Well not today. I decided this morning that the 15 minute challenge for today was to finally tackle those horrible walls with a cloth and some warm soapy water.
However, after collecting the kids from school we had to trawl around three different DIY stores to buy wood and hinges for Seb's DT project. By the time I cam home and had started cooking the dinner I didn't particularly feel inclined to start cleaning. But I reminded myself it was only fifteen minutes and donned my plastic gloves.
Now feeling very satisfied.
It was quite hard work as I had to use a lot of elbow grease on some particularly bad scribble but various walls now look a lot cleaner with fewer horrible marks.
Actually once I got started and was taking a close look at each internal wall in the house, I realised how bad some of them were actually looking - eek! Quite embarrassing to look at your own house from the perspective of how visitors must view it.
And there are definitely some walls that really need a fresh coat of paint but at least now I can tell the difference.
Glad I made myself stick to the challenge today. Would have been so easy to duck out of it but in the end it didn't seem to take very long at all. now I can reward myself with a cup of coffee and a phone call to my best friend.
