    Evening all

    I'll be doing minimal flying this week (thankfully I managed all flying tasks last week). I'll try to stay on topic and will probably create my own list tomorrow.

    ... and I meant to say earlier... the reason for ironing the duvet covers is that they take up so much less room (although it's not such a problem in the summer when they are line dried) in the airing cupboard.

    Mind you, if I didn't have so many of them (6 kingsize & one double at the last count :o ) then they'd just be straight back on the bed and I wouldn't have to store them. But I have lots, partly because I can't be sure that I'll have time to wash them before I need to remake the bed.

    AnW's Mum & L-L - thanks for the updates on Toots. Despite Valli's best efforts ;) it's been quiet without her!

    Ditto that too - I am missing her...:o and her PMA
    Off to bed now. Goodnight and sweet dreams all
    ***checks to see if unfinished ironing is in view of PC and sighs with relief as it is out of sight...:eek:***
    still can't have a social life AND iron :rotfl: what is necessary is done and the rest can wait...all that sunny weather means I went laundry mad...but the two duvet covers are ironed and stored (interestingly one of them has a St. Michael label...it's older than the kids! (DDs 'change' duvet cover still in excellent condition and passed to me by my mum...))

    Hi flying_fresian - welcome (to the madhouse!!) :D Your list looks fine - very sensible to start with Level One and aim to achieve that each day. Lots of us add extras that we need to do (and some of us even actually do them!!) :rotfl:
