Cinderella And The Useless Sisters

SWMBO dropped me off at the van hiring emporium where I was meeting her half brother.
Back at the MIL's flat it was all hands to the pump to load the van with stuff for the dump.
Then it was into town with a van load for the charity furniture warehouse.
While we did that carpets were lifted, curtains and blinds taken down.
Another load for the dump (carpets, cooker and the last of the rubbish) leaving only the big items to be delivered to the fringes of the family.
And none of this done by the 3 lazy sisters (one of whom failed to even turn up and another who didn't even take her coat off).

So then it was back home with a buggered back and a run to our local dump with a worn out chair and a well past it bookcase which I have now replaced with a reclining chair and a nice (fairly modern) yew cabinet.

So now I am sitting with a large gin listening to SWMBO on the phone making arrangements to collect and deliver a mother & daughter from the station on the day of the memorial service. That could be a fun afternoon for me ...... the mother & daughter hate each other and try not to speak. They are even travelling on the same train but not together - one using 1st class and the other cattle class so they don't have to see each other.

Where is that gin bottle? - I need a refill.
