Kitchen - Planning ahead & Leftovers:
* Froze the chicken that I bought today straight away rather than procrastinating about it.

Garden:
* I knew it was going to be hot today - forecast of 36 deg C - so I got out in the garden about 8:30am and potted up the blueberries, custard apple & various citrus that should've gone in the ground before spring but are still in their original pots... (is "potting up" the correct term for moving stuff from one pot to a bigger one??) Still one to go but I've run out of potting mix.

Finances:
* grocery shopping today. For the first time in ages, I stuck to my list and my budget. I had $80 to spend - before I left I wrote approximate prices on the list so I could see if anything had to be left off, and kept to that. Total spend $78.15. (And I've written it down as well)

Cleaned out the fridge and wiped it out. I thought I did something else too but I can't remember..

Kez - 22 Jan

Tidied the towel / linen cupboard which was in a bit of a mess.

Kez - 19 Jan

Did a big clean out of the office today. I consolidated all the stuff I have to sell on oztion and freecycled a whole heap of stuff. Some of it hasn't been claimed yet, will give it a couple of days and then take it to Vinnies if it's still here. So I can now see the floor and the desk tops :)

Kez - 18 Jan

Mopped the kitchen, laundry & toilet floors. The heat defeated me doing any more than that!

Kez - 17 Jan

Ran the cobweb brush around the kitchen ceiling.

Kez - 15 Jan

OK, time to start posting again!

Today I sorted the clothes in Billy's drawers and straightened them all up. He has more clothes than I do :)

Kez - 11 Dec

OK, I have been very slack in posting. I have been doing some stuff, but not posting it (honestly!!!)

I just cleaned the dishwasher filters (yuck) and ran it through a rinse cycle with some vinegar to clean it out.

I also did Kelly's mission of clearing off the vanity tops..

Kez - 24 Nov

I gave the loungeroom a good clean today - even de-cobwebbed, dusted, vacuumed and cleaned behind the lounge. It's amazing what you find behind there lol.

Kez - 20 Nov

I made a list of everything in the pantry, fridge & freezer that needs using up. A couple of things got thrown out and a few containers of things were consolidated.

Kez - 14 Nov

I just decluttered under the laundry tub and threw out a whole shopping bag of old rags. I was obviously keeping them in case of a rag shortage lol.

Kez - 13 Nov

Decluttered some drawers in the office - found lots of interesting things in there including lots of pretty notepaper when I thought I was out of it.
