Spring Clean

Good lord. I have spent a day and a half fully gutting my room and cleaning. Good thing my actual job isn't being a cleaner right...right?...shit.

This house we rent is properly damp. It's got terrible insulation, the seams on all the windows are rotting and the roof has a leak. So needless to say there's quite a bit of mould about and it can really get the jump on you if you're not paying attention. Which I haven't been doing in my bedroom if I'm honest. I do a cosmetic sort of clean on it often because I'm a messy person by nature. There's always something on my floor and usually I just let it build up and up until it gets to a point where it annoys me and then I clean. Because of the theatre stuff I just haven't bothered doing even that to be honest so it was a bit of a state. But then it had also started to smell. Just mould and wet and not nice. So I figured I would do a full on spring clean on my days off and by George I did. 

We went and bought a load of cleaning stuff post work on Tuesday and I was going to start it the Wednesday but I got a bee in my bonnet as I am prone to doing. So I started it after dinner on the Tuesday. Pulling out my bed and everything, it was pretty grotty behind it. I don't know how often people pull their furniture out to clean but I don't do it ever usually..which I know is kind of gross but I bet I'm not alone. So there was a lot of mould and more dust and I absolutely beasted it. Then it got to a point where I was like sod it, that's enough..and as usual my plans went to hell as I couldn't be bothered doing it on the Wednesday either! So it was Thursday's problem and I tackled that bitch straight on! I literally woke up rather late, had a dinner of soup and a gluten free ciabatta (I wish they could make bread stuff that doesn't have the consistency of stale) and cracked on! And I basically haven't stopped. Apart from for a green tea break with a snack of a gluten free cereal bar and jaffa cakes.

I think I have kept within my calories for the day because aside from a few grapes and my tea that's all I have eaten. Only thing was, tea was (gluten free again) pasta and I had a big old portion of it. So probably a little over my 700 calories but I have also exercised as well as being on the go all day so I should be fine. My stomach has behaved today..I don't know if it has anything to do with the decaf coffee..I missed out on having one today and it was fine...but I don't know. I think I'm grasping at straws at this point.

Right my fingers are about to fall off I am so cold (and only wearing a towel again so I may actually go put on some pjs before I freeze to death..). Wind is whistling through these crappy windows. I swear, I am on the cold side of the house too so it just doesn't warm up at any point during the day.

I'm going to go get a brew and maybe an apple and have myself a relaxed sort of an evening. I have very much earned it! 

Good boo.
