I have called a place in Geelong that can hopefully help me, I just have to wait a few weeks and he will get back to me.<br />
<br />
I went to the op shop today and got heaps of jocks (am planning on toilet training Michael starting Monday as it is school holidays), socks and a board to kneel on while gardening. I also went to a garage sale and scored a Black and Decker Multi-Mix Blender and heaps of wool and some cotton. I plan on making more dish/cleaning cloths with the cotton and socks with the wool.<br />

I tested the mixer out by making bread. It wasn't so good with the bread but the I do have a bread maker so will just keep using them. Not sure if it was the machine or me as I have tried to make bread in the past and it turned out flat then too. I also made some beef stock (in the slow cooker over night). I now need to make vegetable stock and then I will have a full draw full of stock (have chicken and beef and a little vegetable).<br />

So what is the first challenge? To clean the kitchen.<br />
<br />
Nothing like cleaning the fridge or stove or anything like that, just the normal everyday stuff like dishes, cleaning the microwave and dusting etc.<br />
<br />
So first up is wash the dishes, which I do with my regular routines anyway (I leave them to dry in the rack and I put them away before I do the next lot), then to do the benches and the cupboard doors.<br />
<br />
Next is the microwave, give it a good clean (mine hasn't been cleaned in a while), wipe over the walls and the windows and windowsills and then to dust the light bulb (I don't have a light fitting over my lightbulb in the kitchen as yet).<br />
<br />
The next step <a href="http://theorganisedhousewife.com.au/organising/20-days-to-organise-clean-your-home-challenge-day-1/" target="_blank">The Organised Housewife</a> recommends is to declutter. I did this when I did my <a href="http://havingahallofatime.blogspot.com.au/2012/08/pantry-clean-out-stockpiling.html" target="_blank">Pantry cleanout</a> and <a href="http://havingahallofatime.blogspot.com.au/2012/08/organizing-cupboards.html" target="_blank">organised cupboards</a> so I will skip this one as I know it is satisfactory.<br />
<br />
Organising is the next step, I want to get some baskets as <a href="http://theorganisedhousewife.com.au/organising/20-days-to-organise-clean-your-home-challenge-day-1/" target="_blank">The Organised Housewife</a> has here. I have to do groceries today so will try to get some then. They will come in handy for a few things.<br />
<br />
My new habit is to do wash the dishes before I settle down to relax of the evening and today I will try to spend 5 minutes tidying one of the bookshelves in the lounge.<br />

I just tried to make my own dishwashing detergent of sorts by filling my tea infuser with some grated soap I had made and grated ahead of time.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_hmAHZUUVRE/UEsK00QbxZI/AAAAAAAAAso/CHHsIWzJwwk/s1600/IMG_00072.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_hmAHZUUVRE/UEsK00QbxZI/AAAAAAAAAso/CHHsIWzJwwk/s320/IMG_00072.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
It worked well. I opened it up as pictured below and scooped up the soap with the tea infuser until it was that full that it was still open a little. I then pushed it down (the soap is grated finely) so that the soap was packed firmly in and then I held it under hot water. When there was enough water in the sink I also swished it around in the water, keeping it under the running tap until I had enough water in the sink. This resulted in a lot more bubbles that stayed longer (they were still there when I finished the dishes).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
I am very happy with this, although I will still buy dishwashing liquid otherwise hubby will not help with the dishes and we can't have that.<br />
<br />
I also finished my dishcloth, although due to the holes and the fact that I am only new to this, I am thinking of making this into a cleaning cloth.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
All I need to do know is get either a tapestry/darning needle or a crochet hook and weave the ends in and then I am done.<br />

