Just be careful with that dresser going in through the front door, will yer. It was my nan's. Removal men - don't you just luv'em? Ethel told me I should move here - said they were a really friendly bunch. Now then, funny old thing moving to London from deepest Wales. Hope the neighbours are friendly as Ethel said. I seen some curtains twitching already and I think they've never heard of blue bags round here. Proper grey looking they are. Where's me pinny? Better get the kettle on.

'Ad is eye on the fish paste pot since I opened it last month. caught 'im lickin' the lid a couple of times I did 'an all. Fancied some I suppose ta go wiv the dead mouse 'eed just brought in. OOOevers got some pickled onions 'andy, bring 'em round to mine.....the more mature the better....me nose is a bit stuffy an' I need ta clear it. Mildred x

Well now, I got my kitchen shipshape. Time to roll me stockings down and put me feet up. I 'ad some gin somewhere - perhaps a small snifter'll set me up for the evening. I wonder when my other half will be back. He come here to start a new job in lingerie design. Says he'll be out late most nights testing prototypes. Think I'll open the front door to let some air through. This place hasn't been aired for months.
