The challenge this week from Rochelle for Friday-Fictioneers is a lovely picture from Na’ama Yehuda. My first impression to this prompt was to think of Thumbelina and where she would do her laundry? Instead, I have gone for piece about an office party.
More stories form the group can be found HERE. Visit Rochelle for an insight to her world.

They gave Mrs Welsh a pair of woollen knickers as she constantly complained about the cold air beneath her skirt.

Doris had seen them holding hands, and Angela thought Julie looked radiant.
Should they buy new hats?
Tom, the Devil’s advocate, bought a black tie, in case Mrs Carson found out.
