Been a bit slack the last 2 days (i wrote a list yesterday, but thats as far as i got
Today i have :
Put washing load on
Made beds
Cleaned loo and sink (will do bath later)
Exercised BOTH horses (feeling smug) and mucked out
Lunch

This afternoon:
Put horses to bed
Put clean throws on sofa
Hoover living room

This evening:
Cook dinner for me and dd (dh working late)
DD bath and bed
Wash up and clean kitchen (had a friend round last night and didn't wash up )

DD3 is driving me mad today, she has just pulled out all the wet clothes from the laundry basket and thrown them back on the utility room floor . Think when dh goes back after lunch i eill have to do an hr of crisis cleaning .

DD3 is asleep . Going to do my 15 mins of my crisis cleaning. Going to start up stairs in DD1s room. Be back soon

Right have sorted out DD1 and DD2 rooms, cleaned the upstairs bathroom and sorted out dirty clothes into light and darks and put into black bags! Now to clean the hall to give an impression of a clean house .

Must of bored everybody off this thread

cikecaka did you get all your cleaning done? I think i'm very similar to you with the crisis cleaning, muddle along happily enough until i know someone is coming over - then clean the whole house in 2 hrs!

Nothing like abit of crisi cleaning, was thinking that this morn, thought I should pretend I was having a party for dd on Sunday then the house would be immaculate

ALICE dd just rang to say MIL has bought her pippa funnels farmlife or something for dslite, might pack her off on a plane to you yet

Crisis cleaning does sound good. Sometimes things bug me so much that i can't leave them anymore and i blast it, other times i just think nah, can't be bovvered

Hi, got all done, have made them dinner, cleaned over and about to make rice krispie buns .
wish I had this motivation everyday . When I am cleaning, I keep thinking, how easy it would be if I should did a half hour like this every day, and then I just dont bother and it rushed crisis cleaning again
