I can't believe how much Dave's family rocks.

They've done loads of laundry for us while we were without a machine; Dave's dad has chopped down a hideous climbing plant from the side of the house, installed all our major appliances for us and has fixed our lawnmower; his mum has rung me to see how my back is and can she do anything for me, and now his sister is coming to take me to the doctors tomorrow morning--as it's v.dubious whether I can make it to the bus stop and every taxi in Bristol seems to be taking kids to school at 9am--and then onto the shops for cake ingredients.

They're all bloody marvellous.

If I asked my lot for help--ignoring the fact that they live hundreds of miles away--they'd forget, bitch endlessly, ask "why?" in that horrible tone of voice they have, and just generally make me feel bad for asking. Hence I'm completely blown away by my inlaws.

Must do something nice for them when I'm better....
