has anyone ever washed cotton curtains before that said dry clean only? I will need to iron them anyway

I've been thinking of washing some of mine, I don't do dry cleaning - does it actually work? I have images of them just shaking stuff and pressing it whilst spraying it with something toxic.

I did wash some unlined ones and they shrunk about 5".

Ironing all finished. Just going to put the DW/WM on and then head off to bed.

PenPen - I watched the 3Cs too - know which one won't be getting my vote

I want to see at least 2 things that are fabulous in our life right now!! There has been a lot of unhappiness so now we can all be Pollyannas and be glad about something!!

My back garden is looking fab
It's only a few days until easter
None of my kids have plaster casts on
I'm lucky enough to have very dear friends
My hubbie has a job
None of my family are in the forces
My family are healthy
Kids are all doing good at school
There is the whole spring and summer to look forward to

And of course there are you lot here everyday come rain or shine xx

Have caught up with the fred, but have had such a busy weekend, and BD is barking badly. Quack has doubled all medication, so hope that helps.

Suep, I am so sorry to hear about your dad. Be kind to yourself - hugsXX

Sandy, i am sorry to hear your news and hope you are recovering from the biopsy - at least you will get all the treatment and news that you need all at once without waiting around for appointments etc. I really hope that the outcome is as good as it can be - love and hugs.

Thanks, triker, I shall. You all sound like a lovely bunch of people.

Have caught up on sandy71's news today (Monday), at least now she's in the best place to get answers and treatment asap. Lots of positive thoughts going her way.
