Hi Guys
Been frantic busy over the last two weeks at work - business bought a hotel 16 days ago that way half converted into 5 flats and I've been cracking the whip getting everything organised to finish them.
Everybody off site on Wednesday night and I took over with my bucket, yellow marigolds, 3 spanking new microfibre cloths and my trusty bottle of stardrops. (Builders thought I'd gone seriously off my trolly) - "that looks like something my Nan would use" was one of the more polite comments.
Well don't need to tell you guys that by Friday at 4pm the place was gleaming - windows, tiles, bathrooms, taps - you could eat off my back stairs :rotfl: Unrecognisable from the spider ridden, smelly student squat I was presented with. 5 beautifull flats - very neutral, very clean, very gorgeous.
Even better - all five were let on first viewings on Friday night and Saturday morning.:T The Letting Agents commented that the flats were by far the cleanest they were able to show the families.
From next Saturday, five new families will be moving into new homes cleaned and gleamed by advice from you all.

PS I popped over today and left them all a welcome card with a bottle of stardrops and a microfibre cloth under the sink:rotfl:
PPS Too pooped to clean my own wee house tonight though. Will someone give me a kick up the bahookie and get me going again.
