An exciting evening spent scrubbing the shower curtain - I really do know how to live, don't I? The house gets in a terrible state when we're really busy, so last night I finally cleaned the bathroom- removing the skank from the tiles with an old toothbrush. You can probably guess what happened next - I put the toothbrush back in the toothbrush mug, and then ended up foaming at the mouth when I tried to clean my teeth with it (if my husband is reading this - I did then remove it before you came to bed so there was no danger of you making the same mistake). I know bleach is poisonous when taken in large doses, but I don't feel too bad today so I figure I've survived.
I've always wanted to be a domestic goddess type, with an effortlessly beautiful home to invite people back to. Instead, we live in a precarious state between chaos and almost-presentable, and I end up shoving everything into the bedroom when people come for dinner. And my Gran is coming on Sunday. Given that she described my first shared house in London as "not quite as squalid as I expected", I think we had better clean up properly as well as figuring out how to put the timer on the oven so I can cook roast dinner while I'm at church.
