Oh well done @Cheery_Daff I hate those sort of jobs!
I have finished another bottle of cleaning product, done seven vinted listings and prepared a couple more, and have made a pasta bake for dinner using up a bag of peculiar pasta in the cupboard and using some ginger. Why we have three jars of ginger I do not know

Actually some easy wins got me down to 57%! 🥳
I've been trying to do a 30 mins cleaning podcast each day (from the TOM Rocks app). Not particularly plan, I just put it on then potter about. Aiming for every day in April, and even just on day 3 it's nice because I'm getting to stuff I wouldn't have done otherwise. Today I ran a duster round the ceiling of the kitchen, and ended up doing behind/between the upright radiators too - don't think I've ever done that! Also got on a chair and cleaned the window behind the sink (it's set far back and I can't reach from the floor). Dont think I've ever done that either! 🙈😂
We've got visitors coming in about 90 mins, so I'm going to stick another one on and keep going. It'll be like a show home by the time they get here (and I'll probably be worn out and need to go to bed by 7pm) 😂

I'm having a bit of a sort out in the utility room as I need to move stuff in there from the garage (has to be emptied this weekend ready for builders on Tuesday) AND I'm trying to work out how to rearrange the utility room so it will actually be useful. So billions of cat and dog beds/blankets and towels have been washed (I think maybe these can be rationalised once clean!) while the electricity is cheap. More will be done tomorrow.

Excellent work @greenbee The blankets are definitely a one stage at a time job 😁

I need to wash the cat blankets from my bed as those are the ones that are used most. Otherwise they mostly make bedcovers grubby instead of sleeping in their own beds!

Excellent idea to get the cat blankets all washed!
I set to with the hoover attachment and did round the ceilings of all the downstairs rooms. Got rid of lots of cobwebs!
