Cleaning the oven. Horrible job that needs to be done!

The endless dishes/kitchen cleaning, as soon as you are finished, it is time to make next meal, and make more dishes/mess!

I have a mountain of laundry that needs some serious attention, I tend to wash what I “need” and leave the rest until “tomorrow” so my pile is never ending.

cleaning the oven is just the worst household job, the bathroom comes second, but they have to be done
Nov 26, 2012 10:36 pm
It would have to be the oven 🙂
Nov 26, 2012 10:52 pm
The job I just keep putting off is cleaning off the mould that has built up over winter in the spare room, its on the ceiling and the wall!

Nov 27, 2012 7:33 am
cleaning the oven would be really good, but since we are having a BBQ it dont matter so much..hehe…so washing down all the outdoor furniture would probably be priority

Cleaning the lounge ceiling after a winter of fires
Nov 27, 2012 9:15 am
My oven is a fire hazard needs urgent cleaning, lol! Other than that the windows need a good clean!
Nov 27, 2012 9:32 am
My oven as well. It is my job to do all the baking for the family, but the oven is so dirty I am worried it will taint the Christmas Cakes with the smell of Burnt Lasagne!
Nov 27, 2012 10:18 am
I would love to get my whole house cleaned by someone else! I just lack the energy, and feel tired just thinking about it. I have a birthday next week, and have asked for a clean house, so fingers crossed. Although with three little kids I imagine it will be a short lived present unfortunately.
Nov 27, 2012 10:39 am
I would love to clean out the cupboards before Christmas, especially the kids cupboards to make room for all their new things they will get for Christmas
Nov 27, 2012 11:10 am
Definitely cleaning of my oven!
Nov 27, 2012 6:11 pm
My sheets are an off-white.. when they’re meant to be white. The Vanish Napisan would be wicked!!!

Would love to get the windows cleaned, the country spiders and their webs are big and extra sticky.
Nov 27, 2012 9:17 pm
I’m
looking forward to cleaning the main bathroom, after I’ve finished
constructing and installing it before Xmas as the kids sharing the ensuite is
wearing thin.
Nov 27, 2012 9:23 pm
My venetian blinds definitely need a good clean!
Nov 27, 2012 9:33 pm

Cleaning the oven and the glass shower doors… Ugh those are the worst jobs ever!!! But the most important ~ clean food and clean bodies are a must!! 🙂
Nov 28, 2012 9:55 am
I would love to give the kitchen a ruddy good clean inside and out! There are grubby little hands constantly rummaging through my cupboards looking for hidden treats so they definitely need a good clean 🙂
Nov 28, 2012 10:29 pm
It’s been a year-long mission rather than a chore… sorting out the garage! Would love to get everything clean and tidy for the holiday season. On a smaller scale – definitely the over-used, under-cleaned oven. One day, I’ll get everything done. One day.
Nov 29, 2012 7:37 am
Hmm, just one??! Think that would have to be cleaning the windows…my most hated task, but kinda necessary with all the pollen about.
Nov 29, 2012 1:42 pm
I would LOVE to win this – apart from everything else I really want to give our bathroom a birthday and make it shine top to bottom. Please pick me!
Nov 30, 2012 12:53 pm
I will be cleaning the things that you normally close and forget about – like the oven and microwave. It’s normally out of sight and of mind!
Dec 3, 2012 9:04 am
Skirting boards, walls and ceilings are on the very long to-do list!

I need to organize and clean up my pantry to make room for more food for Christmas.
Dec 10, 2012 7:46 am
What I would love to get out of the way before Christmas is cleaning out the kids toy boxes.
