DIRT. EVERYWHERE. *cries*
So me and Rob OFFICIALLY have a place.

We signed the lease yesterday, paid, and now have the keys. 
Starting to move our stuff in. 
But before we set up and whatnot, I wanted to clean, because I am a clean freak.  I don't like dirt.  I mean...I really don't like dirt.

And I don't know why I didn't notice this before...maybe it was because this place was so much cleaner than the other we had looked at...
but the place is fucking filthy. XD Dirt-tastic.  Tomorrow is going to be one big ass cleaning day.  Mum and I were going to shampoo all the carpets in the place tomorrow, but I have a feeling we're going to spend most of the day just scrubbing the place.  People are pigs, and that's all I have to say, lol. I pulled out that little shelf for pots and pans underneath the stove...there was everything you could possibly name under there.  Business cards, hershey kisses, things that I can't even identify.  Then I opened up the oven and there was litterally a blobby pile of cookie sheets and pans (I think that's what they were anyway.  They were so dirty and gross I couldn't tell.
I was about to put some of our canned food on top of the refrigerator, but stopped when I noticed the ridiculous, and once again unidentifable grime spots on top of it (seriously what the fuck WAS that), and I honestly spent probably anywhere from 30 minutes to a whole hour trying to get that off alone.  (Which I successfully did. XD)

EW.  EW.  EW

Lol Cleaning continues tomorrow.  

Another annoying bit:  When we looked at the place there was a spot where one of the windows had a crack in them.  Not broken, nothing drastic just a crack.   Landlord doesn't plan on fixing them because it's just a crack.
Which will suck in the winter as far as keeping heat in goes, but my dad and hubby said something about plastic barriers to help that.
HOWEVER.
Upon opening a different window above the sink today, there was ANOTHER similiar crack.  It's coming from the outside.  Someone must be throwing something to break these windows.  I quickly called landlord to tell them so they didn't they we fucking did it.

Lots of work but..
I AM SO EXCITED. XDDD
So tired though.  Full day of work, and then I came home to do all this...*drops over dead*

*Hugs* Maybe you could arrange a "cleaning party" with some friends and family?
You might want to take a picture of the window, so you have photographic evidence of the damage, in case your new landlord tries to stick you with the problem. It's what my dad had my brother do when he moved into an apartment that was fucking filthy. Yeah, I agree, people are pigs, and it's amazing what some landlords will overlook. When I moved out of my last place, I managed to get my full room deposit back, even though I had spilled paint on a section of carpet. But then again, I was living in a co-op, so our director probably thought of the stain as some form of "artistic expression". And I shit you not, I had a housemate who once squished a Twinkie on the wall of his room, and just left it there when he moved out. I felt to bad for the guy who moved in afterward, as he was the one who had to clean snack cake off the wall.

ROFL, I know this sounds ridiculous, but I don't really have any friends.* And I'd so rather leave my crazy-ass family out of this, lolll, they have the touch of death and ruining-things-ness. XD
(*-well friends that I associate with often, I'd feel like an ass just calling them up asking them to come clean my place, lolll.)
My mom and me should be alright, it might take a while but she's really good and FAST at cleaning (does it for a living XD), I'll probably be the one dragging ass because I know nothing of house cleaning techniques.

That's a good idea I didn't even think of that!
Our landlords seem like nice people but me and my trusting demeanor have learned that the saying "don't judge a book by it's cover" runs both ways, lol.

Oh gosh. XD That's insane, what the hell.
