The Bug Invasion....

So upon moving to Sydney in July last year, I searched high and low for an appropriate apartment, in an affordable price range. This is point where you laugh and say Sydney, affordable, what a joke!!!

Well after only a month, I found an apartment in an amazing location, 10 min drive from work and from day care. There was no mould on the walls and when i walked in the front door the sun was shining through the windows and made it feel so light and open.

Well fast forward 8 months and some new neighbours have moved in next door and with my new neighbours came some disgusting visitors.....COCKROACHES. Small brown disgusting, revolting creatures.

Seriously I may not be Martha Stewart, house cleaner of the century. My apartment may not look like it is photographed for Vogue. But i am not filthy. I never have dirty dishes in the sink, I always wipe down the benches. My floors....ok my floors aren't always immaculate. But they get vacuumed at least twice a week.

SO WHY ARE THESE BUGS INVADING MY LIFE??

So a few weeks ago, suddenly i am awoken by this thing that dropped on my face, I swat it away to realise in my half asleep state that it was an oversized cockroach, which was now crawling around my bed. I throw my pillow across the room and watch this HUGE bug fly into the wall, it then starts scurrying through my house and I chase it. With a box of tissues and a large black high heel.
YOU CAN'T ESCAPE!!!!
During this process I was attempting to be super quiet as it was only 6am and Miss A was still sleeping.
Finally I attack the bug with some tissues and grab it off Miss A's bedroom door, before it can attack her in her sleep.
DEAD. IT IS DEAD. I KILLED IT.

Anyway since that day, I have dreams, no nightmares about these filthy creatures. They invade my thoughts, I chase them around the house to ensure that they are killed. NO cockroach will survive in this house.    

I set off a bomb in my house 2 weeks ago and well it has been peaceful in this tiny sunfilled home......until tonight. When out of a gap between my cupboards and my roof comes crawling not one, not two but FIVE filthy cockroaches. Well you will be pleased to know they are no longer alive, although I am sure that Miss A is now currently high on Mortein in her sleep. But that's the price you pay for bug removal.

Tomorrow at 9am. The Real Estate will have me to answer to. WATCH OUT cockroaches....your time in this house.....IS OVER!!!!
