    Morning all, may I join in? I've sacked my cleaner as she was rubbish so I need the motivation to get this done myself! I'm home sick today so need to take it easy but I'm determined to complete L1 at least. Is that a good enough excuse not to tondonthe oven ;)

    I will figure out how to add a photo later but on the train to work and just updated my BUJO (bullet journal) for the week and guess what is on my to do list this week... the oven! Made me chuckle when I saw this post as I guess I'll be doing the oven tonight when I get home! :rotfl:
    Well lets see - I dip in and out of MSE all the time but I still come back - have done since 2007!!!

    Morning all. I'm in, thanks for the lists Valli and Natty.

    So far today I have:

    Washed the breakfast dishes
    Walked the dogs
    Dusted the dusty bits in the LR
    Put out rubbish and recycling
    Hoovered downstairs

    About to clean a large appliance. The oven got done last week because it was repaired, the WM is broken (awaiting replacement), so I will do the fridge/freezer.

    Should be able to get that done in the 40mins before the paid stuff.

    Have a great day everyone.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    Welcome katzen xx

    Hugs embb and positivity vibes to pull you through.

    I'm having a day at home today - I've already vacced through all downstairs. Waiting for Mr A delivery- the fridge is bare! Little squeaks have eaten the last of the veg for breakfast!

    My oven is ok so will just give it a quick wipe round and spray the inner of the door with "elbow grease" and let it sit a while. I'm going to need a big basket to pick up all the tat that is lying around too. So I foresee a day of putting away, and might even get up in the loft to look at festive supplies...

    Right, I'm going to move! Now!

    Kitchen done! Even cleaned the oven (wasn't dirty, obvs don't cook enough ;)) and de-scaled the coffee machine. Groceries sorted, squeakers given celery and other goodies, Halloween stuff and suitcase put in loft, laundry collected and folded on my bed ready to put away, cuppa made, and I'm now sat with a pile of socks to pair, feet in front of the heater :D

    I've got swim stuff ready for later, and we're just having a simple tea tonight.

    After my cuppa I'll check through my little food store, have some lunch and then I might even have a little snoozy on our new sofa :)
