Deep clean / jobs you put off doing.

Looking for suggestions here. I'm off work to study (officially) however I've been putting it off and taking breaks all day for 'ooh I was meaning to get around to that' jobs. So far I've done all the windows, cleaned the oven, organised wardrobes, deep cleaned every inch of the bathrooms, hoovered every nook and cranny. Anyone have any suggestions for other not every day housework things I can do to keep me going / that you use as useful procrastination? Grin

Otherwise, looking at the things that really should be cleaned sometimes more often here
Ceiling lights (chandeliers, etc)
Curtain poles
Inside radiators
Powder compartment of washing machine
Freezer
Inside kitchen cabinets
Light bulbs in lamps

The list goes on...

Woodwork; attic clear out; audit broken light bulbs; cull your hot press contents (if you have one) ; clean extractor fan filters etc....

Empty the fridge and take out all the shelves. Wash them (careful!) an clean out all the mank from where they normally sit.

Clean behind radiators.

Take all tiny fiddly ornaments of DD's dressing table and clean them and clean the dr table and put them all back. Ditto DS2's trophy shelf.

I never do any of those things unless really desperate.

thanks, they'll keep me going a few hours. I've never been in the attic here though so I'm not going to brave that one. I've no idea if anyone has been in it since DP bought this place (6ish years ago Confused )
