    She's been cut some slack just now as she's injured. :D

    Doc thought she'd got a fracture but X-Ray showed nothing so being treated as a bad sprain.

    Normal service will resume shortly. I hope! :D

    I hardly ever wash my dressing gown, OH's actually gets washed more often than mine.
    However when I went to put it on at the weekend, I noticed a weird stain in one of the pockets (I think it's hamster wee :o) so it's getting its first wash in about a year very very soon!

    I have an active mind with many such questioning thoughts. (And a tediously boring life. :D)

    You're lucky I only ever treat you all to the milder ones. ;)

    I love my fluffy dressing gown but I rarely wash it. I put it on when I am dry after a bath (so it is on a clean body) or if I am cold of an evening I put it on over clothes (like a house-coat). So I don't really see how it can get that dirty.

    If it stinks I'll wash it. It is getting near to needing a wash, which will be the first time this year.
