skint
Well, the wife drives it. So she was the one who killed it. Yet I have to pay.
The man has just been, installed the new dobi system, relived me of £390 and a brew and left. Even worse he was my brother, told me he was doing me a favour at the price. Why do I have to pay because the wife is too lazy to walk down to the river with a piece of soap and a basket on her head? I ask you? You give them indoor plumbing and they get airs and graces far above their station! Next she will be asking me to replace her eubank with one of them vacuum gadgets.

Re: skint
She had better start coming over with the goods now. After forking that out I cannot afford to go elsewhere unto payday.

I remembered my grandad used to refer to their old twin-tub washer as the dobi - showing your age there Tim!!

Re: skint
Sorry, spent too much time drinking Gin (for the tonic of course) on the verandas of the far east. The girl who cleaned my bungalow always called it dobi. As in it is dobi day today Mr Tim whenever she would empty the laundry basket
