Just asked Aimee to take some pictures of my clean kitchen. Just wish it would stay like that.
I have decided that renting is just as stressful as selling as house. One of the major plus points of renting the house was that I wouldn't have to do viewings on the house-how wrong was I on that one. I have however learnt a few things over the last week
1) You notice every speck of dust, mark, smudge or finger print when you;re cleaning for a viewing.
2) Every flaw or imperfection in the house seems huge all of a sudden.
3) Children can destroy a house in a matter of mili seconds.
4) Appearances can be very deceptive-it's amazing where you can stick things to make the house look tidy. (Chris was driving around with a car full of ironing and poorly children this morning just to get them out the house)
5) Despite the house being tidier than it's ever been I can't find anything!
So yesterday we were at West Park and had several appointments with builders, electricians and window people-Has to be one of the most labourious days ever. Not helped by Emmaleigh constantly asking when we can go home and the "I'm bored" every 5 mins. We then had to race into town to get the keys back before they closed and then to the dentist. Ha what a laugh that was-all of us for our first appointent at the new dentist. How many forms did we have to fill in! The best part was we were able to get Anna-Belle to surrender her dummy to the dentist. Managed one day so far without it-wehey!
Today hasn't been much better-stayed up late tidying up, set the alarm for 7 and for some reason it went off at 6 and because I'm half blind in a morning without my glasses got up and started cleaning! Didn't realize until I tried to wake Danny up for school and he asked why I was waking him up in the middle of the night? Opps
Anyway-couldn't risk the kitchen being a mess again so sent Chris and the kids to "grandmas" for breakfast in their PJs. Sent the ironing too but that came back-humm.
So the rest of the day s going to be spent trying to keep the house clean for another viewing tonight, organize more work men for tomorrow-phone calls to buildings control and looking after sick kids-anyone want to trade places?? I didn't think so...

I'm killing myself laughing here. I bet you feel better with the place tidy though!
Glad I was able to bring a smile to your face-I wouldn't laugh too hard dad-if the work is going to cost too much we'll be looking for volunteers!
Poor old Juli - it sounds stressful and tiring. Hope everyone feels better soon.
(I was already doing the fillering with the bath full - thanks! - pain in the neck - it's been full for about a week now and I worry the kids will drown or something so am keeping the door locked...)
