OK, it's Sunday morning. Most people are probably having a ly in or just watching kids TV. Not me. I'm about to deep clean the bathrooms. Ask me anything. Cleaning or non cleaning.

Do you have a nice big apron? A crossover pinny?
Can you still get those black sleeve protectors that footmen wear on Downton for cleaning the silver?
I don't mind cleaning but I like to dress for it, choose the right earrings etc.
Which earrings did you choose? Pics please.
Btw I'm not cleaning. I'm sitting in a café in Paris enjoying the thought of you cleaning

No worries borntobequiet my sarcasm detector normally switches on out of habit when I log on to mumsnet 
I don't talk politics on mumsnet. Mumsnet to me is like a pub. Don't talk about politics or religion.
I have no cleaning apron no. I'm not familiar with these black sleeve protectors. I'm not wearing ear rings right now either. Not even showered yet. I'll do that once I've done the cleaning. That way I can admire the clean bathroom whilst I stand in the shower what are you doing in Paris today?
OK I've put a new washing load on, divided washed clothes between laundry horse, radiators and tumble dryer. Beds also been made. Right gonna clean the downstairs loo next up and I must not return to mumsnet until its done!!

OK downstairs loo done.
Dh to be fair has just cleaned my car for me. And he's going to go to the supermarket and do the weekly food shop. I think I'd actually rather clean than go to a Sunday busy supermarket. Plus he's gonna take ds generally though dh does the diy and gardening. He also does the bins and takes it upon himself to wash up the dishes. Oh he also cooks and does his own ironing.
Kitkats. I eat one finger at a time. I miss the old foil wrapping though. I use to slide my finger nail down the middle of the kitkat fingers and snap it off like they used to in the TV adverts. It's not the same anymore without the foil. One of life's little pleasure taken robbed. And no dunking fullstop.
What's a jamon?

I am loving this thread while drinking a cup of tea.
It’s making me think about cleaning my bathroom, which to be fair, does need a good scrub.
It does get a quick swish to get rid of toothpaste splatters, etc, but don’t have time to clean inside the cistern more than once a week 
for shame!
The kids are refusing to leave the house today, and DH is in bed poorly, so may finish up my tea and crack on!

Are they not still in foil and paper wrapper when bought in a multi-pack?
I have a vivid memory of recently doing a foil rubbing of the Kit Kat logo before sliding my fingernail down the centre and my husband (speaking with his mouthful of un-rubbed Kit Kat, the ignoramus) saying 'What a palaver!'
Is my memory playing tricks with me?

It’s good because you can literally ask anything. For example:
OP, what is the speed of light?
Even if OP can’t recall this instantly, she can quickly Google and respond. Then everyone reading knows the speed of light. I’ll try it:
OP, what is the speed of light?
Now we await her reply. She might have to mop something first, so it might take a few minutes.

Main bathroom was cleaned. Sorry no photos. Just opening my house and myself up to a whole barrage of criticsm on mumsnet.
I think even the multi pack kitkats are in the new plastic wrappers too. I maybe wrong though.
Meh to the dullest thread award.
Google'd the speed of light 299 782 458 metres per second.
