Sofa & Oven for Pauline in Nerja

October all booked up... November already taking shape with bookings

Today was not just a long and exhausting one, but very much fulfilling with a feeling of great self accomplishment.

First job - Torrox Park - Medium Sofa clean for a repeat customer.

Second job - Nerja - Large Sofa clean for a new customer.

Third and final job - Frigiliana - Oven clean for a new customer with a possibility of returning in the near future.

One little snag though...but before I go onto the description of my "I don't chuffing believe this?!?!" moment, I want to address something that really got to me a few days ago. I had someone tell me in anger the other day after me having to cancel a job repeatedly due to problems, that they could not believe someone can experience so many problems so soon after each other...my car has been out of action 3 times in 3 months, including last week, amongst, dog being unwell several times, I've also been unwell or backs gone and a numerous of things that have hindered me over the last 2 months that I'm not prepared to list.

Well, here you go lady... after my 2nd job, a French/Belgium tourist hit my car by rolling back onto it because he poked too far out onto a junction. I was stopped behind him waiting for him to decided to turn left or right after being in the middle of the left and right lane... saw him move back....then move back some more even with my horn blowing, continued to go back into me until Crunch... so, yeah, another problem. 30 minutes of form filling, photos over a huge language barrier as they spoke neither English or Spanish and I don't speak French Belgium. But Hey! I got to my 3rd job 😁💪🏼

I've lost count of problems... they happen, cars break down, cars get hit and need paint jobs, machines break down and so do humans. We get ill, we get injured, and jobs often run over anticipated time... all of the above of which I've repeated before now. So, before you pass judgement on the amount of problems I face within a week, take a step back and consider that we all walk on different paths, in different shoes and experience different worlds. You certainly do not know mine.

Anyway, for the loyal customers and friends, check out my work and see for yourself 😁🫠👌🏼

One more thing to add... last customer was amazing. Cold drink on arrival, empathy and understanding, (this was also a customer that's had to be postponed in the past) best of all, asked what my go to music was to relax to... 90's indie on in the background for me as I cleaned the oven. Thank you so much. It made the remainder of my day. Spot on.

Could do with working on my fancy lines...

After nearly 3hrs... couldn't get this to look anywhere near perfect 😭 was a challenge though 💪🏼

Remember, we are not here to judge... we're here to see how good my work is and how soon I crumble 😆

2 oven jobs today...one took an easy peasy 90 minutes to reset it back... (Photos to follow in another post to prove that I didn't just randomly walk into someone's house and film their clean oven 😆)

The 2nd Oven....not so much easy peasy... next post

02/09/2026

Well, September has certainly gone off with a bang leaving August in the dog house... usual problems with car and dogs health, both in hand and all will be back to normal asap...BUT, 😁😁😁 My phone has not stopped buzzing since last week. That means September is close to getting fully booked. There's 6 full days left for you guys. If you don't claim them, then I will be allocating those full days to continue the work at my Dads place.

Speaking of which, I came across a post of mine from November 2019 when I was painting the same railings, and our dog as a 6 month pup decided to get involved... last week, over 6 & 1/2 years later, she did the same, sticking her beak just where I painted. I'll leave you with the photos from 2019 and last week.

Also, I'd like to add again, I will not be offering painting services or pimping my dad out as a mechanic.

As usual, August is one of quietest months for Sofa cleans. However, I've still been working away on other things in between the exhausting, burning, suffocating and humid weather 🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵. One clue will be in the picture below. ⬇️ At one point, I went home looking like I'd had a ding d**g with the incredible hulk or a rotten smurf... wasn't fun scrubbing myself in nail varnish remover with a nail brush because I forgot to sort out some white spirit. 😬😳😵🥴

It would be nice to get back to what I'm good at and where my heart is once I've completed the jobs for Dad. And No, I will not be adding painting to my services.

I have a few dates for September available even as close as next week. WhatsApp message me 633 87 52 65 for enquiries.
