" If you have removed your undergarments I will be round in 15 minutes " Fact 1.These are the actual words of a text I received yesterday Fact 2. I did not receive this text from my husband Fact 3. It was from a man Fact 4. He did come round 15 minutes later . . . .to see my Shiela's Maid Now, interestingly enough, Newly (not so) single was round a the time. She is the person who introduced me to the concept of suspending a Shielas Maid clothes drier from my utility room ceiling, so that my smalls would waft above me, instead of staring me straight in the eye ,on the inside line. I say "waft" as if they are small and flimsy enough to "waft" but that is in fact a severe case of poetic license, as my smalls ( larges) give the impression of someone having parachuted into the utility room, their chute having got caught just before they crashed to the floor !

After some sh...

The FA joined me on Saturday when GASP had chosen GAA over an evening in with woty....imagine ! Mond you he had just spent a week with me on holidays so deserved a break. The cupboard was well and truly bare, having not got around to the post hols shop so I was under pressure to produce a meal for someone who is a gourmet foodie. Thank God for GASP, as I strolled out to the garden to find large dew covered lettuces, vibrant green spinach and some scallions. I had managed to pick up a cooked chicken that lunchtime so I raided the bottom drawers of the fridge and the larder cupboard and managed to bring together the best salad I have ever made. I washed the lettuce and spinach and tore them roughly into the huge Nicholas Mosse bowl we got as a wedding present. I added the chopped scallions, some halved cherry tomatoes, the last 3 inches of cucumber and some sunflower seeds. I found a jar of artichoke hearts in oil, which I had bought some time ago in Aldi, drained them and added them on ...
