    Yes, although technically it wasn't spring, it was Sunday and Monday.

    Maaaay have had something to do with the fact that we had a rental inspection today. And we're moving in a month so that kept us motivated to just pack some stuff away (or chuck it) while we were at it.

    It does feel good though doesn't it!

    Well, I actually got my act into gear and cleaned the oven, although it was well and truly due, so not really due to it being spring.

    My motivation to clean happened on sunday where i scrubbed the kitchen from top to bottom, vacuumed the whole house, scrubbed the bathroom from top to bottom, cleaned the toilet, i did 2 loads of washing and i washed our towels and hung them out. All of which took me an hour and a half.

    Tomorrow i have more cleaning to do, i need to clean up the spare rooms and organise the garage. My backyard needs cleaning up, needs to be mowed and my gardens need to be weeded and i have to sweep all the tanbark off the concrete.. the sweeping and weeds is all i can do which annoys me.

    Im still at my sisters in Melbourne, but I cleaned her bathroom (vomit), her bedroom (covered with dust an inch think lol) her pantry, did her washing from about the last 3 months and vacuumed the house ...
    It was fun!!

    You certainly achieved a lot in one day. Feel free to drop by my house any time!!! I'm afraid the spring cleaning bug didn't bite me today. We made the most of a sunny day ( we have had weeks and weeks of rain here) and went to feed the ducks at the park and visited our Playgroup Toy Library to hire some new toys and puzzles. Maybe I'll clean tomorrow-or maybe not!!

    Wow you are most welcome to drop in to my place!! I can't seem to get to the bottom of the clean washing basket lately.
    Enjoy your lovely clean house - you deserve it!!

    I got stuck into toys and sorting stuff. We got a new bookshelf/toybox combo for R's room and a trundle toybox for the big boys room the other day so I had toy sorting session.

    Put all the baby stuff in her room, toddler stuff in C's room and other stuff in boys room.

    DH came home from work and tidied and dusted the top of the entertainment unit on the front room too.
