A day in the Life of Nanny Mary
A page from Mary Chattoway's Diary



Monday 4th August:
Today is washday so I had to be up before 4:30 to sort the children's Dirty washing. I know it's not really Allowed but I've put a few of my own garments in the pile as master Edwin keeps soiling my aprons with his sticky fingers I'm running short of them and I wouldn't want to show up Mistress Margaret. A filthy Nanny is frowned upon.
The Water was already hot by the time I'd got the Dolly tub and peg out, The Housekeeper Mrs June must have started her work early today too. My Poor arm's I only just managed to get the washing done and hung before the children were to be woken (my own fault i washed more of my own garments than I had intended).
Took Breakfast up to the Nursery for the children, It was lovely breakfast of Warm bread, Eggs and Kippers , I'm Allowed to eat at the table with them as Master Edwin always refuses to eat his kippers ( Doesn't realise how lucky he is we could never afford such luxuries). Eliza is such a sweet child tried to dress herself this morning as Edwin was tearing around the nursery refusing to put on his short trousers, I can't wait till Edwin is older and not such a handful.
Managed to get the children downstairs in time to wave goodbye to their Father before he left for work.
Thank goodness I remembered to put out the slate and Slate board in the Nursery after breakfast as The Governess (Eliza's teacher) was earlier than the 10 o clock we were expecting. I left them and took Edwin to the park he's so boisterous and needed to run off some of that energy (also the governess is so stern and dislikes him distracting Eliza). I wonder if My little brother Hubert was anything like Master Edwin when he was this age. ( I hope at least the money I send is enough to keep him well fed and Educated). When it was Nearly Dinnertime I took Edwin home and changed both the Children for dinner Mister and The Mistress always like to eat a civilised dinner with the children. So I was Dismissed until they have finished., I sat in the Kitchen with Molly (cook), and Mr and Mrs June (Gardener and Housekeeper) We had a lovely dinner of vegetable Stew. Molly's cooking is the best I've ever tasted she promised she would teach me a recipe on my next day off.
Time to ready the children for bed, just enough time for a few games and a story before tucking them in for the night.

This. Is. Incredible!!

I am stunned, Charliimai. This is such a beautiful and detailed gift - so thoughtful and delightfully done. Someone must have told you that I love history. Thank you SOOOOO much! WOW

Haha - I am just sitting here with my jaw dropped onto the desk.

Charliimai

I'm So happy you like it. It has a lot of CC from the Sim's Resource. I will list them for you Tommorow I've got to put the kids to bed. I have run them through custard and play tested the family briefly. (so although they are supposed to be rich they're not Sorry. I ran short of time Rl issues). Have a great day

SamiKat

Oh, I will make the adjustments and I love cc. I may already have quite a bit of that, especially if it's historical. I will make them rich, but I will definitely focus on Nanny Mary so she can have success as a chef and maybe a little romance, heehee. She looks like she deserves it!

It is such a special gift for samiam! Each of the sims are very nice! Very nice background details that you have written for them and great traits to suit them. Their outfits that they are wearing are very nice. Very nice recolouring. The pictures of them are very nice. You have presented them so very nicely in this thread too! The family trees and the diary letter are great!
It is a very nice gift!

The Highmore family Bio

Margaret is the only surviving child of Elizabeth and John Godwin. Her older sister Bessie and her younger sister Myrtle died of Cholera when she was 16, from that moment onwards her parents pandered to her every whim as they felt they were blessed to still have her. By the time she was 20 she was unbearably spoilt, Rude and Snobby. she attended all of the High society parties it was at one such event that she met Clarence Highmore and they started courting. Clarence Highmore was an aspiring politician but with no money he was finding it difficult to advance in his career. An orphan from Foundling Hospital Orphanage His ambitious nature and charm saved him from the workhouse. He attended the NaeSmith Gala looking for donations and met Margaret, instantly realising who she was he set about wooing her. He knew she was the only heir to the Godwin fortune. And she was madly in love. They eventually married much to Margarets parents delight and moved to their own home nearby. where Clarence continued to work on his career and Margaret gave him 2 children and continued to her high society lifestyle.

The Chattoway family Bio

Mary is the oldest child of Gilbert Chattoway a poor Mine worker
Married to Mary Anne Hough and with child. Unfortunately a difficult labour and heavy Bleading led to the death of Mary Anne and the second baby they were unaware she was carrying. Mary survived and was named after her mother. Devastated by his loss gilbert moved back home ( to his parents house) he worked hard day and night while Mary was cared for by his mother. Her untimely death coincided with his own ill health caused by the many years down the mine. He had to give up work so Mary aged 13 had to go to work. The Godwin factory was close by so she took a job there as silk lace folder. she befriended an older lady called Georgina who eventually became her stepmother and they worked alongside each other. A year later her brother Hubert was born but with another mouth to feed their combined wages were not enough. Mary took the post of nanny that was advertised in the factory for the owners daughter. At 15 years old She left her family and new baby brother and went to live at the Highmore estate. Sending home a large part of her wages every month.
