[Nagoo]

with a lot of hyphens.

My house is a fricking TIP.

I shall be doing a proper good clean, and listing my many achievements for you all to ooh and aah over

Anyone want to join me?

Have a to fortify yourself, I need to dispatch DS to school, then we'll come up with a strategy :)

Me me me.

Got school run, a run and a bit of shopping to do... Then I will have to tackle something!

1. Floors downstairs
2. Put things away.

I think that will take most of the day! LOL

Ok so, we've dropped the bigger one at school, done the chemist and the shop ALDI. love ALDI and cbeebies has been installed to amuse the toddler [whatcanyoudo?]

I am going to get a washing basket to fill with crap to go upstairs, and then clean the kitchen.

My house is always a tip, but now it's actually really embarrassing. It's horrendous.

But, I'm too busy enjoying the peace and quiet just now to start cleaning.

I've half sorted out the bins and put them out the front.

Been for a run.

Unloaded and reloaded dishwasher

Dropped 2 DC at school/nursery

Hung some coats up .

Reloaded the washing machine with another load.

Now having a cup of tea and pondering going for a quiet mooch around the shops or should I do some cleaning?

I have DONE the kitchen.

Katy I pretended I was paying myself so I made myself see dirt I usually ignore

I cleaned my spice rack, kettle and toaster, and between the knobs on the cooker (wrapped knife handle in microfibre cloth).

So far today I have put a load of washing in in the hope I get it on the line and cleared the breakfast bar of the accumulated crap that comes from having my husband in the house.

I have also just washed the bathroom. I had forgotten our tiles are meant to be shiny

Living room tidied, dusted and hoovered, EVEN UNDER THE FURNITURE.

all the crap is on the dining table

Oh, and there was literally a crap on the telly unit after GooGirl had a nappy leakage incident while getting up close and personal with Mr Bloom

oh yeah i'm doing this, probably tomorrow now

I have SORTED OUT THE CRAP off the dining table and wiped down it and the chairs.

Ooh brew and biscuits and flowers! Yay!

I have stripped beds and put washing on.

Downstairs looks quite shiny, still got floors to do. I hate doing the floors even when I do them the lazy person's way [nobuckets]

I need to do an online food shop as well at some point today.

2nd load of laundry just beeped for drying (admittedly this can't slide during the holidays). My knees are crap, at the moment, so vacuuming (also daily, regardless) is DH's job, tonight.

I've tidied the boys' room after sorting out school uniform, and ordering new trousers for DS2, as out of the 3 handmedown pairs I had waiting, one pair is badly pilled, one needs hemming and the smartest pair, which DS1 only wore twice, has a stuck zip. He went to school in the pilled ones, plus a summer jacket 2 sizes too big because I hadn't ordered him a new one yet. So I've ordered him a new one of those, just the one size too big, instead.

And I need to attend to my cutlery drawer. It's been bugging me for the past week, as it's full of crumbs and dust. Off to set the dryer going, wash my lunch things and tip it all out and scrub!

I've bleached the bathroom, my eyes now hurt, but god it looks good.

I've tidied and deep cleaned four beds and hall way. ( even done the woodwork)

Cup of tea.

Off to hoover stairs.

Still to do two reception rooms. Utility, kitchen, hall, porch...never going to do it all before 3.30.

I shall start this tomorrow when they finally go back. Easter holidays, Goo, not half-term

You are all a bit efficient and scary, though [fearty]

I have a dog in the house for the next two weeks. Surely this means there's no point in hoovering??

cleaned the bathroom :)

cleaned GooGirl's room, changed the beds and sorted more washing. She has been peeling off her wallpaper near the window :(

Need to do the stairs and my room. Gah.

There's no such thing as half term now is there, five short terms. I don't care. Every holiday is half term unless it's summer holidays or Christmas.

Tomorrow I'm at work.

Wednesday I will wrap gifts, clean out fish and try to tap my mum up to borrow her steamer thingy (not for fish).

Hello can i join?

First thing i did after droping dcs at school was attack the kitchen (oh the squalor) and then the living room followed by bathroom. I feel so much better the mess by the end of the hols is so stressful!

Would have done more but dc4 seems a bit surprised at the sudden lack of people poking her and fighting over her! Now shes fallen asleep on me after a bf so guess thats the cleaning done for now!

I am going to go round the house taking photos of all the shit DIY jobs that aren't done so I can't forget about them.

I have cleaned everywhere and still can't find the corner of the laptop that snapped off when the cat knocked it off the sofa :(

I'm going to try and attack my bedroom before school.

I can do the stairs when we are back. I am going to let him play nintendo all night :o
