....has made me realise just how inadequate my efforts have been during the holidays Blush

I am glad that nobody else saw how full the Hoover was when I'd finished - I did a proper job; moved all the furniture that I was physically capable of moving, on top of the wardrobes, all light fittings etc but nevertheless!

Just got to mop now and remake the beds and I'll be done!

Phew!

Well I planned to do it but MN and a cup of tea was too strong a pull Grin

lisa me too. :o

I need to empty out the desk drawers and the 'making things' cupboard. Both are so stacked that I have nowhere to store my filing. Have been putting off both jobs...

I have done bits and pieces during the holidays, but today I deep cleaned the upstairs bathroom, scrubbed the kitchen and hoovered.

Yes Jax, bits and pieces describes what I did during the holidays. This deep clean was definitely well overdue Blush

I was due to start wallpaper stripping once I'd finished cleaning, not sure that's going to happen!

I kept on top of laundry, hoovering, floor washing and cleaning the bathrooms, but nothing actually got a deep clean.

Today is a new week, kids back at school and hopefully things will stay clean (er) once they have had a thorough scrubbing.

It sounds like my house is filthy, it isnt, but its not as clean as it usually is. Blush

V clean and tidy but Lordy me the flies and cobwebs ( I live near a farm!) I've been tidying draws and cupboards and clearing like billio but really need to dust floorboards and clean windows! Ive got loads of painting and decorating to do before Xmas too!
