Oh my how I HATE laundry!! You can do ours (there are 6 of us!!) and I'll vacuum and dust for you.
Love Actually is one of my all time favorite movies too!! I played flute and piccolo in high school too.

I like knowing more about you.
I love laundry but the house we are at has quite a small or inefficient hot water tank, so, if I do a load of hot laundry, we won't have enough hot water for everyone to take a shower. :)
