OK, I know at this exact moment in time I'm actually writing a blog entry, but I have today been gripped by a very rare, possibly even unheard of urge to clean the house!
Everything has just been so damn busy lately that I'm ashamed to admit our little three-bed terrace has become something Aggie and Kim would have a mildly excited fit over.
I'm not talking mouldy, rat infested kitchens and germ-ridden bathrooms, but there is a layer of dust over everything and piles of stuff pretty much everywhere, including clean washing which has been sitting in baskets waiting to be put away for about two weeks!
So, anyway, Da Boy and me got up this morning with a mission - get the house clean, tidy and looking like a show home by the time the sun sets tonight.
So far, I've tidied and dusted the bedroom (and believe me, the tidying was a mammoth task!), emptied bins, chucked away all sorts of pointless bits of paper, magazines and other rubbish that had accumulated on various surfaces, wiped the wardrobe doors down and am shortly about to start finally putting those clothes where they belong - in the newly clean wardrobe and drawers. Then I'm going to get to it with the Hoover.
Da Boy, bless him, has vacuumed the rest of the house and cleaned the bathroom, which just leaves the kitchen to be cleaned, some washing up to be done and the living room to be dusted and tidied.
I have to admit, and anybody who already knows me will nod their heads fervently in agreement, that I am not the most tidy person in the world. However, I can't stand to live in a dirty house and am quite obsessive about having a clean bathroom and kitchen.
Da Boy has now gone off the play band with his side project (yes, he's not even famous yet and he has a side project!) for the next few hours so my big plan is to get the upstairs finished, living room sorted and the kitchen back in working order with space on the worktops before he gets back this teatime.
So, with that in mind, I'd best drag myself away from the damned computer and get to it!
Aggie and Kim, you ain't got nothing on me today! Bring on the late-summer cleaning spree!
