blanket

 the crisis of the last few days is cos i thought i would be helpful and put a bunch of stuff in the washer - including a chenille blanket that my mum had bought me but had got a bit dusty. dopey head here forgot it was dry clean only. it's disintegrated all over the other washing, all over the house, all over the balcony. and the dust is making us wheeze. so we keep cleaning and dusting - mercifully the helpers have taken it in good sort and have not been toooooo cross with me. another one to put in the biography :-)
