What a week!

First of all, apologies for the lack of posts this week, it's been a hectic week at work and at home.

I started a new job a couple of months ago (I'm going to keep it quiet what I do) and I really like it.  The team of people I work with are really nice, easy going people who work damn hard and complain so little.  When I started I was told that every day is different.  In other jobs this is just something you're told that's rarely true.  Not so with this one.

This week I have visited four sites I had never been too, played spy by having to drive around observing a bus driver, read up on the terms of a contract and ran a very successful (if I do say so myself) focus group.  Never have I ever been able to act like a spy and be paid for it!!!

Things at home have been busy as well. 

We've been out on a couple of more dates.  Seems like a silly thing, but it's amazing the wonders it can do for your relationship.  We've always been close as a couple, but this week it feels like we've managed to get even closer, it's lovely.  At the start of the week we went to the wonderful Bottelinos for dinner.  It's five minutes walk and the food is to die for.  And they do the best bottle (yes, always a bottle) of Pinot Grigio that I've ever had.  Well worth the money!  The second date was just a quick bite to eat at a Wotherspoons one night after work.  Cheap, cheerful and relaxing!

But the biggest thing that has consumed our household over the last couple of days is fleas!  Disgusting little blighters.

Despite Millie being a house cat, she has picked up fleas from somewhere.  Not quite sure how the hell this has happened, if anyone has any thoughts then PLEASE leave a comment, but it has taken over everything.  As David is at work, I've been doing the housework.  And I think I might have taken it a bit far.

Apart from treating the cat for fleas, which hasn't worked so we need to do it again on Tuesday with a different product, I spent FIVE hours on Friday boil washing bed clothes and towels, bleach washing every surface the cat can possible get on to, and a few she can't, and hoovering everywhere.  Repeatedly.

Yesterday morning I was hoovering at 8am.  The neighbours weren't happy but David slept through the whole ordeal.

And we both have phantom itches when in the living room.  I've read about this online and apparently it's quite common, but man is it annoying!  Through it all Millie has looked a little perturbed at us doing the extreme cleaning and annoyed that I'm brushing her fur all the time. 

Please tell me I'm not the only person whose gone to this extreme? 

Oh, and the other thing that's happened this week is we've started properly talking and planning our Civil Partnership, but more on that little event another time!
