Kelly's mission

Yes, it's decluttering the bathroom again. Seems like i've only just done this, and I'm pretty sure I haven't acquired any new clutter, so it means decluttering the spare bedroom for me....eek!

I do use a carpet cleaner, its a Bissell QuickWash - £67 on ebay brand new - its £99.99 in Argos!

I have done 3 shelves.They are covered in china tortoises so takes a while to clean each one then the shelf and re-arrange the tortoises back onto the shelf!
Stop for lunch then will do fire place(gas fire,never used,gathers lots of dust!) And then tv etc.

JARM you are doing great.
I assume if they didn't repeat missions each week then it wouldnt help new flyers.

hey girls!!
good to see some more motivation back in all of you!!!
jarm how did you get dh to take both girls for so long?!!??!?!

hn glad you are up and about

at turtle and luda with their private competition


actually!!!!!
i did 50% of my burninghotspot pc desk
not finished just yet but still ... a beginning!
also w/m has finished and needs to dry.
kitchen is still clean (d/w loaded) - it's surprising what all that decluttering does to keep a routine. now i try to do certain things each day (by the end of the day) and it's so much easier to stay on top!!!!

just been to softplay with the monsters. dd and dp are in bed, ds is watching tv with big yawns
and i'll get a cuppa and some chocolate and watch some tv too me finks

see you all in a bit

I do most of the home blessing stuff at the weekend. I even polished the mirrors.

Bathroom missions are always a bit rubbish imo. They are all basically the same two jobs _ declutter, and clean - and get done on the first day. We never get "other room" missions.
My other room is kids room, so I'm going to do 15 mins up there in the hope I can find some missing library books.

I have attempted to cook pasties though (and forgot to season em so they will taste of nothing!

Bah, I'll do more flying in a bit (or probably just "do flying" would be more accurate )
