Advice from fellow Old Blues... on cleaning costs?

[kerrensimmonds]

Dear all
Just to thank you for your support and guidance! With just a couple of panels still needed for my kitchen, everything is now done.
The £90 cleaners went through the whole house like a whirlwind yesterday and I have 'moved back' into the kitchen. The entire place looks and smells pristine - as well as somehow emptier and tidier. I had forgotten how, in those 2.5 months, I had been systematically throwing things out - it really shows now! Wonder how long it will stay like that?
And, after several arguments, I did eventually get the insurance company to contribute £45 towards the £90 for cleaning - I did not have to have their blokes with thick rubber gloves lifting and cleaning my ornaments!

I'm pleased to read that you are satisfied with the outcome Kerren.

Good to read your news, Kerren. I can now look forward to my visit next month!!

Sounds like a 2nd housewarming is called for.

Please accept my apologies for absence - I don't like driving on a bellyful of beer.

Enjoy it before you have to start cleaning the whole place again.

Thank you David I will (enjoy it before it gets dirty again!)....
I am actually looking forward to going home from work tonight - in the last 2.5 months I have been staying on at work, putting off the evil moment of walking through my front door into what has felt like a rubbish dump. And from banning visitors (even family), I can't wait to have people to stay again.. so I am looking forward to seeing Katharine next month. I will try and keep it nice until then, anyway.
A housewarming would be a good idea.. but the trouble is one has to clear up afterwards.....and its an awful long drive from the South of France to the South of England...

Glad to hear it's all up and running smoothly again, Kerren.
