2014 Gratitude Journal - Day 67
Day 67 - Today I am grateful to have had a very productive AT HOME day. I have managed to stop procrastinating and have spent most of the day getting all our accounting work up to date. Thank goodness because the end of the financial year is hurtling towards us very quickly! I felt so energised by what I have achieved today that I then went and had a HUGE tidy in one of the bedrooms. So feeling pretty happy tonight :)

A letter I needed to write but will never send
Dear Tenancy Manager Lady,
Thank you so much for showing me the error of my ways. Without you I never would have realised where I was going wrong.
I thought that being a busy mother of 5, a supportive wife, volunteering for 2 charitable trusts, having 2 part time jobs and keeping my home fairly tidy would be considered doing okay!
WRONG! I am obviously supposed to be a domestic goddess too.
You told me when you came to inspect the house the first two times that the "house looked wonderful and it didn't need to be perfect"
WRONG AGAIN. The last time you came it wasn't perfect. Thanks for the list of 10 things I need to improve on.
The Property Manager seemed very happy when he came back 10 days later even though I had only done 3 of the things on the list.
Because of my experiences this year I have learnt the following:
- I never ever want to be in the position of not living in my own home ever again
- It ticks me off having a complete stranger poking through my bathroom cupboard
- That in property management, reasonably tidy means PERFECT
- That I never want the sort of job you have, where you go into someones home and look for people's shortcomings
- I didn't realise that property management included parenting advice
- That I know that I am not a very tidy person and actually that's who I am and I would rather give my time to other people than live in a show home!
So thanks for the education. I've learnt a lot this year.
Kind regards
Anthea
P.S. I will be the judge of what is an acceptable time of day for my teenagers to get out of bed.
P.P.S. Sorry - sarcasm runs in my family :)
