The never ending story

As a mother's day treat to myself, I bought a voucher to have my house cleaned.  I am skeptical as to how much they will actually get done in the allotted two hours but any cleaning done by someone else is better than me having to do it.  I figured this was a much better present than some smelly bath stuff I will never use.

In anticipation for the cleaning team's arrival, I decided I better clear some of the crap that has accumulated in seemingly every room of the house.  My rationale is that the less time they have to spend moving stuff out of the way, the more time they will have for cleaning.  The irony of the fact that in preparation for me not cleaning, my house is looking it's tidiest in a long time is not lost on me.
