Ok - I cleaned kitchen/hall floor just before. Now will tidy up toys in lounge (MN is far more tempting...)

shinyshoes · 08/09/2008 14:24

I'm in, I will put the washing away now DD has FINALLY gone to sleep.

Meet back here in ten

i have been doing ten minutes blitz's all day but have come to the conclusion its going to take more than that!

my carpet looks like its growing things. ick!

main job(s) for today; vax carpet, wash up, sort out ironing, clean yard.

if i have time; tidy our bedroom.

SheSellsSeashellsByTheSeashore · 08/09/2008 14:27

with? with what? running backwards and fowards with dd all week

shinyshoes · 08/09/2008 14:33

8 mins and done.

This is cool, I've seen these threads before, I've never taken part.

I prefer these 10 min blitz's , they are much easier to cope with

Majeika · 08/09/2008 14:34

I have blitzed the boys's room and have 2 bin liners to hide in the recycle bin! they will never know! and a big box of stuff for the PTA at school to hide in the car!

I have hoovered, cleaned the kitchen floor, done 2 lots of washing and wiped down the surfaces in the kitchen

DS1 has swimming at 4pm, part done dinner and watched Doctors!

what a productive day!!

hotcrossbunny · 08/09/2008 14:39

Ooh yes please! Although, have you all finished just as I'm starting, or does it just keep on running???

Oh well, I'm off to wash the floors downstairs, however it works

thesockmonsterofdoom · 08/09/2008 14:40

Ok that took a bit longer than ten minutes, but upstairs and attic hoovered and my room tidied. next jobs are dust upstairs and put away clean clothes, will make a cuppa now and it should be about good to drink when I have done that. I don't know why but I find it a lot easier to do housework this way, kind of like a race.

I agree sockmonster, I feel it's like a race too.

Off to spend my next ten mins ironing 4 pairs of school trousers.

Ds2 will be waking up any time now and then my tidying may be slowed considerably, but until then... tidy conservatory and sweep floor.

SheSellsSeashellsByTheSeashore · 08/09/2008 15:14

thesockmonsterofdoom · 08/09/2008 15:35

Ok I am back, hung the washing out ansd dusted downstairs, now I need to hoover through downstairs and tidy up the lounge. I love it when i manage to do the whole house and it is all gleamy for about 1/2 hour before it gets trashed again.

shinyshoes · 08/09/2008 15:43

Right I'm back from an eventful pick up from school

Am ready to start again just as soon as i've had this cuppa

thesockmonsterofdoom · 08/09/2008 15:53

right hoovered dining room and stairs, now only the lounge to do, just need to find it under all the toys.
Oh and I could do with doing the bathroom and kitchen although I will do the kitchen while I cook dinner and maybe do the bathroom while dc in bath. multitasking.
