Moving: Cleaning the Flat II

Nov 28, 2007 09:30

It's Wednesday and I'm done with one room. That doesn't bode very well for finishing on Friday, as I was hoping. It looks as if next Friday may be more realistic. I'm going to call the council and ask if I can reschedule the pick-up of my mattress for next Thursday. If I'm going to be here a while still, I will need something comfortable to sleep ( Read more... )

Paying someone to do the cleaning is not an option? We did that the last time we moved, and it was so worth the money (and at about £180 for a 50m^2 flat it wasn't all that expensive either).

I looked into it but it didn't seem worth the money because they don't do anything about any minor blemishes they find.

For instance I just discovered that when the St Luke's people carried out my furniture, they damaged the paint in the hallway. I wouldn't have noticed that if I hadn't cleaned the woodwork myself. I have some leftover paint so I'll try and see if I can mend it. That way I won't have to pay for the landlord to paint the hallway again.

Right now I'm leaning toward simply taking the time it takes and go to Cheltenham on Friday. It's not like I've got anything else I need to do. I'm just moaning because I'd rather be with Kieron.
