Feeling down already! Now I have no hot water! Rang corgi who asked had I got heating? Today! With the sunshine! Then told me someone would call round in the next24hours?
I'm at work tomorrow? This is one of those times when I really wish my OH was still alive.
Also Cunard have now cancelled Asdod for security reasons and are spending 2 nights in Haifa instead! This means I'm trying to organise an overnight hotel in Jerusalem for maniac and myself.
I really feel very useless, helpless and incompetent , I usually manage ok but everything seems to be going wrong at once. The last straw is that a lovely dress I ordered from East is too small!angry

Bathrooms toilets and kitchens should be as spotless as operating theatres! (wish I could get my cleaner to agree, she's lovely and caring and honest but!)

Chaos follows me. When I downsized almost 12 years ago, I said I was going minimalist. hmm. I claim not to have enough storage space but the truth is that I am a hoarder. The good thing about having a Kindle is that at least I no longer hoard all the books I read!

I do have a thing for sparkling white sanitary ware - simple pleasures! smile
Kitchen sink cleaned every day.
Being a wooden floor, minimalist kind of girl, I don't have much else to faff around with!

Sanitary ware - what an old fashioned expression - now why did I use that term hmm ?

Our apartment is small compared to most and it does not take long to clean a big change from the very large house we lived in when the DCs where at home,I don't think I am obsessive about housework but do tend to keep things tidy and must have a tidy kitchen and spotless bathroom.

As there are 4 adults and two children in the household I am finding that general areas like bathroom loos and kitchen take the heavy wear and it doesn't take long for the whole place to go to rack and ruin, so have to keep on top of it.

It's only a small bathroom and if I wipe it down after showering it doesn't need a massive blitz, which I hate.

I'm no Mrs Mop!

You should see the dust under the bed! grin
