Does anybody want to join me on a cleaning thread? I used to be on one a while ago and it really helped keep me motivated. Just ticking things off a list helped massively and I’ve got loads to do today. I’ll add my list if there’s anyone who wants to join.

Yep count me in. Horrible weather here so seems like a good day to start the Xmas clean.

Yay, I have a cleaning buddy! Okay, so I have dd’s swimming lesson at 11am so I’ll make a start when we get back. I’ll start off with:

Clean kitchen
Tidy all 4 bedrooms
Tidy and dust living room
Hoover throughout downstairs and upstairs
Iron clean school shirts
Put away clean washing
Put more washing on

If I get that done I might add more later.

We're going swimming in the afternoon too.

I have so far done the washing up, wiped over the kitchen worktops. Put a washing load in the machine. Ds is clingy today so it's slow going.

I need to

Make beds
Clean downstairs loo
Clean bathroom
Hoover all rooms
Some more laundry
General tidying up

Hi everyone, sorry I didn’t come back to update yesterday, I got back from dd’s swimming, sat on the sofa and just didn’t get back up again so none of my jobs got done - lazy sod!

Between us, me and dh have made up for it this morning. Today we have:

Tidied, dusted and hoovered all bedrooms, the stairs and landing
Cleaned and mopped both bathrooms
Tidied, dusted, hoovered and mopped the kitchen, living room and hall
Cleaned out the cat litter tray
I’m on my third load of washing of the day, all clean, dry washing is folded and put away
Dh has also cleaned out the play house in the back garden.

All there is left to do is:

Iron work/school uniforms
Do some more washing
Fold and put away more clean washing
Cook a roast
Bath the youngest before bed.

I’m just waiting for dh to finish cooking his burgers and for the smell to disappear then I’ll do the ironing.
