We moved last month, from a house I'd cleaned to within an inch of its life (which has been acknowledged by the lovely new owners). But the house we've moved into ... another story. Doggy smelling carpets, sticky worktops, tiled floors which when I mopped them turned the water black, filthy light switches, sockets and extractor fans. No instructions left for any built in appliances or the burglar alarm. The décor looks as if their grandchildren did the whole house in a day. And much, much more. Still, the 'bones' of the house are good and after a long-awaited (booked last February) holiday we've set to rectifying all the problems. It'll take a while though!
