Washing on the line

My wife called and asked me to hang out the washing, as the weather had turned out nice. I don't know what it's like where she is but it's blowing a gale here - not cold but very windy. Much of it was my sons bedding from last night. Now I'm no expert at hanging washing but trying to do it in a gale is something else... I did manage it though and I haven't lost anything yet.
I've told myself I'm not going to eat too much today. I have a habit of, when left on my own, eating everything I can find. It's terrible. I know the funny little tablet I'm on can induce changes in appetite so I choose to blame that. So far this morning, I have just had toast. That's quite good for me.
I find myself now anticipating the arrival of the mail. I always know the postman is near as our dog goes nuts. There was a time when I couldn't go near the mail. I had developed a fear of what it contained - due to our debts. Thankfully we sorted things out and now I'm not so bad. If I suspect there's a letter from the bank, I'll still normally leave it for my wife. Phone calls can also be a problem. We were harassed so much by our bank that we took to disconnecting the phone and even now don't answer any calls unless we know who it is. I do have separate action with the Financial Ombudsman here in the UK against one of our banks. So far they have ruled in our favor. It remains a huge problem in the UK and I'm not alone in having suffered, sadly.
