ok.....I need to do something drastic! Please help!

Well, I have 2 DC's and a DSS, a messy DH and two jobs. So I just do the basics most of the time, ie washing, ironing, vaccuuming, loading dishwasher etc.

Now, my house needs a good clean and I need help to get motivated - I am crap at cleaning by the way!

What I need to desperately do is:

1. Clean skirting boards and doors - what do you do yours with?

1. Clean inbetween bathroom tiles.

1. Dust everything!

1. Wipe down kitchen cupboards and bedroom furniture and dining table with soapy wood cleaner!

1. Clean insides of all windows and clean all mirrors.

1. Couple of loads of washing.

1. Small(ish) pile of ironing.

Have also got to pick two children up at different time, take one to an after school activity and then the other to a different after school activity. Oh, and I'm working til 12.

Hmmm...think I get can get it all done this afternoon?

Any top tips would be a great help.

Clean skirtings and doors with a bucket of hot water with some dettol and some Cif or other multipurpose cleaner. Change the water if it gets dirty.

If you are really in a hurry get a big box or basket and don't stop to put things away just put everything in the basket as you go - just concentrate on the cleaning. You can then put the stuff away later once the house is lovely and clean!

Good luck!

Thanks Swedes, it's pretty tidy on the surface, just needs a good clean!
