    Well done rose! If you haven't been anywhere, the phone will be in the flat, so you'll just have to systematically work your way through from one end to the other ... tidying as you go, naturally ;)

    Now... am I brave enough to wear red tights with my suit (black dress, black shoes, pinstripe jacket) or is that just attention seeking? :D
    Wow, what a brillant look! :T

    if u sit down and your feet dont smell slip shoes off under the table:rotfl:
    But don't accidentally kick them too far out of reach or you will be on your hands and knees at lunchtime crawling under the table to get your shoes back! That's what I usually do if I take my shoes off surreptitiously! Push them ever so gently back under your chair so you can feel them with your heel, then you can get them back easily! :rotfl:

    Triker, hope hubbys first day at work goes well, and that DD’s meeting with tutors is useful

    Soappie hope you get a brilliant job next week

    Jo I don’t iron either, just hang shirts and stuff up straight away and very rarely does anything actually need ironing – if its DH’s, then he sends it to his mother to iron, if it’s mine then I wait for DH to send things to his mother and I sneak mine in with his stuff!

    Well done Lady Liberty on listing all those CD’s!

    Yes - Ive decided that everything will be hung up on a hanger (well most). Most things can be worn without ironing and my body heat will deal with the rest! :D

    Some of littleys school uniform will still need to be ironed - but Im not doing everything anymore.
