yes pauline there were three horse sinks we shared four famileys .always cold out there .then we shared two big ugly tolets my job was to cut the news paper up into squares and hang them on the nails in the tolet .one time i cut the paper into snow flackes and nan smacked me becourse people were getting there fingers in the holes when they whipped .nan did her wash on mondays that meant bath time for me in the water she washed the dirty sheets in and every thing else .it was an old washer which we had to burn wood under there was a big copper stick that was used to swish the laundry around in if you were naughty you got bonked on the head with it .i would love to write a book about that lot over there it would be funny .
