Spring Clean Assault

Pic credit

Ok...I have been reading Tracy's 15 minute thread over at Crafty Mamas and looked at Fly Lady and I am motivated to get moving on m house and declutter and spring clean. I am also motivated by the fact that Jack has lost an expensive pair of glasses and I need to find them or I will have to buy another pair!

So for the next fortnight I am planning to declutter and clean. I am amazed at what has accumulated. I managed to do a couple of 15 minute stints this morning in clutter hotspots and I threw out three bags already

I have set up a table of the things I need to do by standing in each room or area and surveying it...and in some places it aint pretty. The saving grace in the kids rooms is I did them recently so I dont need to go too feral in there.

Tomorrow I am starting with the Lounge.

Tasks in there include:

* cleaning behind the entertainment unit
* cleaning under the sofas
* polishing wood
* dusting hanging pics
* getting rid of and rehoming items of barely standing hat stand

All rooms will have their windows and flyscreens cleaned and once all is finished I will have carpets professionally cleaned. This will also help with the fact that last summer we had fleas and whilst I now treat all the animals I will need to make sure the cleaning and vacumming of the carpets is up to scratch.

Next is the Kitchen.

Tasks in here include:

* clean the oven
* clean out the fridge
* clean the microwave
* decrumb the toaster
* tidy up the pots and pans cupboard, the plastics cupboard, the plates cupboard, the cups cupboard including wiping sown the inside and outside.
* tidy the cutlery draws
* rehang aprons properly.

I have already decluttered the pantry and the top of the fridge and cupboards today and thats been a good start.

So thats what I am going to start with. Im sharing it with you all because it makes me accountable I guess!

And I thought someone else might want to join the journey..so please if you feel the need after reading this join in and let me know how you go.

I am dedicated to only sewing a custom job I must complete this week and once I am done i shall reward myself with a whole day of sewing fun stuff :) I also have little rewards planned for along the way - but the biggest reward will be a decluttered and spring cleaned house :)

Wish me luck!
