    Oven scrubbed, hob scrubbed, work surfaces scrubbed.
    Going to wait until the dark cycle is finished, then lob it on the line. After I shall try the washing powder on the shelves, and they can soak while I cycle to the supermarket for some potatoes & something for my tea.
    No idea what to have yet, fancy something light that doesn't take much cooking. Maybe I can pick up some nice ham for a salad?

    Woke up feeling utterly down - so spent most of the day trying to pull myself out of it... which means my list looks like this...

    Killer Kitchen - Monday
    Level One
    Clear and wipe work surfaces
    Level Two
    Sweep and Mop the floor
    Clean the gacky filters and drawers from DW's, WM's etc
    Wipe the cupboard fronts, all the appliances and all those manky corners!!
    Level Three
    Empty and clean out the fridge.. including the drain hole bit at the back..
    Pick a cupboard and empty and clean it out and replace only what you wish to keep!
    [STRIKE]
    Take Duvets to Cleaners AM
    Bank kids change
    Buy invites and thank you notes.
    [/STRIKE]

    Strawberry Jam
    Pack for going down to Papa’s
    Pack J’s Stuff *is suit clean? Shirt/tie etc. Shoes?
    Make some lollies/cookies/muffins
    Rag Bag – sort through M, R, P & E wardrobe. Shoes and Ironing Baskets
    Batch cook Mash
    2nd coat lhs fence @ front

    DW/WM and stuff out on the line. Picked up little people from school and took in a Rag Bag. Also picked up some summer shirts for DS in the hope that helps him feel cooler.

    *sigh* I think I will hoover the lounge tonight (that is all it needs) and then do the kitchen tomorrow. Hopefully I can do the batch cooking tonight so that the kitchen stays clean... for a couple of hours tomorrow.

    :T for everyone who has has a productive day - there seems to be a lot of you today :T

    Hugs for those in need too...

    :hello: - to everyone who is joining in

    Suzie - I have my little people are 7/5 & 3 - the youngest is in at nursery 2 full days a week so I try and make the most of those days - she only naps in the car now :rolleyes: Only now have I even contemplated being interested in trying to keep the house tidy :rolleyes:

    Back later with some jobs done - hopefully ;)

    I have 2 littlies who are 4 & 3! The 4 year old is at school full time and the 3 year old is at nursery 2.5 days whilst I go to work.

    I manage more now than I did when we had 2 babies at the same time! I also wonder how you do it Pigpen? Did you always want a large family? I would LOVE loads more kids but just don't think we could afford them lol!

    Dark cycle is on the last spin, so I'm off.
    Will catch up with you all later
