well I did kids rooms last week a blitz like I've never done before . It has taken a week for them to realise they old toys are missing and that only happened because Daddy told them "see you havent missed those toys have you" well done DH!!

Will take on your challenge and clean and tidy kitchen (I cant find the work surfaces )

going to get on now

I've just whizzed through the house like a dervish and am now off to take the kids swimming and for Sunday lunch.

Nowt like a clean and tidy house to lift spirits.

I've got some lads sorting my gardens out and there's no point in clearing up till it's done.

I was doing so well, cleared one complete worktop (a whole bin bag full of rubbish) then I uncovered a new bottle of wine (thats how bad the work surface was, I couldnt see it under all the clutter ) I opened it to have a little glass to keep me working and drank the bottle
