Spring cleaning is never a fun thing to do but as our house looked like it hadn't been cleaned since last spring, this is what we embarked upon yesterday. Tearing up two year old receipts, doing all our recycling since Christmas, chucking all the cardboard boxes away and generally sprucing the place up was in order. We are quite good on the essentials such as bathroom cleaning and laundry but vacuum cleaning and general house order leave little to be desired so we had a jolly good clearout. Everything is neat and tidy again and it makes living a whole lot better.

After we had finished, we had one of those meals for two from Marks & Spencer. £6 all in and it was gorgeous - moussaka, potato and carrot mash all delicately flavoured and incredibly delicious. We must do this more often as it tasted better than most restaurant food at a fraction of the cost.

There are some rather good prepared meals from them - I recall their seafood green curry, or something like that, was something I'd be happy to receive in a restaurant. Not as cheap as some Birds Eye package, but a world apart!

I suppose that's one benefit of a studio - vacuuming is a quick three-minute affair easily accomplished in a spare moment. ^_^ Not that I have very much here as yet, though that'll be changing in a fortnight, when I finally get to bring all the junk down from the former housemate's abode, and suddenly find myself with a lot less open space. ^_^;

I find vaccing takes about half an hour here, it's not a massively long job, just one of those you keep putting off.

I had M&S burger and fries today and that was delicious too - their food really is something else :)

Oh gawd, that song! I've only listened to it about a million times in the last fortnight. ^^

It is a rather brilliant song :)

I find that when it comes to house (and car) cleaning, a little and often approach is better than a desperate annual clean :)
