Think I need to join this peg group,I always make sure my pegs match when hanging the washing out,:rolleyes::rolleyes:
My OH thinks Im mad because when I take the washing out of the machine I fold it all up and it always goes on the line in a certain order with certain pegs etc.:p
Looking at that it looks a bit ocd,or am I just mad? On a flying note I have done all Extras and WM x2 ...2 more still to do.:A
Some (like glorious leader) might think otherwise but you just stick with me and Tag
I have pegged out my washing (ALL my pegs match mummyof5 - saves time :rotfl:)and it's in. Socks airing on rad - will iron later!

Hi guys :wave:
Got to my first customers house this morning....no answer....curtains closed (uh oh) ...... she'd diedI had to go round 3 neighbours to get the story and confirmation, she was by herself and the police had to break the door down to get to her, she was still alive but died in hospital
at least she wasn't alone I couldn't bare that....... then had to phone the office cause they didn't know either. Violet was funny and so full of life, and she'd had a heck of a one, RIP lovely x
So, my other two jobs have been brought forward so I'll be finished approx 2.30 today - done 1 job already. My washing is dry....SC is cooking away....will do my lists when I get back in.
at least she went quickly and she was not alone.. I'm sure she will have a rose petal covered place in heaven!

Have pottered - brought washing in from the line - put some more in the machine. DD has popped round and has taken the dog out for a walk.
Have also discovered there's a Geraldine McEwan Miss Marple on ITV3 (Toward Zero - don't think I've seen that) at 8pm so that's my evening viewing sorted!
Just the vexed matter of dinner to sort out now - I'm hoping I have some lamb chops left in the freezer. I quite fancy them tonight.
Oh, I also need to frontline the dog when she gets back and get the dreadlocks from her ears so she's all clean and pretty for her visit to the vet on Thur.
ETA - and put the BM on and boil up some eggs if I'm to have sandwiches for work tomorrow. Gawd - a woman's work really is never done!I am the leading lady in the movie of my life

I DO iron almost everything else though. Sock I am a total slob over. I pegs 'em out (in pairs usually:o with matching pegs always:D) then I bring them in and put them on the radiator just to air off. I don't iron everything - I don't iron bath/handtowels either - or mattress covers (cos they are rubberised and would melt) or bras but I iron everything else inc. dusters.
And Toots thinks I am sane muhahahahahaha
