to do, also need to wash the light fittings above the cooker. I may do that tonight after dinner and continue to potter through the kitchen cupboards.
    I've looked on ebay and all the george foreman grills, barr one are brand new, so I don't think I'll bother listing mine.
    I've found a couple of other things that I might list though, just not sure how they'll sell.
