I hear ya on the blinds, Ginger, when I was a teen I once decided to clean the blinds in my room and boy I wished I had left them alone. How miserable!

I decided that I'd get them back by cleaning other things in the kitchen so that they'd feel bad being the only crappy dirty thing My cutlery drawer, fridge, kitchen cupboards, skirtings and microwave are still feeling a bit shocked, but it looks good!

(Yesterday was the pantry - cleaned from top to bottom, including the light shade! I can't seem to stop cleaning at the moment - the whole of last Sunday was spent emptying and sorting cupboards and wardrobes and cleaning the life out of them as well ... Oooo and the bed was pulled out, the walls behind the bed dusted and the floor vacuumed to within an inch of its life! )

And believe me, if I'd been able to work out how to get the blimmin things off the wall, they'd have been thrown a lot further than across the room! ]]> Sun, 09 Sep 2007 13:31:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10588&PID=210483&title=never-again-housework-rant#210483 <![CDATA[Never again (housework rant) : LOL Ginger, I can just imagine...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10588&PID=210479&title=never-again-housework-rant#210479 Author: AnnC

We got some wooden blinds for our kitchen from Spotlight too when they were on sale & they were a pretty good price from memory. Of course your windows do need to be a "standard" size for this to work.

Go the chocolate. You've just reminded me I have some in the cupboard...]]> Sun, 09 Sep 2007 12:47:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10588&PID=210470&title=never-again-housework-rant#210470 <![CDATA[Never again (housework rant) : Blinds aren&#039;t actually too...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10588&PID=210462&title=never-again-housework-rant#210462 Author: kebakat

New blinds aren't cheap. We're replacing our rotten roller blinds in our kitchen - and one blind for one window is $300.
You can get one of those blind cleaning gadgets from the Homecare catalogue - I can recommend them. ]]> Sun, 09 Sep 2007 11:49:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10588&PID=210452&title=never-again-housework-rant#210452 <![CDATA[Never again (housework rant) : Good excuse to buy more blinds???...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10588&PID=210446&title=never-again-housework-rant#210446 Author: Paws

I have spent almost an entire morning trying to clean the blinds in my kitchen. You know how surfaces in the kitchen get the sticky yellowish film on them? I'd finally got sick of the blinds and decided to tackle them.

3 hours later, I have blinds which are dirtier than when I started, half of them are broken, including the blimmin stick that turns them, and I'm covered in cuts from the stupid things! I *didn't* take into account how old they may be before I started, and how brittle old plasic gets (and how sharp it is when it breaks).

So, I've thrown a tantrum, left the blimmin things as they are, and I don't care if they look hideous.

Ooooohhh ... I'm so glad there is chocolate in the house at the moment!! ]]> Sun, 09 Sep 2007 11:30:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10588&PID=210445&title=never-again-housework-rant#210445
