You know things have gone from bad to worse when the main task getting you out of bed in the morning is cleaning. I've written myself a long list of all the jobs that I should have done that I've been putting off. I've already cleaned / smeared all the windows inside and out (I could definitely see through them better before I started - but on the plus side, I can now do my aerobics classes with the curtains open and without fear of being spotted by the neighbours). I've hoovered and dusted every skirting board and door frame in the house and I've dusted every lampshade (one less after yesterday aerobics session).
By the end of lockdown not only will I be the fittest Mortimite but my house is going to be the cleanest...
Today was the job of the kitchen cupboards and that was a revelation.....how much old food was lying around and how wasteful I have been in the past - I was actually surprised that some of the food hadn't walked off by itself as there was living mould in some of those jars (yuk)
I emptied every single cupboard and cleaned them inside and out, getting rid of sticky jam marks and layers of tea leaves....my cupboards are instantly an inch bigger top and bottom due to the lack of grime. I found jars from a decade ago and rice and pasta dating back 5 years or more. Most of jars had to be thrown out, but I have risked the grains, as a grain is surely going to be ok (watch this space to see if there are any more diary entries after this evening)
