Deep Clean Challenge
Empty, clear and clean the inside of a cupboard. Sort the magazine/newspaper heap. the one big pile of 'hotspot' we merged last week.. give it a more thorough sort through.. you do not need bills going back the last 24 years or invalid insurance policies!!

oh sod it, I cleared and cleaned one shelf in the living room, moped the floor and flicked the fluffy brushy thing about at the cobwebs.
Also, I filled and binned 1 bin bag from 'The Tip' aka, master bedroom, put loads of clothes away, packed the winter quilt away (I hate it!) and finally found the sleeping bag cover from weeks ago. Oh, S&S bog and sink and will S&S kitchen soonish, before bed anyway.


DS1 was staying at Grans, but ended up home with a sore throat and needing mummy. Thats after the two trips I made to bring him stuff from home, first trip, clothes and a jacket and a wii game, but i forgot a DVD he asked for. So He sat and guilt tripped me into going for the DVD (and jammies, calpol and pop corn) saying 'my throat will be lots better with the DVD'. Only for Papa to bring him up an hour later!

Evening everyone, just been down to my sister's all evening and finally have tenancy agreement ready to send.
Homeworks all done, now need to sort uniform's, bags, PE kits.
heads thumping tonight so think i'll head to bed soon.

Lil_me DD was 920grams when she was born, the smallest baby to born at the hospital, she was like a wee baby kitten waiting for her to open her eyes as they were closed for first month. I'm glad your friend has a side room and is able to care for matthew as we weren't really allowed near DD.

Well done Tia, they put the lever in such weird places.

DS1 came home from school today with a letter from a girl who is a year older that him saying that she really likes him and wants to be his friend and at the end wrote friends forever... How cute but he say's yuck and he doesn't like her because she keeps following him round class and the playground.
DD was away on school trip and insisted that she got no dinner at school and when i said she got a packed lunch she told me it didn't count as it is cold and dinners are hot. I think my kids are all mad.

Hey all, I am back from visiting my bro!! My house is still nice and clean but I'm enjoying this flying so I'll keep cleaning etc anyway!
I only joined last week and I've turned into a clean freak. My bro's flat was getting messy and I was itching to clean it!

So lets have a look at what needs doing tomorrow.

Terrible Tuesday - Kitchen and Dining Room
Level One
Clean floors
Level Two
Clear and wipe kitchen surfaces
Sort fridge bringing what needs using soon to the front, clean out any spills or grots in there!
Wipe dining table.. (clean table cloth if necessary)
Level Three
Dust any extra furniture in dining area, checking for cobwebs on way round
Wipe and replace all those small appliances.. kettle, toaster etc
Clean oven if you didn't do it last week
Clean cupboard door fronts and fronts of appliances .. don't forget those kick boards..
Check those washing machine filters and drawers for ickiness!! Tumble dryer and dishwasher filters need to be done too!!
Extra Mission
Choose one or more of:

• Wipe window sills and clean windows in these rooms
• Wipe down any tiles and shine those taps.. a toothbrush is great for cleaning away the gunk!
• Write an inventory of your cupboards contents and what needs using first
• Empty the cutlery drawer.. clean it out, wash the cutlery tray, chuck those baby spoons you don't use any more.. how many medicine spoons do you actually need? get rid of everything you don't use and make the drawer look nice again!

Deep Clean Challenge
Get in that junk/spare stuff/'quick.. hide it in there' cupboard. Give it all GOOD scrub out before placing the things you need to keep.. I bet 90% of that can go in the bin!!. If no junk cupboard do a foody one! Feel free to get carried away and do more cupboards!!!

Also...

Daily Tasks:
Dishes
Brush dog
Walkies
Clean yard

To do list:
Wash and vacuum car. Check oil, tyre pressure etc.
