shriek

Mr McMuffin forgot to mention the solitary cheesy bug under the sink which rode out the flood rather like SPG in the 'Young Ones'. I swear the little creature had a tiny little olive branch in what passes for its mouth.

I am becoming a 1950's housewife as the second thing which went through my head was that I would have to soak the towels in a mild bleach solution and boil wash them. Exactly when did I become my mother? Actually for the sake of accuracy I have to say that my Mum only ever used bleach in the toilet. She seemed to think that bleach was for dirty people, everything else could be cleaned by scrubbing or as a last resort, boiling in a vinegar solution. I blame her for us not having a mop, in my view the floor is not clean unless I do it on my hands and knees. It never actually looks clean, mind you, but it feels clean.
