My kitchen is about the worst, but up to you.

I'm going to tentatively join in but I'm only aiming to do kitchen and living room.

tenalady · 11/07/2006 09:51

ooh you pipped me at the post, I needed a kick up the wotsit to get me started. See ya at 10.10 to report on my kitchen bonanza

neena28 · 11/07/2006 09:52

10:10 You've go no chance!!!

Am now running towards the kitchen!

tenalady · 11/07/2006 10:12

I only managed to get the washing up done and a little clearing of the sides. I was in such a rush to make 10.10 Im not sure the dishes are really clean. Cant do this marathon cleaning lark >>

NomDePlume · 11/07/2006 10:13

I have a list, a long one. It'll take me at least 2 hours to get it all done.

tenalady · 11/07/2006 10:13

right, none of you back then eh? Im back off to the kitchen to set about the floor >

Carmenere · 11/07/2006 10:19

My mum rang so I'm 20 minutes behind!

pecka · 11/07/2006 10:23

aha I can see I am at an unfair disadvantage, no dishwasher you see. Well backs acheing, floor is swept and mopped clean. Cant get in the house through the kitchen now, so I will have a little lurk and then dust and hoover the lounge and conservatory.

neena28 · 11/07/2006 10:40

Have done half the kitchen/living room and folded one lot of washing, put another out on the line and put another 'handwash' in the machine.

Have just discovered that my ds has etched his name into the granite worktop...do you think if I go to the school, explain what he's done, then murder him, they'll mind?

alicemama · 11/07/2006 10:42

I've fallen behind dd2 woke up for a feed.

ok where was I?

ah off to the bathroom

Carmenere · 11/07/2006 10:44

You are definitely entitled to murder ds's if they etch their names into your granite worktops - I'm sure the school will understand
I'm totally crap and have done nothing since I put my name to this thread But I am going to now I promise...

pecka · 11/07/2006 10:46

Ok, have done the bathroom now too

Cleaned mirror and picture.

Cleaned all surfaces

Cleaned bath and toilet

Cleaned floor

Cleaned window

Put towels in the wash and put new ones out

OP posts:
tenalady · 11/07/2006 10:46

back from lurking and off to do the hoovering and dusting. I dont seem to be doing very well judging by everyone elses reports but i will make myself feel better by thinking I maybe a little more thorough and therefore slow >

tenalady · 11/07/2006 10:47

fgs pecka, I think your nose is growing !!!

SSSandy · 11/07/2006 10:47

no not today although it desperately needs doing. So annoyed because my kitchen drains are blocked and after switching on the dishwasher I found water flooding out of the sink and all over the floor. Waiting for the plumber to call back.

tenalady · 11/07/2006 10:47

Whats first on your list Carmenere?

pecka · 11/07/2006 10:48

you probably are more thorough! i just whip round and as long as it looks much better than when i started im happy!

OP posts:
tenalady · 11/07/2006 10:48

blimey, you must be like a whirlwind then.

neena28 · 11/07/2006 10:49

Pecka, could you please sit down and watch this morning for half an hour while the rest of us catch up?!

tenalady · 11/07/2006 10:51
