A more restful day

I have decided to have a bit more of a relaxing day. I have still been doing some jobs but I just have not taken on a big job, that will happen tomorrow when I tackle the kitchen again (I just do not seem to be able to keep that room tidy)

I did however manage to look through the shed and get rid of a couple of black bags of stuff. The buckets will get emptied tomorrow so I thought it was the best chance for me to do it. I was really pleased that I did that. There was nothing that I needed but I am tired of having clutter.

I have got some records that I need to get rid of. I might try and sell them first on E-Bay first before taking them to a shop. I will see about selling them for £1.

Another thing I did was clear out the cupboard in the bathroom. I can now fit all of the toilettes in there. The top was black with dust, but it looks so much nicer now. When my partner ran the bath later he could not find the bath stuff as he was not expecting it to be in the cupboard.

I was watching How clean is your house in the evening while I was cleaning the living room (I have to wait until the wee ones have gone to bed before I do so.

I have managed to get some useful tips from it:

Cleaning the washing machine

Put a cupful of white vinegar in the drum and then put the machine through a normal cycle to get it nice and sparkling.

Freshening the fridge

Get 1/2 a lemon and scoop out the fruit. Then fill the empty half with salt and put that in the fridge.

Freshening the room

Turn the light off at the wall before handling the light

Get some essential oil (one drop onto a cloth) and wipe onto the light bulb. You will get a nice smell every time you turn on the light.
