Post by linell »

Just wondered if you had all started your spring cleaning yet :?: Annie are you in your deckchair or do you have your rubber gloves on :lol: I just pulled out my washing machine and tumble drier, was :o when I saw the amount of dust there was underneath. Have got the bug now the weather is nice, must do all the cupboards next, happy days from Linell.

Yes Lin, the nice weather does make a difference.

1st on my list - the bathroom needs sprucing up, so far I've painted the ceiling and hope to do more at the weekend :grin:

A person should have an opinion on everything, It becomes tact whether you reveal that opinion or not.

I was running out of room in my bookcase so I went through all my old tax files and threw out anything over 5 years old. Does that count as spring cleaning? I love chucking things out, its my favourite thing :grin:

Dont worry all my genealogy stuff was kept safe, no accidental destruction.

I've been painting too! supposed to be having tiles laid next week but will believe that when it happens.

My Pilates teacher is venturing out into selling eco-friendly cleaning products and I'm waiting until the ship arrives with more. I bought some last year and loved then (though they are very very expensive here). They come in pretty colours and natural smells so that I actually wanted to clean house - and I hate cleaning! So, if you want to kickstart your springclean, try looking for Method cleaning products. The pink grapefruit spray smells yummy.
