Cleaning The Old Apartment

Whoever invented moving must have decided to add insult
to injury, because once I moved, I had to go BACK to my
old apartment and clean it to get (most of) my deposit
returned to me. Just how I wanted to spend my afternoon!
These are a few of the bottles and jars of cleansers I've
accumulated over time; there were actually MORE if you can
believe it. And I think all I used, for the most part, was
the green stuff. And "scouring bubbles" for the tub. Oh,
what joy!

But -- what kind of PaD-er would I be if I didn't pause,
look at the scene, and decide "at least I have a subject for
my PaD!"

I'm doing all this s*** right now! I hate it!

...and further insult to injury is that you had to move the cleaning supplies !!!
Susanne08-Jan-2005 07:55
Would it not be scary if you would not have any cleaning supplies. I had a neighbour ones and I think she thought that her house would clean itself! I hardly ever visited her, you can imagine why. Well, clean up today and enjoy your new place tomorrow!

You seem to have useful skills :-)

Oh my goodness, so many cleansers, so little time, LOL. As I said before, better you than me!! ;-)

It's almost an insult, isn't it. Busting for weeks getting your stuff boxed and ready to move, break your back and nerves on moving day, THEN have to go back and make it spotless so the painters can paint the walls for the next tenents. I hate moving, passionately.

You know Gary, a packet of Bicarbonate of Soda will do all the cleaning jobs that these multiples will do, LOL !!

OMG you are out of Windex :^)

Great shot GW. And that is why I'll never move ;0

With all that cleaning stuff you're either the cleanest person in the world or the messiest. Thought perhaps you were fumigating.

Ugh, I can sympathize, Gary. We moved my daughter into a student ghetto apartment this week and what a filthy mess that was. We spent two nights scrubbing everything from the toilet to the kitchen sink. Whoever lived there before didn't believe in cleaning.

My sympathies, Gary ... but if it's consolation, now you can go and clean the NEW place!
Doesn't moving just suck!
