Uninvited Guests

Been a bit under the weather this week, so the weeks been a bit of a blur. The Marsdens were out for the first two days so the phones were quite busy with just me to answer them.  Elder Saunders was out of the office on Tuesday to check on a flat that was disgusting. We don’t really know how to get the message over to the missionaries to keep on top of the cleaning tasks. They just think it needs to be done on a Monday. But if they cleaned up after themselves each day then they would have more time to spend on more pleasurable thinks on their Pdays. Yet some missionaries, mainly sisters, do look after their flats. Yes it may be a little untidy but it’s the cleanliness we are concerned with. Dirty flats invite dirty visitors such as: Fleas, Cockroaches, Ants and flies. We provide chemicals to get rid of the uninvited guest but sometimes it gets out of hand and we have had to call in the pest controllers. That works but for how long, time will tell. Thankfully we keep on top of our uninvited guests and they usually stop at the doors.
Enough of my complaining let’s  get back to the happy thoughts. I did manage to get on top of everything I need to do in the office this week. Including a little bit of preparation for next weeks ‘transfer week’. I even started to organised all the hundreds of photos that have just been placed on my computer, some are already in folders but still need to be put into an ‘easy to find and get at’ folder. Plus I have hundreds of other peoples personal photos that I can just delete.
Elder Saunders tried to get on top off all his tasks but alas I don’t think he ever will because more task/problems occur daily. By the end of the week I was feeling more like my cheerful self so I was looking forward to a relaxing weekend. What did I hear you shout? “You’ll believe that when you see it. So what did we do this weekend? Read the next blog…………..
