ThePerfect1IThinkNot · 21/02/2015 13:14

Having a spring cleaning day as part of getting ready to move. I am blitzing the kitchen cupboards. How did that best before 2009 manage to survive our last major sort out? Feeling virtuous now that I can actually see everything in the right place in half of our kitchen cupboards. Back to work now...

dibdobs · 21/02/2015 13:28

So far i have wiped down kitchen tops and hob
One load of washing and one drying
Polished lounge and dining room
Cleaned downstairs loo
Cleaned bathroom and floor
Got ds1 to hoover hall and lounge no point doing dining room yet as they have bagels for lunch and will get it all over carpet (which is why someone is quoting for laminate in there later!)
