    Pigpen how did it go with the cleaner?

    In the end I didn't get to clean up before she came so she has seen it pretty much as bad as it gets.. she vacuumed up water from the kitchen floor and said the boys must have done it (vacuuming glitter from the hallway.. erm.. no.. but anyway).. it took 2.5 hours to get the kitchen HALF DONE! It is 20ft x 11 ft so not small anyway.. and it does easily take that long. She said next week she'll do the back room .. and I just said no I want the bathroom doing next week because I'm struggling to do it and it is desperately in need.

    In all I think it is a case of wait and see how I deal with it because she had to keep asking me questions I still never got anything done but hopefully that will be ok when we have got her sorted and she knows where everything is... theoretically at any rate!

    Kazmeister - well I got the 'kaz' bit right! I think you've looked at pictures of another caravan but ours is identical...same upolstery and everything. Ours isn't on the internet. We weren't going for the end washroom until we saw this one and realised the rest of the caravan looked more spacious as it didn't have a toilet half way down. Also, stripes will have her bed in the shower cubicle at night - I love all the storage in the bathroom too.

    The good news is I don't feel carp because of overdoing it. I've got a sickness bug so been up all night. Actually feel a bit better now apart from tired! Was going to go to Argos today to pick up a load of bits for the caravan (i've got vouchers) so I might leave that now. The list will be done later when children / DH come home as i'm not doing it! Sadly, i've had to cancel my client today as can't risk giving her a bug. Second day of work and had to cancel....good eh! You've got to laugh! xx Well done flylady flower and toots for your continued adventures in invisible writing land!!!
