    I try to put my washing out as much as possible, but this seems to be the cue for every ?@** to start bonfires, 'is it me' or does everyones neighbour wait for the best sunniest day we have in a long time to light a bonfire and put their fresh new green tree clippings and grass on to it so fouling up the whole neighbourhood. We have had bonfires but put ourselves out to do these late in the evening so everyone will have windows closed and no washing out. >:(

    1-throw a dry bath towel in with your load to be dried. In your tumble dryer
    I found that this takes anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes off of
    the drying time.  This really adds up if you're washing and drying
    every day.

    At least the Cat will now be a little more comfortable when he comes in out of the rain. ::)

    like I said cyprus earwigs are a lot bigger than UK earwigs as are their giant cockroaches like the one that woke us up stomping round the wardrobe shelf so we thought we had a burgler!!!!

    nightmare it was

    havnt hung me drawers out since!!

    tho i think scottish earwigs are a bit more discerning
    they prefer socks
