6 hours today to get house and laundry sorted - anyone want to join me?

[Hollyhead]

House looks like a bombs hit it and due to a ridiculous schedule haven’t done any more than keep food preparation areas clean for about a fortnight. Going to start a blitz at 10, anyone else doing a big housework day today?

Good luck to you. Mine is all done yesterday (was a bombsite also).
I have dedicated today to funding the source of the weird smell in the living room 🤢

YES!

want to do maybe two hours and then off to the beach.

To do
Get dressed
Wash on (10)
Dishwasher emptied (10)
Hoover kitchen (5)
wash floor (15)
Hoover sofa in family room (15)
hoover floor in family room (5)
15 mins in each bathroom (45)

Op I could be up for this between toddler duties
I have a bad back but I'm living in a shit tip and can't stand it much more. Someone else blasting their housework might help me!

Although I'm really not great at cleaning and often make more of a mess before getting overwhelmed I am up for giving it a go

I'm putting a wash on now!

Stop funding it and it might move out!

I’ve done the dusting, floors and windows today and frankly I’m done. Let’s hope any visitors don’t go to the bathroom.

Me too. I've hardly done a thing all week and started to let things slip last week so my house is messier than usual. I have been so tired recently.

I've started. We'll sort of. Put a wash on and having my second coffee!

Power hour about to start with kids.

Excellent - I’ve started and got the kitchen back to normal so far. Next job is to get the first wash on and tidy the dining area!

good luck everyone!

Ok I am dressed and the first wash is on.
Now gonna empty the dishwasher and hoover the kitchen and wash the floor

It’s too hot for housework!

I have started as it will be too hot for me soon. Put wash on. Tidied kitchen. Watered garden. About to vacuum the living room and that will be about it for the day 🥵😬

I’ve put the washing on. Hung it out. Done a food shop and had a nap. I was obviously up far too early 😂😂

Okay, this has spurred me into action. House is a tip. Not one of these ‘messy but clean’ situations either lol. Need to vacuum everywhere, wash a bunch of floors, piles of laundry and polish shoes. And there are some windows which could do with a clean. And the bathrooms.

Can I join! I have tidied up the toys, done the washing up and put the recycling out. Hung one wash out, put another on and sorted the clean washing in to piles. The baby will wake up from his nap soon but I’m going to try and sweep up first. Last night I cleared out the fridge but I need to try and give it a scrub in the afternoon nap. I’ll worry about upstairs later!

Cat spray
spilt milk
Something fallen down a radiator

(previous sources of weird smells)

A UV light torch is handy for finding them

I'm in! Started about 7.30am this morning.

Sorted dishwasher and run a clean cycle
Cleaned pout 9 massive kitchen pan drawers - it's almost insta worthy.
Cleaned downstairs loo, only coz the little one peed all over it!

Now cleaning out the big kitchen cupboard - why are spices so messy?!

Need to do washing and a mountain high pile of ironing at some point!

I had a day like this yesterday, got through most of the list and did the food shop. Today I need to do floors and more laundry and get to the tip. Washing machine broke down earlier in the week and it was 4 days before the repairman could come so we've got a backlog!

Well done for all progress made so far and welcome to joiners!

First wash is on, and have done my first go though of dining area but hoping to do a bit more later. Next up is changing bedding and putting away 30 items of clean washing!

Done the first wash, put away laundry, tidied the front room hoovered & mopped, now onto the cat litter boxes and clean the kitchen. Hoping to be done by 12, house isn't to bad to be fair just needs a quick one.

Me! I started a new job this week and was not prepared for how busy I've been!
First was is in, listening to the Organised Mum kitchen clean now
Still to do:
Hallway
Living room
DD's room
Our room

DP and DD will do her room and DP will do the loos.

Also have a mound of ironing to work through this evening 😰

Well done all!

Finished the kitchen cupboards and just did a hoover of downstairs as was crumby from cleaning out the cupboard.

Having a little break with a well deserved homemade cupcake.

Will put washing on, have a shower and maybe tackle the playroom/take stuff to the charity shop.

Ironing tonight when it's cooler I think...

Right that’s my bed done (and mattress flipped 😇), and 30 items of washing away.

Next up I’m going to start the bathroom which is a more hated job of mine so I’m going to do it in chunks. First up bath and shower, the bath in particular is absolutely rank!

First wash is on the line, and I’ve hoovered downstairs.

So glad I sorted 4587 piles of clean washing last night with a glass of wine. It’s my most hated chore, and I’ve been letting it build up for ages.

Yes. I'm doing exactly the same!

I've put a washing on and binned some rubbish. Now been sitting on the couch for an hour staring at my phone! I could have been finished the full house by now 😂

Ok, progress update
first wash done and hung on the line
second wash on
Dishwasher emptied, refilled and on again 😜
Washing up done

Garden watered ( with can - hosepipe ban here) and roses deadheaded (I got distracted)

Now back in the house - want to hoover and wash kitchen floor but there is so much clutter on the surfaces! So gonna get a bin bag, set a timer and do a 10 minute sweep for rubbish / putting away first.
