It took a little longer than I thought to get the first five days done. Life (& bushfires) happened.
Day 1 was focusing on the kitchen. This is what I had to contend with….
Hubby was out helping his sister defend their place from a bush fire so I gave Miss K some play dough, some paint with water and chucked on ABC 4 Kids and she was happy to play while I got stuck into the kitchen. I was sooo tempted to pull everything from the cupboards and sort them but I managed to restrain myself lol.
Here’s my task list for the day and here’s my clean kitchen
Day 2 – the master bedroom, or as it’s commonly known in our house – the dumping room.
I struggled with this room. Not so much getting all the clothes put away but all the scrapbook stuff that makes it’s home in our bedroom. I’m still slowly sorting it out and working out what I want to keep here (Project Life, wedding album, Journal Your Christmas) and what will go to the scrap room at Mum & Dad’s. So not 100% clean but much better than it was before.
On to day 3 and we’re in the laundry
Our laundry is usually pretty good so it was just a quick clean and tidy. Gave the washing machine a good clean as well.
Our lounge room frequently looks like a bomb site & day 4 this was my focus
I have to admit, did a little more than was on the list cause I was getting sick of all the mess. Swear our lounge room will never be clean til someone grows up & doesn’t drag all her toys out here.
Finally a nice easy day focusing on the floors & the pantry. No floor photos but here’s the pantry.
I did go a little overboard in the pantry and decided to recover the shelves. OMG remind me never to do that idea again. I’d love to have the money to pull out all the shelves and replace it with something from Howards Storage World or IKEA.
If you’re doing the challenge, how’re you faring? And for the record, here’s my kitchen bench after 5 days (which is actually 15 days total *sigh* – hopefully the next five days will be a bit better)
