Looks like the day is nearly over, I didn't sleep very well and was awake between 01:00 and 06:00 with loads of tea and biscuits in between and didn't get up until 10:00.
Put the washing on and had breakfast, sometime later the washing machine stopped, but it did not spin, so put it on a spin cycle, but again not spin, rearranged the clothes, but again no spin.
Now there was not too much in the wash, but I thought I would split it in to three lots and wrung them by hand, the first lot was underwear that was OK and got up to full spin 1600 RPM.
The second lot had to do that twice, the last lot towels ect got up to full spin after 5 minutes of peeing around.
This machine Hoover which I've had for 4 years now has never been the best at spinning and this is not the first time I've had problems, I have bedding tomorrow if that plays up I think I will have to look for a replacement.
Had fish fingers and chips today
with out mushy peas 
all down the bad management, lessons will be learnt next time I go shopping.

I'm sure you doCheek. I look very fetching in pj's and green wellies I'll have you know
I'm just worried about what image he has in his brain
Another walk to Wimborne this morning. Popped in to the bakers for a granary sourdough loaf and a couple of very large cinnamon swirls 😁 The bakery is very popular, they have wood fired ovens and their breads are excellent so there’s almost always a queue. Treated myself to an OXO brand potato masher, We’ve got a few of their branded utensils and they’re well designed. Walked back instead of jumping the bus, just over 15k in total and my feet were getting sore over the last couple of k’s
Near the sea. Can't put a price on that imo......nice result.Thanks Mo it sure is, the stress of wondering if my roof was going to blow away was wicked. I havent seen it yet but should be ok and its only a couple of hundred yards from the sea.
I can send you some of Welshie in her bloomers..
Small charge of course.

Read through that several times and sad to say I think you have a serious problem.Looks like the day is nearly over, I didn't sleep very well and was awake between 01:00 and 06:00 with loads of tea and biscuits in between and didn't get up until 10:00.

Just watching the new series of Jack Teacher on Amazon. It's quite good and the new Teacher is better than Tom Cruise
