In the morning me and Little Prince had to go and pick LMS up from her sleepover. I tried to get in touch with her and say could we pick her up an hour later than arranged, but her mobile was turned off and we had to rush round to get ready in time. LMS sent me a text saying the later pick up was fine, but we were almost there by then so it was a bit late!! After lunch our hairdresser arrived to re-colour Drama Teen's hair. Mr Messy had been doing it with semi-permanent colours and it has been fading pretty quickly and looking patchy. She loves having it her new colour, so we thought we might as well have it done properly with a permanent colour that isn't going to fade and will look smarter for school (who have a new headmistress and are getting VERY strict about the rules on appearance). She loved the result and it looks so shiny and feels beautifully soft :-)
Afterwards we did even more sorting out, and when it got to about quarter to five we filled up the boot with all the bags and set off for the tip and charity shop. The trouble is the charity shop closed at 4pm and the tip isn't open on Wednesdays!! Not a very productive trip really! Although we did drop off the ironing and a big bag of Bratz and Barbies with my Ironing Angel and her young daughter - who was thrilled with the Bratz/Barbies and not bothered at all about the ironing lol.
We had time for a little more sorting out before Mr Messy came home from work, and he and Drama Teen went to the local photography club. Mr Messy stormed up the stairs and started yelling at Drama Teen, she had been told to put her camera and two lenses away (they have been on the dining room table for ages) and hadn't done yet. Unfortunately one of the kittens must have knocked over one of the lenses and its cracked - a NINE HUNDRED POUND lens!!! No wonder he was cross!! No wonder Drama Teen cried!!! Mr Messy is hoping he can get the lens repaired. They made friends again at the photography club, probably because they were both whinging it was a boring meeting!!
During the evening we had a visit from a franchise cleaning company, that I'm going to employ to do a thorough deep clean of the house and then a regular clean (not sure if we'll need weekly or every other week, we'll have to see) to keep the place looking ship shape. I think the lady was horrified at how much junk and clutter we have around the place, as she admitted she is much more minimalistic at her house!! I've booked the deep clean for when we are back from Florida, so we now have a deadline to get all the clutter and junk sorted!! Hopefully that will galvanise my wayward family into getting organised!!!
