wash day....










....something is afoot this week in our abode,something which means that we need to do a major post Spring clean,....either that or we need a miracle as our poor home has been sorely neglected of late!
If I didn't want to offend your senses I would offer up pictorial evidence to back me up,the little piles of life heaped up in each room,spilling over onto unswept boards and bitty carpets! The abandoned car boot treasures with nowhere to go,shoes cast aside in doorways,surfaces powdered with volcanic dust,boxes,bags,broken toys and as for the ironing!! I have never claimed to be a domestic goddess,but I did once at least try...I feathered my nest most prettily,even if I did sweep crumbs under the mat and fill cupboards full of strays...now,well the nest is pretty messy and we are all of a jumble,since mum became a working girl! But today we made a start,much noise has been made as all the appliances whirred and whizzed and we toiled in our labours,without a thought for those vintage housewives who struggled with their carpet sweeper and dolly tub! I think we may have skimmed the surface...but Thursday is just around the corner,and as Thursday could be the start of something special,I for one am still hoping for a miracle and looking for an empty cupboard!!
