Day 11 and Mission Catch Up

Ok! I'm almost caught up!

I managed to get all of today's tasks done, and the oven from Friday's Task!

Today's Tasks were to clean the Washing Machine and to De-clutter and Organise the Linen Press.  I did a massive clear out of the Linen Press a couple of months ago, so this task wasn't too hard, I did however get rid of a few more towels and re-organised it. I will see if I can find some photos of what it was like before I did the big overhaul a couple of months ago, and share those with you as well!

I forgot to take before photos of the oven racks, so took a photo of them once they had been soaking in the bath for a while. Check out the colour of the water! Ewwwww!

Here are some Before photo's from Today:

Before - inside the oven

The worst part was the door! OMG it was orange!!!!! Only thing on the bottom of the oven was dust! All the gunk and crap fell into the grill thingy { insert technical term here }.

Before - outside of oven

I think this was filthier than the inside!

Oven Racks

Soaking in the bath! Still needed to use Steel Wool to clean them though ... Here are the after shots!

After - inside the oven

After - Outside of oven

Ooooooooooh Shiny!

Here are the before photos of my Linen Press:

Before - Door 1

A little untidy.

Before -Doors 2 and 3

I love the size of my Linen Press! I had a look for the old before photo (when I purged 4 garbage bags of linen we didn't use) and all I could find was this instagram one.....

Check out the before!!!

Holy Moly!!! I can't believe it was ever like that!!! How on earth did I find anything in that???? Here are today's afters: 

After - Door 1

After - another shot of door 1

After - Doors 2 and 3

Not much of a difference, but I did pull out and re-fold all the blankets and towels :)

After - Doors 2 and 3

Closer shot of the bottom towel shelves.... kids towels on the top (they each have their own pile) and mine and Mr Misters on the bottom.. Behind My pile are the white "Guest" Towels, and behind Mr Misters pile, are the towels we use then we go to the pool.

After - Doors 2 and 3

I didn't refold and sort the doona covers and sheets (top two shelves), but I did pull out and refold and sort the blankets...

When I washed the washing Machine, I did not use the instructions from the link I posted this morning { sorry Kat }. I did some research (gotta love Google) and I found another alternative! I have a 7.5 kg Front Loader, I put 2 tablespoons of bicarbonate of soda in the washing powder part of the dispenser, and 1/2 a cup of vinegar in the fabric softener part. Run empty on a normal cycle (not too hot, I had mine at 60°), keeping an eye on the suds level. I didn't have any issues, but apparently it can be a little bubbly due to the washing powder residue.

I didn't take any before photos - but look how shiny my machine is! 

Oooooooh Purty!!! Looks almost brand new!!!

Tomorrows Task { Day 12 }is to clean the Dishwasher, and to de-clutter and organise the bathroom cupboard. { printable }

I did my bathroom cupboards when I did my bathroom, so I will use the time that I would have spent doing that, catching up on the tasks I missed last week. Fingers Crossed I get a bit done, Jman is poorly with a fever, head full of snot, and also getting his 5-7 yo molars! Poor kid :(

I sure hope its contained to just him and that Miss Tilly and Mr Magoo don't cop it, but we're never that lucky!! If one gets it, they ALL get it...

So after taking FOREVER to get this post done, I'm going to sleep! I am knackered!!! Probably still trying to recover from the weekend! It was my 30th (+3) birthday and I had a party! First birthday party in over 7 years! Below is one of my fav selfies from the night! I had a fantastic time, and I wanna take this opportunity to thank everyone who came and contributed! Without you there wouldn't have been a party xxxxxxxx

So good luck with your dishwasher { and if you don't have one and cleaned your cupboards when you cleaned your bathroom, then DAY OFF!!! }. Talk to you tomorrow night

Meegs xx
