Had a day off today fairly productive day but don’t want to get ahead of myself
I managed to get my mothers oven professionally cleaned very happy great job, met with handyman also gave him a list of jobs for my mothers house he is starting Monday, i am working through using up bits in the freezer so I can clean that
Tackled a large press in the kitchen gave it a clean and dumped some old pans and general kitchen junk that was just gathering dust
It’s mad the things we keep my OH was like ah don’t throw them out I said they haven’t been used in 3 years since we moved in
We might need them he says LOL0 -

Omg I need to get my but into gear ! Have the windows to wash , kids clothes to organise and de clutter and freezer to defrost and I did none of them today! Fair play .. I actually hate cleaning the presses for some reason esp the doors :pac:
It usually take me few days to do the presses but it only took me less than a day:D think it is because I did it few months ago before I started working!
so it was quite satisfying. I hope to sort our clothes and do decluttering, there are only two of us but he is so indecisive so I think kids may be easier ha! 0 -

Lol had to laugh at the part about indecisive ... buy vacuum bags ... best thing I ever did. I don't think I throw out any of my clothes ever hahaha. I feel his pain lol. But when I'm doing Mr glitz wardrobe I'm like a heartless assassin just bin loads ..
oh clever thinking. I should have started mine earlier ! 0 -

I got vacuum bags before but it bust :eek:besides I'm not sure if we have much room left in our attic with all Christmas decor especially if I'm hoping to get some more this year Yeah I think I will try to do presses 2 or 3 times a year so I have time for more funny tasks like baking or wrapping presents! 0 -

Hahaha yea I've burst a few too. The sheer panic it causes when your trying to hide clothes :pac: it's a good habit to be in I may try it myself! Oh stop ... baking .. every year it's the one thing I say I want to try and never get around to. Going to have to try it this year !0 -

It was my first time making it- I'm quite proud of it even though it was pretty simple! I got a recipe from local cafe last year.
1kg of mixed fruit, zest and juice from 2 oranges and 1 lemon, 2 chopped apples, 100g of brown sugar, 1tbsp of black treacle, 150g of melted margarine or any dairy free spread and a swig of brandy.
I mixed all togerher in a bowl and left it on the counter with cover until the following night and put it in jars. I did this 3 times over 3 night0 -

What does the Christmas clean entail? I can think of nothing that I could do that wouldn't need to be done between now and Christmas again!
I'm nearly sure I popped a post up here earlier about the big christmas clean.
It's essentially a big deep clean but add in defrosting the freezer , cleaning inside and out presses , washing all curtains or wooden blinds , dogs or pets booked in for deep groom / worming if needed , do a clear out of all clothes wardrobes , Polish all silverware for christmas , paint skirting boards and doors ( if white and you have kids / pets ) .
I have a folder where I break the jobs down week by week to be done from November to December I may have slight ocd 0 -
