a'noon....(((SLAM!!)))...oops, sorry, tis blowing a gale here & it's freezing with it....
bloomin heck Neti you've started me orf now, I've just been & rummaged out my 'Household Management Illustrated' book. My mum obviously sent away for it c.1950, it's still got the brown cardboard wrapper....it's a hoot but she obviously didn't read it much, haha, it's almost pristine...
some quotes...
To run a house properly is an art, and a highly skilled one. The accident of being born a woman does not make one a good housewife....
Breakfast in the kitchen can be a cheerful affair if gay tablecloths are used....
Buy a good lavatory brush & take care of it. After washing, hang in the open. (would that mean the brush or yourself?)
Better don me turban & get some rugs beaten & de-mothed...oh & there are letters to write to The Lord Chancellor & a Viscount or two....how have I survived this long without knowing how to do that....?
