My mum has always been a little keen on cleaning. For all those who know her, yes I know she is obsessed rather than just keen, and that she is now repeating over and over again, "I told you so", in reference to all manner of things but particularly the washing of tea towels separately, the washing of hands before and after every task, and washing parcels as they arrive in her home! I am not kidding about the washing of parcels and if you ask the MPs office they will tell you that when a neighbour took in their parcel she washed it with carbolic soap before handing it over to them!
So today mum, here is the evidence that I have washed my tea towels separately! And yes I washed them on a 60oC wash and yes I washed my hands before I hung them out and after handling the dirty ones.
...and yes I have a votes for women tea towel :-)

Now while I was in the garden I had a little look around. I watched the birds, I listened to the birds. I am in the middle of town and the birds are always here but today there is no background traffic noise. That makes me happy because the better we all are at staying in and staying safe, the sooner the spread of this virus will slow.
Then we can all go back to seeing our mum's and dad's, hearing them tell us, "I told you so" about many many things!

Some garden appreciation? And I might do a bit of cleaning and organising...maybe the book shelves or maybe the baking cupboard! My mum will be pleased.
"But mum, if I had followed your advice and done all this cleaning and organising already, what would I do now?!"
This is the teenager in me having the last word!! I win! And if we stay in, we all win. Our loved ones will be safer, our NHS will be able to manage, and we will come out of this the other side.
Stay in, tell your mum (or dad) that it is a good job you put off the cleaning, and stay safe.
Love Rebecca and all at WCM xxx
