    Done 🙂
    I started with the glove box .. went onto the car boot .. then decided to clean & vacuum the interior as well .. now I don’t have to be embarrassed having passengers who end up covered in Labrador hair 🙂

    Thanks for an easy task today. This one is already done. My glove box is small, can’t hold much more than the owner’s manual. I’ve been trying to keep the car reasonably clean since I got it back from the body shop. Taking the trash out every time I get home really helps keep it clean. Just needs vacuuming and a wash to make it look great.

    Done…including cleaning out the interior of the car. The glove-box was easy and took no time at all- all that was in there was the car’s handbook, my insurance card, and a hairbrush. So…all I really had to do was remove the brush, clean up a few pieces of garbage on the floorboards….then check to see if I had the items that I want to make sure I carry with me in the car at all times. Good mission- thanks!

    Washed and cleaned my car a couple of weeks ago. Car is always keep tidy as its a mum’s taxi / driving instructors car for my 17 year old son and his mates. I had one water bottle to throw out.

  5. Megan S. says:

    Another good one. Not sure why I had 3 years of proof of insurance in there, but I did. Now it’s cleaned out though. This is fun and feels good. Bring on lucky day 13.

    This was a free day as I clear out my car almost daily, when sitting at lights or waiting for someone.
    I did sort out the reusable shopping bags into a see-through box to keep them tidy. I love those boxes and bought lots at a cheap shop. Finding many uses for them.
