    Right bedroom all done apart from bedding which may be tomorrow or Friday

    Bathroom floor swept and mopped and bathmat and shower curtain washed

    LR cleaned all done

    Up to date for this weeks list for a change - nice having a day off in the week to catch up instead of squashing it all in to the weekend as usual. Study reading for 3hours - and boy is it hard work!

    fedup well done you really seem well organised and getting into your studying - hope the course is enjoyable

    Cheers m'dear!

    Its hard work - working full time and studying part time and the course is pretty high level difficult too! Still after this module Year 1 is done apart from the dissertation work over the summer

    Anyway off to take the dog for a walk then plant some seeds and then get back to finishing off todays chapter (1 instead of 3 as I planned) very complex reading for today :eek: and get all my bag ready for tomorrow

    I was called very organised yesterday as Itook everything I needed with me for all day - drinks, fruit, snacks, lunch etc instead of spending the best part of £10 in the cafe and also £5 on train fare. My aim for this week was to keep to the budget as am there all week

    Glad I've caught up with the flying today as I know how much time it will free up this weekend and I am looking forward to a good weekend and the clocks change too :D

    I've almost run out of things on the to do list!

    Got to wipe over the woodwork in kitchen, office and living room and that's pretty much it for now. Since I'm obsessed with the hoover I may hoover upstairs again though I only did it two days ago :rotfl:

    Hmm have you tried leaving a bowl of white vinegar in each room? and can you claim any monies back from them?

    Thank you very much Dragon, I will give the white vinegar a try.

    I've registered a complaint with the Letting company involved (but don't expect to get very far), after that I will register my complaint with the Property Ombudsman.

    Union Girl~ do you own this flat? (ie are you the landlord) If so, have the departing tenants has ALL thier deposit back?

    If you still have the deposit then you need to deduct for professional cleaning of the sofa / carpets and what ever else needs doing, ie maybe repaining the wall, dry cleaning of the curtains etc, that is what the deposit is for.
