I have cleaned the kitchen. This will be a big post.

I totally cleaned out the kitchen, which is good! Scrubbed out all the cupboards and cleaned the oven and everything! But then I went to ikea, and bought New Things, which is bad... However, I am still quite a lot in credit. Witness!

In:

5 pairs of socks
1 pair of knickers
2 x mats to put under the dog bowls
1 x doormat
5 x new recycling bins
12 x new plates
6 x new dishes
1 x new broom (to sweep clean!)
3 x new saucepans
1 x veg steamer
6 x teaspoons
1 x bat puppet for my little girl
1 x new Lack coffee table - which cost five pounds! YAY Ikea!
1 x new scrubbing brush
6 x new dishcloths

... which is a total of 52 items

Out:

29 x fridge magnets
33 x assorted empty storage jars
2 x broken plates
2 x broken glasses
1 x dented metal teapot
1 x knackered saucepan
1 x kettle lead and base
1 x ancient dog food storage bin
1 x broken-handled broom
3 x assorted jars of out of date pickle and jam
2 x black bin bags general rubbish
1 x bag cardboard
1 x coffee table with broken leg
1 x knackered scrubbing brush

... which is a total of 79 items

Totals:

Running: 0
Days: +4
Out: -79
In: +52

Grand total = -23 !!!!

Nothing felt so good as throwing that knackered old coffee table into the timber skip at the tip, and watching it pinwheel down to the bottom, shedding its three remaining legs on the way. It made a very satisfying crashing noise. Today I plan to finish scrubbing the hob and surfaces, and then sort out some clothes for the charity shop. Which will put me even more in credit! YAY!

*snerk* Soli'ull. I was Brum for Uni, so I spent most of my time in Smelly Oak/Edgbaston/Harborne.

Yeah, bruv was an EdgyBastard for a while, before he went "upmarket".

He lived somewhere called Mole Street for a while, and was a bit put out when it was pointed out that it said "MoleSt" at the end of his street.

Oh, ouch on the MoleSt thing. I have to say I only lived in Edgbaston one year, and that was in halls, although we backed on to the cricket ground.

Oooh, is that Nanny Ogg? *mouseovers* It is! Yay Discworld!
