to have opened to door to a staggeringly handsome 19-year old wearing nothing but a towel?

I think not. Trust landlord to send one round to mend the boiler just when I am a bath trying to warm up....

Poor boy. He looked all afluster.

all afluster in a bad way, I mean, I could just about legally be his granny...

I thought he was the towl wearing one and was !

JamesTheCat · 07/01/2010 19:02

I thought you meant that the 19 year old was in a towel - that would have been even better!!

MadameDefarge · 07/01/2010 19:03

now that,my dear, would have been something, given the weather and all!

Is your real name Mrs.Robinson?

MadameDefarge · 07/01/2010 19:11

I wish. He's almost finished, but he is the third one I've seen over the last week. Poor old ds has been repeatedly shipped out to exp's.

lol I thought 'he is going to be very COLD in just a towel'

MadameDefarge · 07/01/2010 19:24

Off he goes! Gosh, these young people are profligate with heat! He's just whacked the heating up to something so scary and unusual for us that that part of the dial is in shock.

I am now turning it back down to tepid and popping on a warm jumper.

But at least I can reclaim ds! And do some washing...

Maybe he thought you looked cold

I too had visions of handsome man in towel on your doorstep - I'd def open the door to that.

MadameDefarge · 07/01/2010 19:49

...and another two have just turned up! Just like buses. Three days of freezing my bottom off and introducing ds to the joys of hot water bottles, and three come along within an hour...

How marvellous

I can't wait until three 19 year olds in towels appear on my doorstep

MadameDefarge · 07/01/2010 19:57

In fact they were also 19 and gorgeous..in that Slavic/Polish/Mitteleuropean way...they must apprentice them at 12...

But no towels....sigh.

if only it was summer, you could get them to mow the lawn...

MadameDefarge · 07/01/2010 20:03

yes, nice thought, and they wouldn't look quite so peaky with a tan...( ya know, all hollow cheeked and big eyed)

I too thought that HE was in a towel - between reading thread title and reading thread I was imagining him being the neighbour, beeing locked out of his house (some how in a towel) and knocking on your door for help.

Note to self - I watch far too much TV!

rumpleteaser · 08/01/2010 10:09

HAHAHA I totally misunderstood the thread title and had the same idea as purpleheffalump!!
I thought 'no - thats not unreasable, the poor boy must be frozen!'

ThingumyandBob · 08/01/2010 11:20

OOooohhh what a nice thought??. I wondered at first if you had been treated to a birthday towel-a-gram!!!

Alibabaandthe40nappies · 08/01/2010 11:24

Oh how disapointing, a 19 year old in a towel sounds delicious!

Angelcat666 · 08/01/2010 11:52

I did read it rightly...as you in the towel. Have to admit the words and tune "Here's to you Mrs Robinson...." went through my head

MadameDefarge · 08/01/2010 12:15

thank you angel cat!

'twas most embarrassing for all concerned...I did skip off and return with several layers of clothing....

MadameDefarge · 08/01/2010 12:27

I wish. Sigh.
