New Year Cleaning

After the aftermath of Christmas and the New Year and a week of rest I have decided to give the entire house a good clean.  I am going to take each room and try and gut it as much as possible and throw out all the rubbish, mop or vacum floors, clean walls and surfaces and put everything back nice and neat.

The first room I am going to start with is the kitchen as this seems like it will be the most work.  I will also have to do the room under the stairs which is in the kitchen as well and I am not looking forward to that at all.
The next rooms will be the living room, the hallway and downstairs toilet, Our bedroom and en suite, the family bathroom, then Faiths room and Graces room.  So I'm hoping this will take a week, it may take longer depending on how much the girls try and interfere. 

I also need to get all the washing done as I only have one washing machine and radiators to dry it.  I am going to be saving up money for a tumble dryer at the end of the year so it will be a lot easier.

I hope everybody is enjoying the new year so far and good luck if you are doing a big clean like me.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year to one and all.  I was actually asleep at midnight, so I didn't see the New Year in till about 1am when my fiance got back from work.

I have had a nice relaxing day with the family though eating a nice roast dinner, then taking our little dog Angel for a walk.  We have been snuggled on the couch and watching movies as well and also been jumping around in front of the TV with the Xbox kinect.

I have promised myself this year that I will take some more time for myself.  As pretty much most of last year I was a mum 24/7 and I thing I had about five days all to myself.  SO I am making a promise to myself that once a month I am going to take the time to have a me day, while my fiance looks after the girls.

Anyway hope everybody had a fun night and day and that 2012 brings you lots of luck and fun.
