Ok, So Tom has come home with a lovely young girl, she's very sweet, witty and confident......and can't breathe! It turns out she is allergic to just about everything, which isn't conducive to a pleasant stay in our house seeing as I'm hardly classified as a Domestic Goddess and we live in the country. Add that to the fact that I spend more of my time away from the house than I do in it - cleaning ISN'T exactly a priority! Throw in the fact that we have a dog (Konka the plonka) and DD ( Dare Devil) the cat, some chickens and are surrounded by cows and horses, this isn't exactly a haven for ANY kind of allergy suffer, let alone someone with ALL allergies.
Having been forced to try sleeping in the car the first night - I arranged for the girlfriend to meet up with our friendly Dr who promptly prescribed medicine, inhaler, removal of the cat from the house and a TOTAL industrial clean of the house!! Reeling from shock I managed to coax Tom into agreeing to help me and we agreed to do a splurge the next day.
Tom then decided he couldn't sleep that night (probably from the fear of having to dust) which meant - 3am sleep, 11am + awaking, hardly a full day left to clean, however, I'm easily distracted - having the attention span of a gnat, and Tom isn't much better, so here we are, at nearly 4pm, with just about 3/4 of the sitting room almost completed (if you don't look TOO closely) Tom and girlfriend off on a romantic walk to the village pond (that I'd forgotten we'd got!) and me writing an ALL IMPORTANT blog for the very first time!
I guess I'd better get going again, I'm still in my jim jams and pink polka dot "ugg" slippers, good job we live in the country I say - what if anyone popped round !
