- Ironing to put away that i have done tonight
- [/strike]
I have been to the post office and sent payment for Hampers. One more payment and i am all paid up:T now gonna start getting morrisons stamps £10 a week and asda £10 a week. Thats should give me with vouchers £950....I didn't do it last year and hated xmas this year shouldn't have any money worries so apart from the usual hustle and bustle it should be a good one.:j
I am most certainly on a role today i acheived allsorts and i am hoping now that the washing is dry so i can get it ironed so i don't have to do it tonight
Hehe at the advice Mudbath,i have told the kids they either start playing with their toys or i have a massive sale. I wouldn't mind but just before the holidays i bought a new shed as a playhouse would have been too small. Its full of toys. Bedrooms full of toys but they WERE bored until my threat.:rotfl:You can touch the dust but please don't write in it !
Would you like to speak to the man in charge, or the woman who knows whats happening?0 - [STRIKE]

I am having a break for an hour now. As Ghost Whisperer is on at 3.00pm.
Will be back at 4.00pm..........if I don't fall asleep.:rolleyes:
Any one want a HHC say 4.15 - 4.30pm?0 -
Mudbath, can you explain your "dry 10 mins and then hang"
Thanks
Hiya Vivw
I always put all the washing in the tumble dryer for ten minutes and whilst it's still hot I shake it out and hang it up. This means that the only things that need drying are a few shirts. I've got one of those dryers with 3 arms that you just hang hangers on. Hope that helps xx0 -
Thanks mudbath. What is the advantage of doing it that way?We don't need to do it perfectly - good enough is exactly that GOOD ENOUGH.0

Ok, a few more bits crossed off.
Chunky - you're so right about so many toys!!! As I read your post DD was sat watching the olympics so i've told her to go and get her hama beads or something and play with something whilst watching the sailing. She got all excited!!! Sometimes I think they just forget what they've got. When we get the caravan next year i'm going to put a lot of the board games in there as we'll be more likely to sit down and play games as we're not having a tv.

I've emptied all the inside bins ready for black bin day tomorrow. Got the washing back in because it's starting to rain a little, but it dried a bit anyway.
I sat down to watch Neighbours and as soon as the title music came on the phone rang (so I quickly pressed "record"). After that I thought I'd have a lie down because of my headache, and as soon as my head touched the pillow the phone rang again. I've given up now.0 -
Thanks again.....I thought perhaps it was to get creases out. However don't you find it shrinks somethings by putting them in the tumber wetWe don't need to do it perfectly - good enough is exactly that GOOD ENOUGH.0
