    Good luck! Hope goes well. I hated viewings - loads of cleaning, de-dogging and brewing "inviting" coffee smells :rolleyes:

    I know luckily I have kept the place fairly tidy.

    Mum and dad are taking the dog tonight and collecting DD from school tomorrow for me. So going to have a blitz tonight and then finish work early to have another blitz.

    Would be mortified if someone came into my house and thought it was untidy or dirty so I will be overly obsessive about cleaning lol

    I loathe housework and happily live in a slightly shabby fashion so it was painful for me to have to keep clean and tidy.

    Funniest thing was bloke who ended up buying the house was my neighbour who knew I was dirty cow :rotfl:
