Well the ironing board has arrived, and stored upstairs safely without prying eyes seeing it. Touch and go mind you, it arrived at 3.20 instead of before 2.45 (latest time in the delivery slot). I was in the hall with my coffee playing with new kitten, (I also had the inner door open so it didn't buzz when opened). I thought he'd finished his coffee early and gone back to the garage to finish something he was making off. He hadn't and when I eventually went into the kitchen after delivery many had gone he was stood washing his cup.
All I can say is thank goodness he is deaf, and won't wear his hearing aid at home during the the daytime because it uses too many batteries!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
