because the increasingly accurately-named shove_this_job has finally gotten permission from the glorious British government to move over and live with me in my West London palace for a very very long time.

After all the stressing of getting documents together for proof and all that, it did seem like a relatively easy process. Just the nail-biting wait – and we paid an extra $100 for an expediter to get an express service too.

Still, now I have three or so weeks to turn my bachelor West London pad into a place permanently fit for a Queen. so that means out with the old rotting food and the decade-old mattress, and in with a new one. Although she likes it soft and I like it hard (fnarr fnarr) so I guess this means we’ll have to compromise!

What else do I need, besides lots of new coathangers and Lush soaps?

I'm so happy for you guys :)

When I moved in with Marc I bought welcome mats and rugs to place by the front door, new towels that matched and had no holes, matching dishes, and fabric softener.

I think if you just clear out half of the storage space in the place and give her your charge card, it should work :) Seriously, she might want to pick out this stuff herself, it is her home now too. And hire a cleaning woman to scrub the place down, its just easier.

DO NOT buy her shampoo and conditioner, every woman has her own preferences.

I'm loathe to hire a cleaning woman, since that seems soooo middle-class and rather du jour for media Londoners... but I may have to resort to that...

Since when is having a clean toilet middle class? We're all hard working people and have other things on which to expend our energy. Pour some cash back into the community and have someone give the place a good scrub... Even if it is just this once. The person/people will be more efficient and do a better job than you - would you hire a writer to clean your kitchen floor??
