Have been doing more laundry now waters is on and have dinner cooking in the Remoska for when DH and DD decide to return. I now have to get a load in from the line and fold and fold another lot from the dryer (it looked like rain but didnt).
Right more to do and I need to put the hoover away before it injures someon as the cable is trailing not just across the downstars floor but down the stairs as well.
