I'm feeling decadent, dahlinks. Have just used one of those spring cleaning gangs.

[bubble99]

To clean our new house.

We're moving in on Friday but got the keys a week ago, when we arrived to find....a total mess. Dried on food on cooker, freezer containing sausages dated 2002 and other such lovelies.
Mr Bubble made weak noises about there being a lot for us to do, at which point I grabbed the Yellow Pages and called a cleaning company.
(Mr Bubble will clean, after a fashion, but is not reliable with a J cloth).
So, there you go, a few hundred quid down the (gleaming) pan but I have a shiny house to move into.
Here endeth the smug sermon.

ooh brill.
I like this idea but am such a saddo as I like housework too.

ooh how fantastic - definitely worth the money, only wish we had done it here!

where are you moving?

Petersham, foxy. Not far from Ham Polo.

ooh lovely

I shall wave at you from across the river when we go to Marble Hill

you can walk to Petersham Nursery and dine with the celebs

Bet you are really excited to be finally moving bubble.

BTW I had a cheeky peek at the house you are buying, looks very nice. (am spending far to long on property web sites these days looking for our new place

God bubble, sounds fab.
It really was a few hundred? [hopefully not emoticon]
I am moving in a couple of months and would love to do same.

I can't wait!! Only two more sleeps in this pokey flat. And I am especially looking forward to having a garden. It has been a tough few years trying to entertain the boys with trips out just for fresh air. I'm looking forward to being able to just open the back door.

Am I right in thinking that they'll be bored with the garden within a month?

we gota garden in august 2004, the kids arent bored of it yet.

it'll be great!

Actually I probably shouldn't have said that should I?!? Makes me sound like a bit os a stalker . Good job you have met me bubble or lord knows what you would think.

Pruni. What area are you in? If you're near to me I would definitley recommend this company. It's run by aussies, four of them turned up at 11am and were finished by 3.30pm. Everything has been cleaned - carpets, fridge/freezer, inside of diswasher etc. Windows inside and out, bath and showers...two showers! Ooooh Get me! descaled and cleaned. The kitchen is shining cupboards cleaned etc.

Sorry, I'm getting carried away here But it was wonderful to walk into.

Anyway, Pruni, I'll give you their name etc if you want it.

I would consider it an honour to be stalked by you, CM.

Actually am now at you moving in a couple of days , we are doing some viewings on saturday around Weybridge and have just got ours on the market this week. Much as I am desperate to move I hate the whole actual process of buying/selling.

And the estate agents have sent us the info on loads of gorgeous properties that are way beyond our price range.

We were lucky to find anything we could afford in the area, TBH. It is sooo expensive around here.

We have told the estate agents what our budget is and yet they have sent us properties with an asking price of £100,000 more than we can afford .

Ah bubble too kind - sadly we are in Oxford though.
Also poor.
Is it still as sparkly today?

Hope the move went well today bubble.

ooh Petersham - lovely

I would like to know the company Bubble, could have them round to sort our flat out before it goes on the market. we're in Whitton (Twickenham), would they come to us?

hope the move went well
