    You know I'm only messing right pigpen? :beer: (<--don't worry they're really filled with vodka and orange not beer ;):rotfl::rotfl: )

    I think it is more like 3 miracles!! I cleaned the grill pan which is 'almost' the oven.. AND mopped the floor.. AND did some ironing.. all in one day!!!!!!

    Vodka and lemonade next time please.. if you don't mind.. I like it clear.. it means I can see if there is anything floating in it!! (the barmaid has REALLY REALLY bad psoriasis!!!)

    Ebay ? thanks for your help so far - I have sent the second chance offer and the 2nd bidder would like the item, neither of us know what to do now - I guess she has a button to push? Thanks guys.

    Off to swimming lessons now

    Dustykitten-Your item should be re-listed and only available for her to click buy it now at the price she bid, quite easy when you know how!

    Still no flying done today, well apart from empty and load DW and empty and fold TD so I suppose I have done a bit!;) Just about to take DD1 for her jab and then it will be dinner time so will have to crack on after tea.

    When you did the second chance offer she will have got an email she has to open the email.. and read it... ;)

    There is a big yellow rectangle which will open the relevant page and it is completed like a buy it now sale.. really simple.. IF she actually reads the email!! :rolleyes:

    Best ring hubby and pre-warn him the kitchen floor is scratched to hell.. he will go ballistic when he gets in and sees it!!!!

    Well it took me all day to gain the energy to do the kitchen, but now I have...

    Terrible Tuesday - Kitchen and [STRIKE]Dining Room[/STRIKE] -Don't have one!
    Level One
    [strike]Clean floors[/strike]Tick
    Level Two
    [strike]Clear and wipe kitchen surfaces[/strike]Tick
    [strike]Sort fridge bringing what needs using soon to the front, clean out any spills or grots in there![/strike]Tick
    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 I was going to clean the oven...honest...but I realise I have no oven cleaner!! It will have to wait until next week (I did wipe the door inside & out thou)
    [strike]Clean cupboard door fronts and fronts of appliances[/strike] .. don't forget those kick boards.. Door fronts done, kick boards not!
    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:
    • [strike]Wipe window sills and clean windows in these rooms[/strike]Tick
    • [strike]Wipe down any tiles and shine those taps.. a toothbrush is great for cleaning away the gunk![/strike]Tick
    • [strike]Write an inventory of your cupboards contents and what needs using first[/strike]Not much in there :sad: but all in date
    • 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!!!

    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Photogenic I've been Money Tipped!
    Why can't I write my shopping list out? I'm struggling like mad here to work out what goes where on the list (I put all chiller stuff together, all the fruit together etc so I can see what I need to get from each section). My brain hurts!!!
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!
  • someone give me a kick up the backside, plasterer left hours ago, I went shopping and now have no interest in doing the kitchen !
