I used to put it on for breakfast, Mum always checked to see if I was wearing it, then whip it off after I cleaned my teeth, I hid it on the bottom shelf of the airing cupboard under the dust sheets. I also remember helping Granny put her washing through the mangle, I suppose all that I did was hinder though as it was taller, wider and at least 4 times as heavy as I was.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18406981075860636289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8953248892638598159.post-56189489015872300362014-04-09T10:01:28.470+01:002014-04-09T10:01:28.470+01:00Sounds like you had an extremely productive time! ...Sounds like you had an extremely productive time!