I then put it on low and left it to cook overnight and in the morning I got up to the smell of vegetable stock. I then bagged them up and put them in the freezer. It made 5 cups of stock.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uLH04tFIJKo/UEhC1zAYWpI/AAAAAAAAAsU/yrgbAtFU24c/s1600/IMG_00071.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uLH04tFIJKo/UEhC1zAYWpI/AAAAAAAAAsU/yrgbAtFU24c/s320/IMG_00071.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Beef stock bagged up and ready to go in the freezer</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Filling up that container was the perfect amount for vegetable stock, but if I was to do beef or chicken stock I would need half or less vegetable peelings. Next time I fill up the container I will make sure I have a chicken and beef bones available for the stock.</div>
<br />
Todays <a href="http://theorganisedhousewife.com.au/organising/20-days-to-organise-clean-your-home-challenge-pre-challenge-task-5-goals-and-sorting-tubs/" target="_blank">Pre Challenge</a> is to set goals and to get sorting containers for when I go through each room. I need one for the items I want to keep, donate, sell and for the rubbish.<br />
<br />
Really, when I clean I use shopping bags for items I want to donate and large garbage bags for the rubbish, so that leaves sorting containers for the items that I want to keep that are in the wrong area and items I want to sell. Not sure about the selling items as most things I just donate to charity. May give that one a miss at the moment.<br />
<br />
I ended up picking up this from Bargain Basement.<br />

<br />
So todays <a href="http://theorganisedhousewife.com.au/organising/20-days-to-organise-clean-your-home-challenge-pre-challenge-task-2/" target="_blank">pre challenge task</a> has been done ahead of time without me realising it. I have 3 cleaning kits already (minus a few items I am needing to get hold of). I have a bathroom, kitchen and general cleaning kit.<br />
<br />
I got my cleaning kit from <a href="http://down---to---earth.blogspot.com.au/2008/01/simple-cleaning.html" target="_blank">Rhonda's blog</a>. In it I have a shaker with bicarb soda, a spray bottle with vinegar and also with <a href="http://down---to---earth.blogspot.com.au/2011/09/green-cleaning-recipes-version-2.html" target="_blank">window cleaner</a>, rags, a toothbrush and rubber gloves. I still need to get scrubbing brushes of all sizes for these cleaning kits and I am also in the process of knitting cleaning cloths for these kits also, but in the meantime I am using whatever rags I have available at the moment.<br />

Ideally I would vacuum or sweep the main areas of my house (lounge room, dining room, sunroom and passage from sunroom to dining room) 2-3 days a week and the kitchen and under the dining room table minimum daily.<br />
<br />
To mop I use either water and vinegar or if the floor is especially dirty I would use <a href="http://down---to---earth.blogspot.com.au/2011/09/green-cleaning-recipes-version-2.html" target="_blank">this</a> floor cleaner.<br />

I thought it wouldn't take long to come to trace with my electric mixer, but turns out it is quicker with a stick blender. I thought I got rid of mine but hubby informed me tonight that we still had it in the shed. YAY!!<br />
<br />
The basic process is to obviously get everything you are going to use out, ready and then weigh all the ingrediants (checkout <a href="http://down---to---earth.blogspot.com.au/2011/08/how-to-make-cold-processed-soap-v-2.html" target="_blank">Rhonda's blog</a> for the full instructions with copha, which is what I used or <a href="http://down---to---earth.blogspot.com.au/2010/09/soap-new-recipe.html" target="_blank">this one</a> uses less Olive Oil and some Rice Bran Oil).<br />

I then added the caustic soda to the water (it will automatically heat up) and then put the saucepan on the heat to melt the copha and heat the oil. You want both the oil and the caustic soda/water mixture to be at 50 degrees celcius at the same time. I put the saucepan on high heat ane then once the copha is half melted (only half is left in the block) I turn the heat off and then when there is only a little bit left I take it off the heat (normally by this time it is around 65 degrees celcius) and then leave it until it goes down to 50 degrees celcius (once it is off the heat it wont take long to get to 50 degrees celcius), then make sure the caustic soda/water mixture is also 50 degrees celcius and then this is when you add the oil to the caustic soda/mixture and mix.</div>

