AND JUST TO TOP...

... everything off, the washing machine has now packed up. And to make matters worse, its full of cleaning clothes that I used when I managed to spill a full carton of cream all over the floor. It's half-heartedly filled itself, but done nothing else apart from click occasionally, so we now have a washed full of cream-coated cloths that are going to smell horrendous by the time we work out how to get them out. I am absolutely fed up now.
