Cleaning adventures...

Phew! I have just spent four hours cleaning!!! what a waste of life.... It was quite an adventure really and now my hands are a little chapped and beaten. I had promised JT that I would do some cleaning today when I had finished my essay because the flat was, frankly, minging!

I donned my cerise pink rubber gloves with baby pink fluffy trim round the edges and 'faux-pearls' around the outside of the fluff (thanks Mark & Soph!!) and set to work cleaning the bathroom. I discovered that the USELESS toilet seat provided by the landlord (it shifts about a foot to the right every time you sit down and practically fires you across the bathroom!) is past its best to say the least. I lifted the two seats to find a crust of limescale round the inner ring and nearly screamed!! Time for a new toilet seat, I decided.

I marched off to Argos clutching the tenner that my Mum had just given me (£5 because she wanted to see where Sparkle fell out the window and dropped the bottle of mouthwash that was holding the window open down into the basement and felt guilty, and £5 for no apparent reason - cool!) and started to browse the vast array of toilet seats. I decided against the one with barbed wire in it, as it doesn't look very welcoming!! I got what I thought was a spangly glittery silver one, but it turned out to be a fairly boring one with bits of tin foil stuck in it.

I then fitted it (How difficult can it be?? ... I thought, for the first 5 minutes....) and set about cleaning the bath. This was tricky, so I considered getting IN the bath, turning the shower on and cleaning it that way. I then considered that I would be standing there 'in the buff' (and of course, the rubber gloves) cleaning the bath and that this would look ridiculous. To whom it would look ridiculous I wasn't quite sure, the Lord maybe as he was the only one around. It was then that I had an almighty blonde revelation. THE BATH HAS TAPS!! NO WAY !!! As far as I am concerned the bath is a shower, as I so rarely get to have a bath! It made the job so much easier.

I then cleaned everywhere else which wasn't nearly so eventful, and now I think I might make the neighbours some chocolate brownies... What a busy day!

Oh as an interesting aside, I saw a van today which amused me... It said "Chicken suppliers UK" I was seriously intrigued... Then, "Fresh chicken, cooked chicken, ambient products, blah blah blah" Ambient products for chickens?!?! What are they? Mood lighting for thighs?! Funky tunes for drumsticks?! I feel a photoshop challenge coming on. Please email me your photoshop representation of "Ambient products for chicken/s" . It can be a sketch, photoshop manipulation... Whatever!
