Duty Roster
KITCHEN
• Mondays – Fridays
The kitchen is cleaned by auntie during this time, unless any other contributing
factors arise e.g. auntie isn’t there, the dishes are too many or mother tells us to. In
such a case rock, paper scissors (best 2/3) will be played. The winner can then
choose which side they do. Same applies on public holiday mornings/afternoons.
Dishes can be taken to the kitchen and the stove side cleared up if you want or
you’re told to.
