Jacks Birthday present - house cleaning!

Woke up quite early and got ready and sorted and at 8.00am we set off for Jacks house. He wasn’t going to be in but that was the surprise!

Made good time and arrived at 10.40am and got straight to cleaning his house. 

I worked mainly in the kitchen and Tash did the rest of the house. 

Hard work!! It wasn’t “student filthy” and wasn’t too desperate but it was a mess and needed a deep clean which I think we more or less achieved for them. 

To cut a long story short we were there for 4 hours until 3.00pm. Knackered but we did make a good dent in things and cleaned it quite well. I hope both Jack and Noah are pleased with our effort. I really don’t know many parents that would do the same to be honest. 

We then made our way over to Lewis and Emily’s house and went for a nice walk. Lovely to catch up with them. Only stayed about 2 hours and when we got back from the walk we left straight away so we could get sorted at the campsite. 

And what a campsite!! We’re in the grounds of a manor house. It’s lovely. I’m typing this listening to music, Tash asleep, having drunk loads of gin and tonic and now almost a bottle of wine to myself. Back in the camping scene, gotta love it. So easy and convenient. Hopefully we will make good use of the van this summer. 

Jack sent mum a message thanking her for her work today. He and Jodie had gone to a spa locally and spoilt themselves which is great. 

Have had a nice day. Missed out on an Oxford City ex players day today though so sad about that. I’m sure I’d have enjoyed it. Ah well. Family comes first and all that!!
