Housedom
Today, I have demonstrated how house-wifey I am. Having worked through the required reading for next week (except the full books, which we just won't go into) and the house being empty, I decided the best thing for me to do would be to clean my room. The hoover is absolutely impossible to use, and I think it's been designed for a 5 year old to use, because the attachment hoovery bit is so short that you have to stoop whenever you use it :( However, after stuggling with hoover demons and with a little bit of help from my friends (aka Mr Sheen and Mr Duster) I got by.
On the way down the stairs to take the hoover back to the creepy creepy cellar, I realised the bathroom hadn't been cleaned either. I couldn't plug the hoover in (what a shame) because the nearest plug point was in Isa's room and she was out, but instead I broke out the bathroom cleaners and washed out the sink, the bath, the shower, wiped over the mirrors and cleaned the toilet (which, trust me, needed doing :/).
I continued downstairs with the hoover and realised that the lounge floor had loads of bits all over it. So, back to the "trusty" (ahem) hoover, and 10 minutes later, the floors and mat were clean, the sofas were tidied and the room generally made nicer.
Getting closer to the cellar, I realised the kitchen floor was dirty too. Out came the hoover again and the floor was cleaned. I then realised the sink area and hob needed going over, so they got cleaned as well.
You think that would be enough, wouldn't you? Well, noticing a pile of my washing on the table, I decided to iron all of that as well.
I really am a bit sad, aren't I?
And you know what, I think this confirms it:
Not only did I notice it, I AM able to read it. I think this speaks volumes :'(
The fish send their regards. They say:
"Today, we were swimming about happily, and then suddenly that person who keeps giving us food swirled this weird stick around in our water. We tried to get a look in but she made sure that we couldn't get near it. It really sucked. And then later on, we had this weird liquidy stuff put in our water as well. Smelt a bit funky, but not as funky as our water (but it's cool, we like it). Apart from that, not much else going on today. We weren't able to get up to much because the Feeder was in all day, but tomorrow we're planning some crazy shizzle. Hope we get fed soon! xxx"
