Cappucino · 10/08/2006 13:24

there - done 15 mins in my zone cleaning my bottom oven

was going to do the top one too but the timer went off

I've gone straight to the detailed cleaning lists cos my kitchen is only 10 ms old so not so cluttered as yet - give it time

going to do 15 minutes of loving sitting on my arse now

dd has spent 15 mins tidying her dolls. Convinced her to join me after showing her a picture of flylady

'a fairy! a fairy! I want to be a fairy!' [devious emoticon]

tortoise · 10/08/2006 13:26

Cleaning an oven! How do you clean an oven? LOL!Ive never cleaned mine.
Well done to your dd.
Im trying to teach mine to put things in the dishwasher not in the sink/on work top!

Quootiepie · 10/08/2006 13:27

OP posts:
tortoise · 10/08/2006 13:30

Q there must be a little job you can do for just 15mins to make you feel better.
Normally i would of spent a whole day working my butt of cleaning one room.This way is much better.I get to appreciate it more.

Quootiepie · 10/08/2006 13:34

DS is feeding ATM... not even dressed yet! DH went out without giving me chance to shower yet. yuk. I need a kick up the arse

OP posts:
tortoise · 10/08/2006 13:39

Huge kick coming your way!!

Tyme · 10/08/2006 14:04

Aargh! Oven!
That definitely needs to be cleaned but I honestly think I need a whole day to do that. I haven't cleaned mine in (whispers) 2 years
I bought some oven pride about 4 months ago and its still unopened.
On a brighter note, I've cooked and baked today and am now sitting down in a tidy lounge to a cup of tea with some home made cake (only a small piece as am dieting) and thoroughly enjoying the fruits of my labours.

coggy · 10/08/2006 14:17

C'mon Quootie - you can do it!!!

Cappucino - sneaky...I like it!!!!

Tortoise - earthquake...surely not?? Well it was The War of the Worlds you were listening too!!!

Oven hob cleaned (well wiped with a flash wipe thing!!)

tortoise · 10/08/2006 14:18

Right im off to play footie with the dc in the garden!

coggy · 10/08/2006 14:21

Loving yourself and ds - good stuff you!!!!!

coggy · 10/08/2006 14:21

ooops.....dc I meant!!

trinityrhino · 10/08/2006 14:21

i need a kick in the right direction, my sink isn't shiny today and I have laundry to do

coggy · 10/08/2006 14:24

Come now...trinity...no slacking!!

I went to have a look on Amazon for FLYlady books.....a permanant reminder if I place it in a HOTSPOT!!!

There are hundreds of fly books!!!!!
Sadly they're all about that old woman who swallowed the fly!!!!!!
Not quite what I was after!!!!!!

tortoise · 10/08/2006 14:25

tortoise · 10/08/2006 14:26
