I only have a hankie and a dress for LO to do - I only iron if ABSOLUTELY necessary :rotfl:

I know what you mean - I iron NOTHING usually - put it all away as it is or I just end up with mountains of clothes, which is why I am determined to iron stuff as it comes out the machine/off the airer - it's my MACAW this week and I have Valli to check on me if I don't... fed up going to the cupboard and there being nothing ironed...

So am I missing something - how many holes DOES a polo have if it isn't one?

ETA - I tried again and clicked 4 which seemed to be the right answer then another question was written backwards and the answer was tennis elbow. Sorry, I haven't got any patience with it, it's all nonsense

The word POLO has 4 holes - p has a hole, o has a hole, etc, etc,. (although someones probably already told you this by now...);)

But the word polo only has 3 holes I did assume they meant the word after my first attempt, so 4 still makes no sense.

Lump of pig is in the oven, potatoes are peeled. Bread is rising and i want to sleep...
Need to go pick up the small child in a minute.

Jill - my hubbie is off to the states on Saturday for 2 weeks work - which part is yours off too? Funny if they are on the same flight.

Wouldnt that be mad if they were ??
Mine's going to Chicago, as far as I know its a direct flight, not sure which airline but leaving Heathrow about 4pm on Sat. Which is unusual, usually they fly from Gatwick at about midday and leave the house at the scrake of dawn to check in on time, and then he wakens the kids so I end up with a start to a week on my own all of us tired and grumpy cos we got up too early.
But this time none of that will happen
