DEEP Cleaning

Today was a long day. It was a bank holiday, so Mike had the day off, but we didn't spend it playing. We spent the whole day cleaning. Why? Well, the house that we signed a lease for was dirty - uninhabitable, in my opinion - and our things are being delivered tomorrow. There was no way that I was going to let the movers place our belongings into a filthy house, so we spent the whole day doing some really deep cleaning. I spent four hours on the kitchen - an hour on the refrigerator alone!

We have some really great friends here in England. The Wilkinsons showed up around noon with their kids and a bunch of cleaning supplies. They worked just as hard as we did cleaning all the nooks and crannies of this house. When we were through, the place sparkled (sort of). Now it is ready for our delivery tomorrow.
