Christmas cleaning thread!

[LoudestRoar]

I need to have a proper clean before Christmas, so need some accountability. Thought if I could check in here, it would keep me on track...feel free to join in! Right, I'm off to tackle the kitchen!

I am just doing the upstairs currently. 3 bedrooms and the bathroom done, just got the landing and stairs to do. Then tackle the downstairs. Husband has started on that but it will need me to finish it and do the kitchen. My task was to set him on clearing up all the crafting stuff from the kids but he has started actually cleaning as well!

I'm tackling laundry mountain at the moment so all the airers can be away by Christmas Eve. Then bathroom and living room.

Good luck all!

Kitchen done! Now for living room/conservatory!

That is on my to do list as well....... but last year I actually ended up doing laundry on Xmas day as everyone seemed to wear a trillion clothes and table cloths etc......

I'm about to change the sheets (to Christmas duvets), hoover upstairs and sort the huge pile of washing in our room, hopefully without Foster Dog coming to 'help!'

Finished work yesterday so blitzing the house is also on the agenda here. I dropped the kids off at school then changed all the beds, cleaned the bathrooms and have done a basket of ironing. Quick break for lunch before moving onto tidying/dusting/hoovering the bedrooms, lounge and dining room and hopefully will get time to deep clean the kitchen today although that might have to wait until the morning depending on how long everything else takes.

I am off to meet friends for lunch now, but will tackle hallway and downstairs loo when I return!

Kitchen is done here. Now to finish the dining room and I am finished bar the laundry. I need a shower, got very sweaty trying to get this all done quickly. Still got presents to wrap as well.

Staying with my sister and she's mad as paid for cleaners to come in do it yesterday while we were out and they didn't do her disabled daughters room and en suite! No idea why - they did the room my son is in which was odd as he's left the contents of his suitcase all over so they would have been justified skipping it (and we had no expectation they would do it as normally the room is empty). She left a Christmas tip for them too...

Everything is wrapped, presents all hidden, guest rooms ready, shopping is here, just need to pick up fresh salads, I'm about halfway through the cooking, puddings to do this afternoon. My lovely cleaner is coming to muck out shortly and her hand crocheted cardi is ready. She will be thrilled because she has been telling me for weeks that she wanted mine. I might even get out for a walk with the dog later

I'm having a big clean today as the in-laws are coming on Christmas eve. Oh its exhausting!

Did the bathrooms this morning.

I am done!!! Now to relax and enjoy Christmas!

I've not even finished wrapping up foster sons or DH gifts yet. Sitting room has been tidied and wooden floors steam.mopped. Stairs have been vacuumed. Still have kitchen, dining room to tidy and clean and foster sons bathroom could do with a clean but DH can do that and laundry because he's finished work for holiday now.

For some reason I thought starting a deep clan was a good idea. Shoot me now

I did all the food prep today, then did a big kitchen clean including floor and walls. Bathroom tomorrow. Bedrooms done well enough....

Today DH has cleaned the kitchen wiping down all cupboard fronts and is now steam mopping the floor. I'm going To do dining room this afternoon and DH said he'll do foster son's bathroom so most things will be finished by tonight. Then just to tackle the rest of the wrapping.
