DOWNLOAD EBOOKHi, I'm so glad you're here!Grab a cuppa and a comfy chair and let me tell you about Marmalada Mouse's everyday adventure. She began life as a downstairs person, living with the Burjanavetti family on the main floor of their house. But, after she was no longer new and the children had outgrown her, she was packed in a box and taken to the attic where she joined other throw-aways. As it turned out, they all managed to make a life for themselves up there in the rafters, but Marmalada Mouse just couldn't get downstairs out of her mind. She missed living among bouquets and paintings and decorations and furniture arrangements. So she set a goal to make her own "downstairs" right there in the attic. And in her attempts, she discovered some very important truths: 1) A goal without a plan can get you into a jam.2) Then it takes a plan just to get out of the jam.3) But, even when you do the right things, things don't always turn out right.4) Nevertheless, doing right becomes its own reward and it opens the door to life's good surprises.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA compelling and colourful memoir that takes the reader inside the forgotten world of domestic service. Arriving at the great houses of 1920s London, fifteen-year-old Margaret's life in service was about to begin... As a kitchen maid - the lowest of the low - she entered an entirely new world; one of stoves to be blacked, vegetables to be scrubbed, mistresses to be appeased, and even bootlaces to be ironed. Work started at 5.30am and went on until after dark. Yet from the gentleman with a penchant for stroking the housemaids' curlers, to the heartbreaking story of Agnes the pregnant under-parlourmaid, fired for being seduced by her mistress' nephew, Margaret's tales of her time in service are told with wit, warmth, and a sharp eye for the prejudices of her situation.
