The milkman (yes, we still have one) comes for payment on a Friday afternoon. This is fun for my mum. Why? Well, every one leaves the money with my mum.
The woman across the street goes to a book club on a friday. She and my mum are friends so my mum takes her money and milk.
The couple next door work so my mum does the same for them.
And the old man next door goes to his daughters to babysit on a Friday, so my mum does the same for him and the guy upstairs is at work so my mum does that for him too.
Fridays are chaos. On the Morning we have people knocking with money and then on the afternoons knocking for their milk. Its fun though.
Its nice though that we live in a street where people help each other and there's a sense of community. A lot of places dont have that. A lot of people dont know their neighbours and I think that is sad.
