Anybody want to join me in some crisis cleaning today?

[chloemegjess]

Last thing I want to be doing on xmas eve, BUT just realised that although we will be at other peoples houses for xmas etc, we are constantly visiting family until the 29th, which is my DDs birthday and we are having guests over!

So, anyway, I am going to try and do some flylady style crisis cleaning - don't get on with the rest of the flylady stuff but this sounds like it might work!

Only have a couple of hours though as I have to go into town to meet DH on his break to get last min xmas stuff.

DD tagging along, although hoping to get bits started now - waashing on etc, easy bits and then do the proper crisis cleaning when she goes for a nap, and then go out when she wakes up.

Also waiting for a delivery before 12pm.

AND still have a few bits of wrapping to do!
ARGH!

Oh and meant to say, if anybody has done any CC before and want to give me some tips - you would be more than welcome!

CC - stay strong and repeat in your head it's for the best, it's for the best.

I'm supposed to be decluttering and cleaning BUT my head really hurts so I'm going to take some decongestiant stuff and ibprobrufen and hopefully in half an hour I will be ok enough to get on with it!

Well I haven't done anything so far!! Other than put a wash on, and fill the sink for washing up. BUT dd is not making it easy in the slightest. But she should sleep for at least an hour, so that should give me enough time to at least make the house look better. Hoping it won't take toooo long in town but dreading it as its going to be packed!! Then even if I only get
1-2 hours now, and then 1-2 hours later, it should at least help. It is not THAT bad, but don't want to be doing it on my dds birthday !

Mine is quite bad (usually quite spotless and every night just a case of wiping down and hoovering) but I've been ill for ages and it's built up so theres clutter everywhere so not just cleaning but also tidying that needs doing and I won't relax and enjoy my time off unless it's sorted!

Right heres my list to do.......
Declutter (all window sills, work tops, round the pc desk, on top of tumble dryer, sideboard)
Sort under the stairs
Find out what the strange smell upstairs is (smells like food thats been forgotten about but no idea where its coming from!)
Empty bins
Mop the floors
Hoover everywhere
Tidy my room
Sort dd2's room
Once over in bathrooms

Thats about it I think.

Also need to dry and put away washing
Find and iron clothes for all of us to wear tomorrow!

Im up for that, shall we do it in fifteen minute blocks?

Im going to go and do fifteen minutes in the kitchen

Have looked at my cooker top this morning and realised I can't possibly cook on it tomorrow But I haven't any cleaning stuff and can't go out so good old elbow grease it is.

I also have to
Hoover whole house
Wash kitchen floor
wipe over sinks and bath
Try to get rid of the awful smell in dd1's room (her radiator leaked badly and the chemicled water inside it stinks)
Disninfect the dogs bit in the garden
Take rubbish to dump as bin is full and no collections for 2 weeks!!!!

Ok I'm off for 15 minutes

I have the whole house to do, my definition of not THAT bad is that you can move and it is not unhyginic! Yours doesn't sound worse than mine at all! Lol.

DD in bed...off for 15 mins in the kitchen!

I'm supposed to be cleaning but I'm on MN instead. Ooops.

I've got to tidy and hoover whole house. Put stacks of clothes away. Tidy DC's bedrooms. Clean kitchen. Clean bathrooms. Walk dog. Wash floors downstairs. Heaps of cooking to do.

I suppose I'd better get cracking. Bye!

Done 15 mins in kitchen - although more like 20 like magnolia.

Managed to do:

Now for my 15 mins in the dining room/playroom/junkroom!!

Mine was more like 30 and I

(am very excited about tumble dryer and dishwasher coming after xmas!)
Has anyone actually achieved anything or just going off to make cups of tea?

I have in the last 15 mins cleaned out the fireplace for Santa Claus, hoovered the living room and dumped any out of date/yucky stuff from fridge. Am off for another 15 mins...

Done 20 mins in back room and did:

General tidy up
Clear dining room table
Clean table and folded away
Fold dining chairs up and put away.

NOW off to do 15 mins in the living room/hallway!

cleared more wrapping rubbish and put everything out of the kitchen that belongs elsewhere

Off for another 15

Ok done the bathroom and downstairs toilet.... off to febreeze dd1's carpet and try to get rid of the smell

Off to go and have something to eat quickly as I still haven't had any breakfast and baby is kicking to tell me to eat! lol. Really hoping DD doesn't wake up for a while!

okay now I have hung up the washing and put more on, I have empried the bins and took the rubbish out and I have found my digital camera which I hadn't seen in a while!

To do :

Evertything

Done :

Nothing

Made the mistake of 'just sitting down at computer for a min...'

I am going to go and clean the bathroom and make a start on the boys' bedroom for another 15 mins
