Cleaning!

Cleaning...a process that is not of choice but a necessity! There have been times where cleaning has been somewhat theraputic and on occasion fun when at uni and its a team effort. But the majority of the time its a mundane task which I personally avoid!

This morning I woke up with great intention and already an hour later I'm pissed off! 

First I put a washing on..Struggling to get the load to the machine, I nearly fell flat on my face tripping over everything I dropped on the way. When everything was finally in the machine I popped in one of the little capsules, some fabric softner, set the machine and started the wash. Then I turn around to find the capsule had rolled back out of the machine and was lying on the floor. In a quick panic I turned the machine off but it wouldnt let me in. After fiddling around finally I got in and luckily managed not to flood the floor. So, the washing is on! Next...

The bathroom...Whose idea was it to invent clear shower doors? I cleaned them from the inside, I cleaned them from the outside, then the inside, then the outside.....and there are still steaky bits!! By this point the floor is like a swimming pool. Then the loo, it speaks for itself...boke! The window sill (which we use as a shelf) having to remove everything to put it all back up. While returning all those pointless things to their place (i.e. 3 of dads hair gels which I'm sure he doesn't use as he hardly has any hair) I managed to knock my electric toothbrush out the window. Sneaking outside in the tiniest pjamas, of course its somehow landed at the top of the drive. The toothbrush in a gonner! Completely annihilated, total destruction :(. The sink I managed to clean without any drama until I replaced the soap which I managed to get everywhere so had to clean it all again. By the time I got to the mirror I gave up! 

In addition to the stress of cleaning ive managed to chip my nails, gain a couple of bruises and my hands are screaming out for hand cream! For those who enjoy cleaning I envy you and for those who like my mother are obsessed with cleaning (even though she doesnt think so) I dont know how you do it. Owell another few rooms to go...thank god I live in a flat and not a house!
