Kitchen day 3

 I was up by 10am. Clocks go back tonight in the uk so i probably be up at 9am tomorrow. 

In the kitchen. The cooker on the outside has been cleaned as well as the oven top fan.

The inside oven is usable and wasn't worth the effort cleaning, as i plan to get a new one when its all done.

The cooker is looking all good on the outside. 

I stated to scrab the floor and it removed some dirt but not brilliant. Then i moved onto the small gap between the kitchen and bathroom. I cleaned up that whole area and is now looking much cleaner. 

Im not sure what other job i will do today. I still got the fridge and sink side to clean up and inside the cupboard. 

If i do anymore today i add it here.

Kitchen day 2

 Half the kitchen is empty. The cooker side and started on the deep clean. Im cleaning the old grease off with baking soda and vinegar then hot water and soap. It seems to be working and getting the hard sticky bits off. I got almost a week to do all this and can concentrate on one small area a time. 

Its 6pm and having a break then i need to start cooking dinner.

I do as as much as i can today concentrating on just the grease.  I wont think to much of tomorrow. 

The living room is packed with kitchen stuff and its not all of it. No way can that all fit back in.

Kitchen day 1

 I started to remove stuff from the kitchen. I am using the living room for now to hold the stuff.

I sorted stuff as,

Stuff i want to keep nearby. 

Stuff to keep but not used regularly. 

Stuff that is rubbish. 

And a pile of pet biscuits that my pets didn't like. Worth trying again to see if they like it this time before its out for the foxes.

I started later then planed to start doing the kitchen but all should be done by end of the month. 

I probably won't decorate it just yet but will give it all a deep clean. 

Not today

 It's Tuesday and i wanted to start the kitchen on Monday. 

Everything seems good. Im in a good mood. I got food. I got the rubbish in bags for wensday rubbish collection day. Just today i can't kick start me cleaning the kitchen. 

Im up all night and sleeping all day. Woke up around 2pm today. It's 5pm now and I've only been awake for 3 hours. This is more likely why I'm not cleaning up the kitchen right now. 

Normally i would feel like im never going to do it. But looking back on my blog i can see i am making progress.  Also i wake up to a clean bedroom.  I've noticed i been using my coat stand as a easy way to hang clothes on. So far it isn't too cluttered, but i have to make a rule. It's ok for the clothes im wearing regularly but not as a storage hanger. I also have my rucksack hanging there but i think that's acceptable. 

Socks are being dumped on the floor. I got two pairs already by the bed. Probably need to be put in the washing basket. 

I wouldn't say i was a slob, but these little mistakes lead to living like one. 

Back to the kitchen. 

I want it done by Friday. Including today, i got 4 days left. But today i just don't feel ready for it. Why?

1. Bad sleep routine. It may be 5pm but im still not fully energised and it's time to make dinner. 

That's the only excuse i got.

I see if i can do it tonight..

Update.....

Thursday morning 430am.

I got up late today and that's effecting my clean up.

Even a simple unload and load up the dishwasher seems a task.

Staying up late is how i live. Im not one for Staying in a routine and always around winter time and parts of summer, i end up Staying awake at night. 

Being awake at night isn't the same energy as being awake in the day.

Im in a restless state and my body still wants to rest. Maybe something to do with the sun and night cycle affecting our mind and body's. 

I can't see this kitchen getting done this week and im only two rooms away from a competently clutter free home. 

Here is how i plan to takle this.

Tomorrow when i wake up. I will fill just one box of stuff from the kitchen that i want to keep and use regularly. 

It's easier to pick things i know i use then to pick stuff im not sure i want.

I will keep the box nearby and then move on to packing bits i use weekly. 

That will leave bits i don't use which i will pack up and store away waiting to go in the loft.

With the kitchen cleared. Time to clean everything. 

As long as i do a little bit then it will eventually get done and even at this slow pace it will be done by next week.

Also i will do what i can to snap out of this sleep routine to speed up the de cluttering. 

I'm having a bath and i got relaxing music on. I won't stress over this time delay as life isn't all about cleaning.  If the kitchen is done by the end of this month (7 days) then i got the whole of November to do the living room. 

Ok. Next post will be a job post.
