Steff and nonsense

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Thanks for all the festive messages and sorry it's taken me so long to reply to them. We’ve nearly finished with January now....never mind…

So...the big news from here is that I’ve moved house!

I’m the first person to occupy it and it’s been lying empty for about 6 months. This means that there’s about as much sand in it as there is on Bournemouth beach. There's also a bit of a plumbing issue, and by that I mean floods in the kitchen and bathroom...which in turn had lead to a small infestation of mosquitos.

I picked up the keys last week and seem to have done nothing but clean ever since. There must be a nack to it though, as the place doesn’t seem to be getting any cleaner. In the end I found a lady who has agreed to do it for me.

I dropped off my spare key with her, told her where all the cleaning products were etc etc, and she smiled and nodded and everything seemed to be going well.

Unfortunately she thought I'd said a completely different house number, a house which doesn't keep its front door locked. I don't know if she'd actually started cleaning by the time the lady-of-the-house chased her out!

I’m now slightly worried that tonight I'll find that it’s be one of my neighbours who has the sparkling pad, and mine will still be a soggy mosquito-infested sandpit.
I'll let you know...
