Domestic Bliss

Warning - Instrument of Torture Images enclosed ..



Well that's what my sister (bless her) exclaimed when she saw this appliance fixed up in my study the other day ..



So here is B modelling her domesticity and also her new jamas that her dad got for her ..


It's actually a Charlton thing - with no red on it ... strange but true!



















And yes, this is me, hoovering the patio today!





















I don't look all that ill, do I!?!?!?!?!

Well does Julie know what a ironing board is, she probably thought it was a long table for a Barbi Q.
You both look O K doing your chors today.
Keep smiling lots of love L M xxxxxx

Hi. Hope you feel as well as you look. No you don't look ill at all on pics. I can see you haven't lost your 'vim'. Is that the right word?
I'm glad to see B getting down to it. Also you've swopped the mowwer for t' hoover. It won't work duck, as they say in t' Potteries. Haha. Take care now & don't go hoovering that grass. Lots of love. Cousin Pauline xx

All that talk of low cut tops and cocktails will just blow the blood vessels completely.

Now then I'm with Julie on this one... what on earth is that contraption that B is looking so delighted with? xxxxx

B's delight is all to do with novelty - like my darling sister she's not over-acquainted with ironing boards!

Actually it's delight with her new jamas .. she's got a matching dressing gown as well and she is reluctant to get dressed this week!

Poor wee soul, she obviously specialises in supporting lame duck teams! Stoke and Charlton, she is a glutton for punishment.

Your hoover photos have just reminded me I need to empty mine, my cleaning lady does not seem to know how to do it!

We are saving up for some of those rubber gloves with fur round the cuffs for you.

B is obviously trying out "the appliance of science"

Big hugs Ruby n Roxy XX

Hmmm - B seems to have a better idea than you do what being a domestic goddess actually means. Posing around pretending to hoover the patio doesnt cut it!

but I really WAS hoovering the patio!

we've had that hedge done, as I think you can testify, and there were a few igbta about the place .. anyway start worrying if you see me raking the carpet , OK!

suze said...

btw - the little mower can't believe no-one's admired her jamas, and even more shocked that the only comment her team draws is the accusation of lame-duckery

"DAD" she cries "Where are you?"

Poor wee soul, tell her Roxy is sticking up for her! She thinks she looks lovely in them.

Perhaps I need some CA pj's to improve my chances of scoring! hee hee

Brigid move away from the torture contraption save yourself and your lovely PJ's before it all goes nasty.
Whilst I'm here I need to break it to you Sue that whilst you certainly don't look 'ill' in the physical perspective you may be sending out some concerning signals on the mental health front. Infact whilst my knowledge about domestic things is limited my knowledge about Sectioning under the Mental Health Act is a little more robust. Take it from me Sue it ISN'T usual to Dyson your garden or patio. I feel I may need to come back (complete with relevant paper work)

OH dear your sister is a cheeky monkey Susan.
Brigid your pyjamas are great and Im pleased to see someone else in the family knows what a iron is for.
Hope you had a nice time with Mark tracy and Luke today,must say its been very wet here all day.
Bye for now just going to empty the dishwasher, lots of love L M xxxxxx

funny enough, Tracy took on more ironing today - bless her. Meanwhile our Mark opines that he's not done any ironing since his au-pair days in Belgium .. so that's at least one thing the three siblings have got in common.

Oh Julie, you'd be welcome back, paperwork or otherwise .. tho you are VERY cheeky!

You really do have a look of Emma Thompson about you.

We all enjoyed seeing you and Brigid this week.

Your domestic goddess's meal was scrumptious as always.

And the trawl of the Wedgwood and Spode factory shops was time well spent. I suppose the journey was like a slow boat to China. Bone China that is. Anyway, being together was the important fact.

Tracy is speedy with that iron isn't she? I leave her to it! I had far more fun scrambling up ladders with Brigid.

lots of love
