Dear Blog,
So, I haven't received my daily newsletter and tasks from The Organised Housewife but on facebook she has supplied a task for the day; dust the top of your fridge.
Umm, have you seen the top of my fridge?!?!? The dust is the least of my troubles! I gave it a crack anyway and the results have been interesting to say the least! Firstly it took me a very long time to "clear" my fridge of all the things that call its top home. The next bit was not so bad, the actual "dusting". It wasn't so much dusting as scraping a few years worth of dust mixed with airborne cooking grease away from its surprisingly shiny surface. I don't usually tend to use chemical cleaners where they aren't desperately required but my handy Spray and Wipe bottle was in full swing on this little task.
Once I had dusted my fridge as required by her Highly Organised, I was filled with a great sense of accomplishment. This was quickly crashed by the view of the items on my kitchen floor. What is all this stuff? Why was it put here in the first place? How can I dust/scrape a cardboard box?? You'll see in the picture that there aren't actually too many things up there but why are they there at all? Of course I remember putting them there but that doesn't mean it's my fault, does it? But then, low and behold, I opened the mysterious white box from atop the fridge and it was full... of goodies!!!! Well, they used to be good. Fortunately the wine, olives and olive oil were all good! Yay, free wine!
Anyway, my plan of attack for the other irritatingly displaced items is to wash them all (groan) and see if they'll fit in the cupboards... but what about the dog treats?? Help!!!
I didn't manage to get much of the serving wear into the cupboards but a few pieces have been cleared. I have put the dog treats in a Tupperware container, feedback on a better solution would be great!
Yes, we have a pink kitchen, it is the best kitchen in the world! I hope you enjoy the photos of this deceptively simple task...
End day 2
