    Morning everyone. I'm still in bed reading but have poured bleach round the loo and seals on the bath and will get up at 8.30 and start!

    Can I ask what is a frog? I keep seeing it used but can't find it in the list of abbreviations:)

    Hope you're feeling better soon pigpen xx

    LW there is a link here to what it looks like:
    http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/tesco-price-comparison/Laundry/Morrisons_Household_Soaps_2x150g.html
    But it's "greyed out" so might have been discontinued. I have a box of 2 you can have :D I don't tend to use it now - if I want to pre-treat stuff I take the lazy option and squirt it with 'elbow grease' which is amazing, especially for whitening up school tops - which I guess you will have no need of ;)

    My ensuite is grimy, left the window open on a windy day and the sink is right in front of it - looks like someone tipped a bucket of dirty water down and didn't rinse, yuck.

    We are probably having a day out too, but not till mid-morning. Although DS is still in bed!

    Cuppa first, though!

    Morning

    I'm in thank you for all the lists and work that goes into them.

    So far
    Gather all washing up, stripped bed
    WM x 1 is on
    Whole house hoovered
    Bed remade
    Toilets bleached
    Bagless thingy emptied
    All bins emptied and cleaned out
    Chatter to Next door neighbour
    Made a food list
    Clean kitchen sides / fridge
    Kitchen floor sone

    It is sort of drizzling here, so not too sure yet what to do the the wet washing to get it dry yet.

    Drizzling here as well, and it wasn't forecasted so there was a bit of hasty getting-the-washing-in this morning.

    Ground floor dysoned, now on to the stairs after a dog walk.
    Better is good enough.

    Thank you for the thread Valli.

    I woke up today with really bad tinnitus so can hardly hear anything. Not a bad thing, really :)

    Feeling inspired to get stuck into bathrooms today. 3 to do so will work on level one for all three before going any further.
    Mr P has been really poorly with upset tummy so extra cleanliness is required. I have squirted anti bacterial spray on everything he might have touched.

    I now use citric acid in the loos to get rid of limescale. Works a treat and is cheap too. We are on a septic tank.

    :wave: Dorastar!

    Thanks for the thread Valli.

    I have less work on this week so hopefully more progress. I have been reading inspirational cleaning books again, honestly if I spent more time cleaning and less time reading then the house might actually get done.

    I have
    - walked the dog
    - emailed DS1 and various other people
    - done necessary church admin, which took ages (hopefully this is the last of the problems)
    - done the bathroom, levels 1-3
    - sent DH into town to buy new lightbulbs for the bathroom (and a few other bits) - I suspect he's chatting to his mates in the wargaming shop: it can't take this long to do what I sent him for!
    - folded up washing from the weekend
    - started WMx1
    - got another WM load ready
    - left Dy$0n upstairs, so it had better be bedrooms tomorrow, or I shall be flying off liste :D

    Now I really must start some studying...

    I have done the dust and vac through of the house, vacced the stairs, put the dry washing away, got one load in the wm, another one ready to go and done all 3 levels on the list. Having a sit down now while I wait for the wm to finish its first load.

    I can highly recommend leaving thick bleach to soak in the bathroom it only took a quick scrub with a green sponge thingy and it was all shiny :)
