At the risk of getting shouted at, if you all went and did it instead of chatting on Gransnet...... grin

I have made a start. Last week cleared the bathroom cabinet of old/ out of date creams etc. There is now room for more stuff/rubbish. This week I have defrosted our two freezers, and feel very virtuous. We are going away for a few days tomorrow, and when I come back I want to 'upcycle' a glass fronted cabinet. I have bought the sandpaper and the paint. ?

I don't have a bathroom cabinet...rather a drawer under the basin unit. This gets cleared out regularly as it is so handy.
But I spruce my DS's house once a fortnight (no Mum to sort this out for DS and GC's).
Lat week I tackled his bathroom cabinet and threw out six (yes SIX) old/finished toothpaste tubes, two empty deodorant sprays, one defunct electric toothbrush and numerous (?used) cotton ear buds!

I don't have a bathroom cabinet, just a tiny free standing chrome stand/thingy that holds the very bear/bare essentials.

I love clearing out, its my second favourite hobby. Sad I know.

When one of you has finished clearing out your cabinets can you please come and do mine?

loopy; that's where I am. Just back from holiday; haven't unpacked yet and had left the house in an even bigger mess than I'd thought. Watched that extreme house cleaning programme last night to cheer myself up whilst wondering if they could come and help me [white overalls and all]...katek; surprisingly the ginger didn't sting but, had I not had a shower I bet I would have been scratching all night. It smelt horrible [but then again, so does the frankincense]. Should have stuck to the lavender....

Everywhere in this house needs clearing out. Where do you people start?

I enjoy cleaning out the bathroom cabinet and cupboards, never know what I will find.?
Almost put ear drops in my eye the other year, so am more careful now about what I use.

tegan2 - wasn't the ginger oil bath a little nippy on the nether regions?!? grin

And I need to clean the fridge - every day I promise myself I will do it; and every day I get to bed and think Darn I did not do it!

I've had a busy week and a house full of guests. I have put (a) hair conditioner on my face instead of moisturiser and (b) used (very nice) foot balm from Neals Yard on my bodd-ay. smile

Not as bad as the lady who put super glue in her eye instead of eye drops shock. For some reason, my bathroom cabinet is one of the few tidy things in my house! Mind you, I did have a bath using ginger oil drops instead of frankincense the other night; I realised pretty quickly that it was the wrong stuff but was too tired to get out of the bath and just showered it off afterwards in case it made my skin itch.

I narrowly missed spraying deodorant on my head and dry shampoo under my arms this morning! Spotted my mistake at the last moment. Could have been worse-there's an air freshener in there as well. Time for some rearrangement methinks.
