Spring Cleaning (During Winter)

As I am typing this blog now, mum should be checking in at Changi Airport!

Yes, mum is visiting her wayward son who chose to work in Sydney instead of Singapore, for the next 10 days. Matt and I are both really excited.

And then we realised we had a problem.

The house wasn't clean enough. Well, no house is ever clean enough for a visiting mother, but we felt the current state of the apartment just wasn't right for a visiting relative. Plus she is bringing her friend, who is also a mother, and that doesn't bode well for us. In fact, I feel like I'm about to become a star of one of those reality TV show where two expert cleaning ladies come into your house to tear it to pieces.

So since last week, me and Matt set out to clean the joint up to make it resemble the hotel that it used to be. Thank God we already have peripherals to make it look cosy, thanks to Keith's birthday present of 2 bedside lamps. Amazing lamps these are, no switches on them, you touch them to turn them off and on!

And so we started. First Matt attacked the toilet, while I scanned every inch of the kitchen to target my Spray and Wipe at. I must admit Matt is more of an expert cleaner than I am. All you need is to give him half an hour, he will have the toilet so sparkling clean and bright, you'd need sunglasses to take a pee. Me, half an hour later, am still deciding whether the white plates look better next to the brown cups or hidden in the third shelf to the left.

2 bottles of disinfectant and 5 bags of rubbish later, I must say we are mighty impressed with the results we've got.

Come over and have a look when you can. We are damn proud of our work!

And yes, I will a tourist impersonator in the Gold Coast until Wednesday night with mumsy and friend so don't expect much blogging. I do suspect there will be photos galore when I'm back though.....

Stay tuned.....
