Ok I need to do a blitz, anyone in?

[thesockmonsterofdoom]

10minute stints.
First job hoover and dust upstairs.

[jollydo]

Anyone here today? I'm only here this morning, but about to fold clothes and put wash on....
managed to get more done yesterday thanks to this thread!

[purpleflower]

That's quite a good idea

[thesockmonsterofdoom]

purple, that is what i would do. maybe you could get her to clean for you

[purpleflower]

I give up, will start again tomorrow. DS woke up just as I started putting his toys away to hoover.

I will get this place sorted asap I'm booked in for a homebirth and don't want to spend the start of labour cleaning because I'm too embarassed to let the midwife in.

[thesockmonsterofdoom]

I need to get the washing in as it look slike rain, that'll make a noce change.
Shesells pmsl.

[purpleflower]

The dishwasher is on, so is the washing machine and the clothes are inthetumbler on the line.

I'm going to wash up the couple of bits that don't go into the dishwasher and pick up the toys.

I haven't even thought about dinner yet and DS is still in bed I really should've started properly earlier. Although the beds were stripped first thing and I am now very nearly at the bottom of my washing basket

[SheSellsSeashellsByTheSeashore]

ah! no im winning now! phew! having ten mins before next tank of water. whatever it was that was stuck to the carpet is off! just a general run around to get normal grub off now.

of course before i had children they were never going to make a mess of my things. people who blamed dirty carpets on their children were lazy and hadnt bothered cleaning them in years. oh and their children were ill mannered. mine were going to have proper table manners .

im not sure if i thought they would be born with these manners or if they would just magically listen when i said "no darling dont throw your spaghetti on the floor thats rude, now be a good girl and use your knife and fork"

[thesockmonsterofdoom]

right dinner is on, I may now do tommorows pack ups and clean the kitchen, I am rather enjoying this. also will need to get washing in, clean chicken poo out of the garden and i think that may be me done for the day. pjhew.

Give up on the carpet, buy a new one when dc's are 10.

[shinyshoes]

Right i'm done for the day.

This tread and this cleaning lark was suprisingly fun.

It might give me the incentive to tackle the large jobs in the house if I do it in 10 minute stints rather than sit there and put it off til 'tomorrow' or 'when i'm in the mood.

I am planning on getting rid of all the crap in the cupboard under the stairs tomorrow as I would find it easier to cope with doing it in 10 minute stints.

Right ladies, will hopefully see you all tomorrow, when the fun will begin all over again

[purpleflower]

I'm going to join if I'm not too late. I've been putting it off and sat on my arse for the last couple of hours.

I'm going to empty and fill the dishwasher and fold some clothes.

[SheSellsSeashellsByTheSeashore]

and that should be vaxing! bloody x key not working properly! probably has bits of spaghetti under it or something

[SheSellsSeashellsByTheSeashore]

i am still vaing the carpet and judging by how bad it still looks will be still vaing the carpet this time tommorrow. i would appeciate it if some one would please remind to buy a mess mat!

whose idea was it to blw babies anyway? silly idea imo and v bad for your carpets

[jollydo]

Am a bit dstracted now as ds2 on the rampage but will TRY to hoover lounge and wipe windowsills in conservatory in the next half hour!

[shinyshoes]

well I'm nearly done.

Will browse active convos for 5 mins then get on with the last job of the day dusting the cabinet that houses all the consoles and sky box etc, and clean the glass dining table.

[thesockmonsterofdoom]

think it is down to me and you now, going to do the kitchen and get tea started.

[shinyshoes]

right i'm off to dust all the wood daydo? and clean the large mirror in the front room

cya in 10

(btw am I the only one doing this now )

[thesockmonsterofdoom]

wish I was, I have 3 hours to myself tommorow and it would be great if i didn't have any housework to do. not very likely though.

[sweetgrapes]

still haven't even got thru half of the crap in my room. But still working on it...

[shinyshoes]

Done

Slowly running out of things to do.

Will browse active convos for 10 mins until my next stint

[thesockmonsterofdoom]

lounge hoovered. I thin k I may need anothre cuppa soon.

[shinyshoes]

Right i'm off to put another load of washing away.

Back in ten ladies

[thesockmonsterofdoom]

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.

[shinyshoes]

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]

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.

[SheSellsSeashellsByTheSeashore]
