Good on you. I have stripped the beds and put bedding in the washing machine to be fair to me lol

ShelaghTurner · 02/08/2015 10:49

I'm in my in laws' holiday flat and we're leaving today. For the first and probably last time in my life ever, we've got a couple of cleaners coming in about an hour to clean while we go out to lunch.

Yes I'm showing off but the novelty factor is high. And it'll never happen again! Tonight I'm back in my own filthy pigsty and will spend the rest of the summer cleaning and de-cluttering. Sad

Landing hoovered

Hi, hope you don't mind me jumping in!

DP is in the kitchen doing a deep clean, I have to do:
~ bathroom & en suite deep clean
~ hoover hall, stairs (3 storey bloody house!), living room and playroom
~ fold all laundry and take to our rooms
~ polish TV (toddler fingermarks!)

BeautifulBatman · 02/08/2015 12:02

So far -
Folded laundry and put away/put in ironing basket.
Vacuumed bedroom and upstairs floors.
Vacuumed downstairs including sofa.
Cleaned down kitchen units - included some torn teabags and a split bag of sugar that one of my fucking cats decided to play with...
Made a steak and kidney pudding - currently steaming away on the stove top.
Waiting for maintenance to show up and fix my ac unit, turn off to the shop to get a few bits and bobs.

I must must must get sorted by lunchtime tomorrow because the lady from the shelter is coming to do our home visit for the kittens who are due to join us in September. It doesn't need to be perfect but at the moment she'd scarcely make it through the front door Blush
