Anyone fancy a Sunday cleaning thread?

[giraffesCantDookForApples]

Going to gut the place today, happy to chatter away to myself on here but feel free to join in with me for moral support/virtual tea/whatever!

Washing on
Now off to strip bedding and clean bathroom

I'm painting today does that count?
As soon as DD is collected by her dad I'm in the attic painting the; finally dry; newly plastered walls.
Carpet down on tuesday then I will move my bed up and have a lovely new big bedroom.
DD goes into my old room which is twice the size of her existing one.
Win win all round.

Sounds like a good plan, what colour?

yeah i'm in for a sunday clean. got the in laws over later for the afternoon so need to do a tidy up myself!!

my list is

• hoover downstairs
• clean toilet
• put away ironing board and clothes
• tidy away childrens toys from lounge
• clean and tidy kitchen

hows your cleaning going giraffes? Done the bathroom and bedding yet?

Yes done them (floor too), also done a general tidy and put 2 washes on and hung one up
Having to sit down cos got very breathless due to fumes.
Not sure what to do next, maybe clean windows.

I've already started but DH and DS are in the way so I'm cleaning around them. Downstairs is hoovered and dusted, kitchen is clean, laundry is on. I'll tackle the bathroom as soon as everyone is showered and dressed. And then I'll Hoover and dust upstairs later this afternoon after we've been food shopping... And finally... Ironing tonight (but I'll have to find something to watch because I normally iron when downton abbey is on).

Gosh my Sundays are exciting.

Food shopping then start the housework. Or the other way round? Living the dream here.

I'll watch you from under a blanket on the sofa in my pyjamas. If any of you want to get me a while you are up, that'd be grand

washing's done, dishwasher empty and kitchen clean. What more can you ask?

every sunday is cleaning day in my house. already i have tidied and wiped over kitchen, loaded dishwasher, changed the bin bag, put some washing on the line and another load in the machine. am next going to do some hoovering after i've finished this cuppa and get off mn.

I'm done except for the ironing... Phew!

DH has taken DS for a walk so I'm on the sofa drinking coffee and eating iced buns!

I have done everything except the ironing too. But DH and DCs are due back from football v soon so the muddy kits and boots etc will be everywhere.

Yes sparkling I know why you mean... I'm savouring my clean and tidy house because it really will NOT last once my boys get home.

I've done bugger all! Had a sort of cleaning day in mind, but then the glorious weather made this a no-go today. Might do it later when it's dark. My house is a mess and this is not how I like to live at all but sometimes I just feel irked at having to spend my day off cleaning up. Get no help either which makes it even harder.

I'm cleaning, only having a quick tea break, I'm late starting due to being out last night and not getting up til midday oops...

Dh and I have
emptied bins
washed my bedding & about 8 more loads........had to put the heating on to try and dry it all! Still got 1 load on the floor waiting!
sorted dd2's room including her draws because we got her sisters old clothes out the attic yesterday as dd2 has had a growth spurt so they have all been washed so now I need somewhere to put them all.
Food shopping collected and put away
cleared the pile of clean dishes off the draining board

now I'm off to
dust and hoover from top to bottom
clean bathrooms
mop floors
put more and more clothes away
make our bed

dh is ironing and then going to collect dd's and fix his dads printer

I can see me sitting down again about 7ish if I'm very lucky! and dont keep sitting down

trying to ignore the fact i feel eurggh hangover tired cba

since my last post this morning i have:

• hoovered downstairs
• changed all beds
• done done both washing loads and dried on the line and is back inside. Will iron whilst watching tele tonight
• cleaned main bathroom (bath, sink, shower, loo, floor)
• cleaned downstairs toilet room (loo, sink, floor)

i'm quite happy with what i've managed to get done today :) its always nice to start the week with a clean and tidy house i think.

Good going lucytails!

cleaned upstairs bathroom
hoovered upstairs
Finished dd2's room
rotated more washing

everyone on here has been busy today it seems. I sucessfully did all my tasks before the in law arrived and now i have just cleared up and wiped down the kitchen. May do a quick clean of the bathroom and call that it for today i think.
