    I've tried to work that one out too - whenever I have had wooden pegs - they have always marked my clothes!!! Plastic ones never do that - Ive yet to phatom why anyone would rather have wooden pegs - but then, I know nothing much about the world of laundry and am clearly missing something here!!!

    I iron at little as possible and shock horror :eek: I even put my duvet covers on the bed UNIRONED!!! :D Its never done me any harm yet.

    Can some one please pick Valli up off the floor......I think she may have just injured herself....... sorry! xx

    Valli are you sitting comfortably??????? I too NEVER iron bed covers what a waste of time :rolleyes: they are all wrinkled after you have been in the bed once anyway. I hate Sunday when I have to iron OH 5 poloshirts, 5 jumpers & 5 trousers plus DS1&2 10 shirts, 10 school trousers, 6 jumpers & 3 gym kits. Oh how I look forwad to Piper starting school then I'll have 15 shirts to do plus skirts:eek:

    Perhaps one of the peg posse will tell us all about the wooden pegs. It's plastic ones I have and Piper gives me what colours she thinks will look good;)

    Hi
    Sorry this is a quick pointless catch up reply. hink I didnt post last night but I have been so good this week and have done a bit every day, not done today's yet but I wrapped up some presents yesterday that were cluttering up the sdumping ground so I think I have inadvertently flown today anyway LOL

    Been to Legoland with the 2 wee ones today, met 2 friends with their littlies and we had a lovely day. It was roating, so we had a picnic.
    Now go to take the older 2 swimming, I hate this bit, by the end of the week none of us want to go out. Oh well.


    Oh just wanted to day (((hugs))) to Dusty, sorry to hear your Nan is so poorly.

    Will catch up more later and if I dont get a chance to post have a wonderful weekend everyone and a lovely Mother's Day if you are celebrating it.

    Catch you all later.

    When I washed MY duvet cover the other week I didn't iron it it just went back on the bed - because I knew it would be really wrinkled after I had slept under it anyway.

    But :o I will be ironing the two single duvet covers I have swapped today - then airing them - then putting them in my bedding box.;)

    I have done LOTS of ironing today though;) because I have done lots of washing:D
