Eeew. How did you know?

What a nice surprise! :giggle

I am soooooo joining this challenge! I'll bow out of the points part (stresses me out for some reason; let's not get too deep into the psychology of that one, shall we? ;)) but I'd still like to post in the threads if nobody minds.

My refrigerator is already clean (had houseguests from Dec 1-9 and I deep-cleaned it before their arrival) but I'm taking on the challenge to do some Christmas stuff - I'm almost done shopping, but I need to update my spreadsheet and get the card list together. Daily stuff: Kept up with the dishes all day today except need to do the dinner dishes; did a hotspot sweep of the computer armoire and my nightstand. :rockon

:doh I did this the other day in preparation for our party we had- I had to make room for party food and drink. I cleared off two entire shelves!! Today, I did manage to find 3 containers to empty and wash, though. 9 pts

Bonus: What do you need to do to get ready for Christmas? 10 points for anything you can get done (address Christmas cards, make a batch of cookies, etc.)
Mmmmm, I don't think I did anything! :blush I did make a cake for tomorrow's Christmas brunch I will be attending, though.

Daily tasks: Two 5-minute hot spot pick-ups (10 points) bedroom dresser and trunk at foot of the bed
Did you do some dishes? (10 points) I did tonight's dinner dishes! :woohoo


I must say that it was nice to come down to a clean kitchen this AM. I actually could cook breakfast (pancakes and eggs) and do the breakfast dishes, and I swept the kitchen floor. too.

[greenjellysnakes]

I'm kind of embarrassed about how many points I've accumulated today. The fridge was in desperate need of a clean out. I get rid of leftovers fairly regularly, but today I went through everything - condiments, flours, seeds, nuts etc. I threw away a lot. 135 pts worth, to be precise. That's 45 different things! :blush I also wiped down the entire inside of the fridge - 9 shelves and 3 drawers for 60 pts.

Getting ready for Christmas - I baked, and put together a Christmas swap package and got it in the mail - 10 pts

Hot spots picked up - 10 pts

Dishes done (thanks DH!) - 10 pts

Today's total - 225. Please feel free to take away points for being so neglectful of the fridge situation, and wasteful of food :blush

Tammy- my fridge has been like that in the past!!! All sorts of gross science experiments, etc. :hug

[inesperada]

Me, too. I didn't manage to get to my fridge yesterday. :O Only 30 pts for me yesterday.

[mom2threegirls]

I did well with the dishes yesterday so 10 points there, put up a couple Christmas things (we finally have our tree up! yay! 10 points), and cleared the kitchen table (5) and the counters (5). Planned on getting to the fridge but just never did :shrug. So 30 points for me for yesterday :).

[hey mommy]

I didn't do the 'fridge, but I did wrap some presents.

And I did dishes.

So, a measly 20 points for me...

I did throw some stuff out of the fridge on Sunday though.

[inesperada]

If you did it sunday, you can have points for it. ;)
