Two loads of washing done. Need to book an ironing collection now, and make myself call up about the utility room and garden as I keep putting it off

Lol - I would say I'd go and lob a brick through their window but someone'd take the threat seriously...they have lots of offices round here - transferred up from the smoke in the 60s and my house (and those roundabout) were built for RM employees. Had I been a little less snobby when I left school I could've been a high-up there by now!
Been for milk. DS has rolled in - ice cold and wet through!
