    Mattresses have arrived as well as our new bed and mattress, was a surprise because our bed wasn't due until end of july. :D

    Boys mattresses on their beds already, need to take the old ones to the tip at some point this week but i'm sure i could fill the car with more rubbish.

    Right i better get a move on...
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
    :j :j

    NATTY - Feel better soon xx
    FRITTERED AWAY - How exciting, hope your new flat is lovely and that you're very happy there


    Right, in my HHC I did a few jobs left from last week:
    • Dusted & de-webbed master BR and sorted some clutter
    • Wiped marks off wall in spare room
    • Wiped sink, loo and window frames and blind in en-suite and made a start on the skirting boards (very grubby & a bit mouldy, gonna take some time :o)
    Also:
    • Tidied up the lounge after having 9 different people and a staffy over at various times over the weekend :eek:
    • Cleaned the dining table and table mats
    • Put away everything from the dishdrainer
    • Made a super-size coffee ;)
    Will start another HHC @ 10.30 after a little rest :)

  • It's not a 'proper' new flat, it's my student place. First time I've had any responsibility though, I've been in halls for two years.

    It's a lovely place though - all modern and laminate but high ceilings too. I get the best bedroom cause I'm first in, muahaha ;)

    Nearly there but I've got to hang around all day though cause they're cleaning it. I'll just sit around with a coffee making my list of questions to ask the LL.
