This is me hard at work

I took a cup out of the dishwasher and thought ew, that's not very clean. Then I realized I hadn't actually done a load yet and disaster, I'm out of clean cups.

Out of clean everything. House, clothes, cutlery, crockery - the last week or two has been absolutely manic and my house, never naturally tidy, would be condemned if anyone from Health & Safety walked in sigh

So the obvious first start to tidy / spring clean is to write a blog. Maybe you have some handy short-cuts I should know about, like how to attach a hair-dryer to a duster and make it 20 times as efficient. Or how to strap the vacuum cleaner to the dog and put her to work. 90% of the vacuuming is her shedding anyway very mad

Cranking up the music so I can dance as I dust. I will be back with frequent cups of coffee to restore my energies. Oh bugger I need to buy milk.

I knew a guy who kept his dishes (actually dish) in the freezer.
He figured that way he wouldn't have to wash it.

There. You can cross one chore off your list. grin

Hi Biff,
sorry to tell you, there are no short cuts...
Music is very helpful hug
I have a full time cleaner, makes life so much easier, I have milk too.dancing
A friend has a Clutter Consultant! shock

liar pointing scold
She comes by every week or two to advise him how to organize his stuff.
Pretty good money...$60/hr. wow
Yes. Really.
liar pointing scold

grin

For anyone interested (or who thinks I'm making this up)...

Mick - freezer is the next thing on the list. Surprising how quickly even frozen food can go out of date sigh but once there's room, I'll look into your possibly frivolous suggestion.

Your other suggestion is brilliant. Tell people how to clean? I could do that! yay
Seri - music is the only way. I stopped sweeping during Total Eclipse Of The Heart, too many key changes. Michael Jackson should be coming up, watch the dust fly during Smooth Criminal!! rolling on the floor laughing

I say 'should be' - I accidentally deleted all my playlists, arrgh, so at the moment am relying on Youtube's idea of my taste. It can be a bit - erratic. laugh
Map - your comment is only helpful if you are offering to send your cleaner, and milk, to my house scold
Z, I do tell myself that I'm earning £8 an hour by doing it myself. And my employers does allow frequent coffee breaks, and is lenient about spots missed. help

Maybe time for a CS exchange plan. Contact your local CS person and do each other's cleaning, for decent pay. Bonus, you can then come on CS and make rude comments about the way the other lives. thumbs up
Try African drums Biff, very uplifting ! And defenitly one or two boxes of chocolate
Seri, shut it, darling, I'm supposed to be squeezing into a swimsuit next weekend.

No chocolate. Healthy diet and lots of exercise, should be no problems shedding a 6 month winter of comfort eating in a week, right?

Biff.....amazing how the thought of lyeing on a hot beach...can motivate a diet....
3 weeks for me....so i'm really trying....(mallorca was a full english plus coissants every morning....plus extra portions of icecream in the evenings...frustrated
I am with Seri on this one. Try the African drums... or shamanic ones? They work wonders and put you in a trance. banana
D, I LIVE in a trance. That's how the house gets so grubby. I spend most of my time on a higher astral plane, but every now and then the mundane has to intrude. Like realizing the dog-sitter is going to otherwise be looking round in horror, and taking the dog and cat into care. help
I was going to volunteer till I seen the no milk for coffee. rolling on the floor laughing
Cal, where are you off to in 3 weeks, what have I missed? wow

As for focusing the mind I am eating a spanish omelette (breakfast and the other half for lunch). NOT slimming but as I cleaned the fridge I noticed it was about to expire. dunno

I shall have to rely on my luvverly personality, smiling a lot, and moving so fast I'm a blur. Er - Molly - a word, if you would?
Wen, did I say no milk? There's TONS of milk! Tons! rolling on the floor laughing

First offer of help, too. Blimey you lot don't take a hint do you? teddybear
Yep.. I know the feeling.. happy place This is where I am most of the time too.

But I had to come back on this plane as my house needed painting - or maybe it was an illusion and where I am is real? dunno hmmm
Wish we could edit comments sigh D I meant soothe. Not turning into a soothsayer.
Biff, do what I do and go outdoors when the place is messy.
What I can't see won't worry me grin

I've been very industrious this morning though.

I had a load of washing and fed the dog before 8.30 this morning.

Then out to the garden, and I've put the first coat of paint on the fence.

Taking a break before the second coat, and then onto the first coat on the wall...phew!

And in between, taking time to make coffee for my friend's hungover husband who stayed last night as he had a work night out in town.

That's how you do a blur grin
Biff

Can't help you with the cleaning, but I'm sure you can edit your comments under My Blog Admin grin

Music, music, music... cool
The down side to all this cleaning is that I have gone as far as sugar soap can take me on the walls. Repainting is required. I give up.

I need a house-painter who will paint for love, is not allergic to cats, lives fairly nearby, has own brushes and ladders, gets on well with hostile dogs or doesn't mind the occasional friendly nip (delete one) and preferably no unnatural vices. Ta.

The blocks on my mailbox will be dropped for the next half hour for your application.

Half an hour should be enough, right? batting

rolling on the floor laughing


Tell yer wot, missus, get rid of the cat and ar'll see wot ar can do.
Do luvverly work, get yer paintwork up to speed no problem. Verra quick worker.

Will work for coffee, none of that other stuff necessary. grin
Back away from the coffee.

Other stuff or nowt grin
Oh ho, haggling is it?

You drive a hard bargain. sigh

I'll check my diary. I should be in the area in a week or so.
Tip - keep away from Cat's blog. He's a little anti-santa at the mo
My heart 'bleeds' for your current situation...moping

But thats about it, I hate shopping too..applause laugh bouquet
Yup, shopping is pretty high on my list of no thanks too, Boet. That cancels any chance of us ever making a go of things. sigh
