extra post for today

Having been out of touch in recent days I have decided to do two posts today.

I am taking a break now from cleaning out and rearranging the linen cupboard.

I am about half way through the job and it never ceases to amaze me how I can start one job and end up doing a zillion others along the way.

I have always been like this ... I don't know if others are too?

I cleaned a shelf in the cupboard a few days ago and covered it in contact.

Today I moved the sheets from a lower shelf up to the higher clean shelf.

I decided to strip the bed down and change the sheets at this point,using one of the sets of sheets that I discovered in the cupboard.

After trying to put it on the bed I realized why I hadn't used it before .... it was a set of double size sheets and our bed is a queen size bed.

Well it went straight to my Endos bag for giving away.

Then of course I had to get out another set of sheets and make my bed.

Half the sheet/pillowcases went into the wash because they smell like they have been in storage for a while. The rest went neatly onto the shelf. So now it looks like I have plenty of room on that shelf, but I need to wait until I have washed, folded and put away the "dirty" sheets and pillowcases for the job to be complete.

Then I cleaned the bottom shelf and when it dries I will attempt to put the vacuum cleaner in there.

The shelf above it is now clean as well and holds all our games (boardgames etc) organized neatly (not sure how long this state will last!!!). Some of kt's artwork supplies will go here too if they can fit.

I want to leave some space on each shelf for my sewing gear too, but I wonder if I will have enough room.

Before I put the vacuum cleaner into the cupboard I really also need to empty the dust compartment, clean out the filter (6 monthly job due to be done now) and then of course I really should vacuum the floor too because I can't remember the last time I actually did that .....

See what I mean!!!!

I am also waiting for some hooks that I put in the linen cupboard to completely bond to the door surface before I hang my brooms and mops and things up on them.

Then I will need to try and see if I can fit the folded up ironing board in the remaining upright space ...but of course before I do I will probably need to finish all my ironing, fold it and get it put away .....

Is it only me ....
