Does the cleaning routine feature a rest day ππππJanuary spends - Β£587.581

It's not too bad @beanielou - I get out of some of the routines as I've already carried out a few jobs recently before taking on the Full Monty, plus some of them don't apply to me, like not having a Laundry room to clean!π
I can take a day off if I want to @milann!π. You can take your own time with everything as long as you follow the order set out in the book.
Didn't Β do much today - I picked up some coats from the dress agency that she didn't want - she has kept one coat though to sell. I'm going to put the rest on Vinted tomorrow. Later that afternoon I had a walk up to Iceland as I'd nearly run out of frozen fruit. It was a nice walk as the weather, although changeable today, is still mild and I didn't need a jacket.ΒI did today's cleaning routine when I got back, then read a bit more Poldark. This evening I've been watching 'The Girlfriend' which is the new thriller series on Amazon Prime. Not bad so far.ΒSCRIMPY MSE THINGS
Apart from the frozen fruit, nothing else was spent.ΒCLEANING ROUTINE
Saturday - Day 9
Cleaning - Shower Curtains - which I don't have. I have a glass shower cubicle. I do wipe down the insides every time I shower but gave the outsides a good wipe with a microfibre cloth then polished them.ΒOrganising - Linen Closet/Shelves
i don't have a specific linen cupboard. My clean bath sheets are rolled up in a bottom shelf in one part of my wardrobe. The bath towels and flannels are stored in a deep drawer in my bedroom tallboy. Β Bedding lives in a wicker laundry basket in the bedroom. I only keep enough towels for my needs and if I have any guests staying. Also the same with bedding - I keep enough for me and guests. I'm quite ruthless with linen as I don't have a lot of room to store it so when I replace anything the old stuff leaves the house! So apart from dusting the shelving and straightening, there was nothing else to do here.Β
Maintenance - Daily Cleaning with Emphasis on Living Room
Vacuumed the blind, dusted lamp shades, pictures, shelving and TV.ΒWiped down light switch and door
Vacuumed the sofa and chair and floor
Thats it for today!ΒFinally Debt Free! - July 2016 π