I used an electric mixer this time, but it took too long to get to trace so I will be using a stick mixer next as it only takes a few minutes with them.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Once the soap gets to trace (you will know when it gets to trace when you see ripples from were the spoon/stick mixer has been form and stay for a bit rather then disappear straight away. See the picture below) you can either add extras to the soap (I added 50g pumice powder for a gritty soap for my husband who is a dairy farmer). I would not recommend adding anything until you have made a few batches of soap under your belt.</div>

I poured the soaps in the moulds and then put them in a safe place were it cans it for a few months (my dressing table) and then covered them with baking paper. I then covered them again with 2 rugs. You dont have to use rugs you could use small towels. Just something to insulate the moulds so the soaps can harden better.<br />

As all my moulds are small and I dont need to cut any of the soaps smaller, I will leave them for a few days (if I can be that patient lol) before I take them out of the moulds, but if you were to use a bigger mould like a cake or bread tin or something like that then it is advisable to check your soaps about 15 hours or so after pouring them in the moulds. If they are still to soft to come out you can put them in the freezer for about half an hour and then take them out of the freezer and out of the moulds. Once they are out of the moulds, you can then cut them up to whatever size you want.</div>

One for chooks, one for the vegie scraps to make vegie stock (or any other stock that is needed) and one for fruit scraps (for chooks and/or worms, depending on what is needed at the time).<br />

It was a hectic day yesterday. First it was a race to get out the door and to kinder and school on time, then on the way to kinder we ran out of gas (thank God for petrol) so we made it to the petrol station before kinder on petrol. Needless to say we got to school and kinder late. We stayed at school as Josh was doing Mini Olympics at school.<div>

We came home for a bit and then I had a leadership meeting. Not much happened really but I got more knitting done which is a plus.<br />
<br />
Today is grocery shopping day and then we (me and the boys) also have dancing. Not sure what else I will get done as I am normally beat after doing kinder and school drop off, groceries and then kinder and school pick up.<br />

I then went and fixed up my compost bins (they had fallen over so had to pick them up and put the compost back in them).<br />
<br />
Once that had been done I relaxed and knitted for the rest of the day. I am know up to the part of adding a stripe in the middle of the dish cloth if I want, not sure if I will. I will make that decision tomorrow when I take the knitting up again.<br />

That was until I looked over the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Iv03nRS8xU" target="_blank">video tutorial on how to cast on</a>, that is when I realised I missed one crucial step (the last step that makes the stitches stay together). Now they are fine and i am finding a lot easier.<br />
When I got up this morning I found my knitting unravelled, so I got it back up to were I was last night.<br />

I also went out to check on my worms (havent checked them for a long time) only to find they are all either dead or escaped, so I know what I will buying as soon as I can.<br />
<br />
While tea was on I cleaned out some cupboards which desperately needed doing, so know I am happy with that.<br />
<br />
Today I hope to get out in the garden to sort out my compost bins and also pick up the dog faeces (which I will feed to the last few worms I have).Rachaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14495744938423433836noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1802580017483972855.post-22202396579655685732012-08-24T14:04:00.002+10:002012-08-24T14:04:33.954+10:00My adventuresSorry blog is so late, was out all day yesterday so didn't have time to do a post.

The other thing I have done today is spend some time in the laundry. I have been following <a href="https://www.facebook.com/OrganisedHomeChallenges" target="_blank">Organised Home Challenges</a>, which helps me to get more motivated lol.<br />
<br />
While I was out yesterday I got some supplies for Kids Church and I also got some Bamboo Cotton from Spotlight to knit some dishcloths.<br />

I also got the pumice powder I ordered off eBay to make soaps for my husband as he is a dairy farmer and needs a soap that is rough. I am thinking of also adding some poppy seeds to make a bit scrubber. That will be tonights project.

Tonight we will be having leftover chicken from the roast as a chicken stir fry. Might even use some of my homemade chicken stock with it. Groceries also need to be done and I may even try to tackle the kitchen (decluttering and sorting out some space to make a stockpiling cupboard if possible) while I am in the kitchen after putting the groceries away.<br />
