Cleaning thread anyone?

[afreshstartplease]

Used to do one of these each week but I have become a lazy lazy slob it would seem!

Anyone care to join me with lists and motivation?

Good morning. How is everyone this morning? I'm bloody freezing so am currently on the sofa in my dressing gone and snuggled under a blanket with the baby. I'm not moving until the house has warmed up a bit!

Today's jobs are:

• strip beds
• remake beds
• feed cats done
• laundry washer on
• wash dishes and wipe over kitchen
• sweep and mop floors
• dust living room
• fold and put away clean washing
• pick up polystyrene that has blown out of the bin overnight and is all over the back garden
• get milk and passata from the shop
• Hoover (still...)
• clean downstairs bathroom
• clean upstairs bathroom
• clean patio door window as it's full of little handprints

Can I join

-wash uniforms
-iron shirts
-sort all clean laundry
-clean hall ready for painting
-sort toys and books to de-clutter bedrooms
-clean kitchen
-change beds
-wash bedding

Anybody have any suggestions how to clean a multi-coloured rug ( wine, cream and beige). The professional carpet cleaners would not do it in case the colours ran.

Morning.

I have forgotten what hard work it is having DCs at home
I now deep clean my house once a month(or even 6 weeks) -it takes most of a day but I diary it in and just do kichen surfaces,sweep floor loos and basins in between. And maybe the odd extra job,like de cluttering .Am intrigued how many of you mention dusting! I dust when expecting guests and not always then .
max 4 loads of washing a week -towels,sheets and 2 of clothes (it's a big drum)
This weekend's jobs
-catch up with washing as its a blowy day and it will go on the line First load is in
-Sweep up fallen leaves as we have only one more Green Bin collectionDD1 is home and has promised to help as she needs the exercise .It will take a few hours as there is an enormous beech tree next door
-Look through family pics with DD as she wants copies for a collage she is doing .I count as 'housework as we'll probably do a bit of weeding out at the same time
-make complicated fish stew tomorrow as DD doesn't eat meat
Am still snuggled up in bed about to read my Book Club book for an hour or so -on my ToDo list so I suppose it's a job

I've stripped all beds (apart from Ds' as he's still in there, the lazy bugger). I've remade the baby's cot, put the first load of washing in the dryer and another load in the machine. I'm now waiting for the baby to go to bed then I can make a start on the cleaning, she's being a little clingon this morning so I can't get much done yet...

My sister has also just rang and asked if I'll dye her hair for her today so that's another job to add to the list.

Morning all

So far I have -

Hoovered the porch
Sorted the shoe basket
Made my bed
Done two lots of washing and drying

Inhaled the contents of my hoover

Yay, baby now in bed so I am now showered and dressed and jobs wise:

• strip beds done, Ds finally got up
• remake beds 3 done, 2 to go
• feed cats done
• laundry 2nd load on
• wash dishes and wipe over kitchen
• sweep and mop floors
• dust living room half done, broke off to put baby in bed, will finish now

• get milk and passata from the shop
• Hoover (still...)

I'm off to finish the dusting and put baby's toys away in the living room then I'll make a start on the kitchen.

Hi, I've now done all beds, been to the shop, made tea and cleared up after, bathed the baby and put another load of washing away. I'm just about to put another load of washing in the dryer and another load in the washer then I'm done for the day. I still haven't managed the hoovering, the floors upstairs are minging now. I shall hoover tomorrow whilst dh is in bed hungover .

I haven't eaten yet, I didn't fancy what I made so I'm considering buying a huge takeaway to myself once dh is out and the kids are in bed. It's no wonder I never lose weight is it?!

I'm all done! Just washing hanging about drying everywhere, hate it. Can't wait to get a tumble dryer when we buy a house next year.

Go for it Kim
