Slowly but surely
Jul. 1st, 2010 06:28 pmThis week my attempts at household organisation are moving slowly thanks to being busy and experienceing some winter associated hibernation (sleeping 12-16 hours a day not good for housework... or anything else really)
I have got some stuff done however. I wiped off the dirty fingerprints downstairs on doors, lightswitches and the fridge. I swept and vacuumed the rugs. I de-cathaird the couches. I cleared aand wiped down the tables. I threw out the old lavender oil air fresheners and replaced them with the autumn popurri I've made (dried apple and orange pieces, dried autumn leaves, cloves, cinnamon and pinecones.) So far downstairs has remained pretty clean and tidy.
mc_shamo and I have also worked out a system for cleaning the littler tray that seems fair; every day I scoop out and flush any poo I can see, and then on
Wednesdays he completely changes the litter and puts the old stuff in the outside bin- which is collected the next morning.
This morning I started clearing out the linen press by sorting my yarn stash. This took two and a half hours, and it's not yet finished. I ended up with four bags of yarn that I knew I was never going to use (icky acrylic and feather yarn- that sort of thing) which we dropped at the op-shop this afternoon. We now have more room, but I haven't finished yet! I'll finish off the yarn tomorrow and hopefully get the rest of the cupboard in shape too.
I'm not sure whether to tackle the bathroom or the kitchen next.
