I don't know about you but I spend so much time over the summer outside and with the garden, visitors etc the house seems to get in a state by the end of summer and I'd really like to get some sorting done pre me going away and in the lead up to being somewhat housebound in the winter and Christmas decorating (I go away a month today then get back a month before Christmas so I need to have everything ready before I go as much as possible)! I have started but I thought it would be fun if a few of us wanted to do a challenge to get on top of some of those jobs. We could start with a list (ideas welcome even if you don't want to play!) that will become the master list and you just copy it onto your reply then edit with DONE next to each task as you complete it.
@Louise I know you are always really organised with your house before you put your Christmas decorations up - would love some ideas!
I'm going to try to do some or all of one thing each day
- Clean oven
- Clean microwave (fill a bowl 1/2 with water, add juice of lemon and microwave on high for 2-3 minutes - then just wipe it out - you'll be amazed how easy it is if you have never done it this way before - the steam just lifts everything off)
- Make a meal plan
- Deep clean floors
- Declutter living areas
- Autumn garden clean up (pull up summer plants / prune / sort paths /terraces and weeds)
- Clean the windows
- Any DIY / decorating that needs doing
- Sweep chimney (well remind DH to do it!)
- Run a cleaning cycle in the washing machine
- Run a clean cycle on the dishwasher / clean filter / clean out gunk in the spinny things holes
Who's in ???????
