    Afternoon all

    No washing done today because DH has finally put my new washing line in, only six months after we bought it. I started nagging yesterday afternoon and purposely didn't do any washing today. He was a bit evil for a while but got over it and it's done. So tomorrow I can hopefully dry my washing on a line that's not six inches too short (where the metal snapped off last summer) and leaning way over to one side!

    I cleaned the living room yesterday so I've just tidied up today and done all the usual cooking and washing up etc.
