I Love Vacuums

So I saw this episode of Oprah once that had people with super messy houses. They were actually perfectionists. When the mess got too big to fix, they just ignored it because what else could they do? I can understand these people. My flat was gross. Spiderwebs everywhere, dust everywhere, remnants of take out food and having people over. I mean, honestly. But I have no vacuum this year. Last year, one came with the flat (or the use of one did). This year, no such luck.

However, my boss came to my rescue and allowed me the use of a spare vacuum of his for a while. I vacuumed and the difference is amazing. I mean, a-mazing. First off, I could barely wait five minutes before starting up the vacuum. This proves I do have perfectionist in me. And I vacuumed for a solid 20 minutes. Let me reiterate that it's a small, small flat. And that was only in the lounge area. But the difference!!

I love vacuumed carpet. It just looks so nice. I know it borders on obsession-sounding here, but understand I've been in a dirty flat since January. It wasn't particularly clean when I moved in. So saints be praised, the flat is clean. And just in the nick of time. My family will be here by this time next week!
