Open for Business

Today we had the dubious pleasure of going to collect some equipment we are renting for the party. The assistant seemed a little surprised that Grumpy had just had the Grumpymobile completely cleaned inside and out just before filling it up with dusty tables etc.
The real reason was so it would be spick and span for the latest arrivals at the Hotel Decent. It just meant hauling six seats out, cleaning it, bringing the equipment home, then putting all the seats straight back so we could head off for the airport.
Sometimes I wonder why anyone wants to stay with us. We either have them lifting furniture, catering or making giant fruit baskets. They're usually so exhausted by the end of their stay, they can't wait to leave.
Just hope they know what they're letting themselves in for...
