Thanks for asking about Mrs snowcap,she is comming on fine,limping around and still in quite a bit of pain with it. It was your suggestion that a robot would be a good idea for the washing ,drying and ironing ,plus the fact that i had just come in from a good night out with the lads that prompted my reply, i just felt like a robot after doing the washing and ironing for the first time in the last 50 years, but its back to normal now (fingers crossed) now I'm back to my seances i may have to rethink my offer. lol
