    The problem with a laundry day is you need a very long line to get it all out and dried also take a risk the weather won't cooperate.

    Throw loads in so they are ready for pegging out, plenty of bodies in your household to do the putting out taking in.

    A load washed and dried(put out and taken in) is no more than 15mins actual work time, less for a sheets load.

    I have a line that fixes to the wall but looks like a whirly.

    NG - Good for you for standing up to your parents regarding the children's passports. Personally, I don't think they're missing out on a lot, unless they've been to an awful lot of places in the UK, and I've been to quite a lot of places abroad. We've a beautiful country here in the UK and lots of places to explore without needing to travel. I do love France but Calais is not a nice place, in my opinion.

    Ultimately, your children are the responsibility of yourself and your husband, not the grandparents. Personally, I've been guilty of letting my parents make decisions, much to the disapproval of my wife but recently I've realised it's not the way forwards and ultimately they had their opportunity, the fact they chose to not embrace it was up to them.

    I'm going on holiday via France in a couple of weeks, I'm dreading Calais! Travel advice suggests keeping car windows closed, doors locked and stopping for nobody except the Police! A day trip to Bakewell sounds preferable :rotfl:

    :rotfl: Come to Bakewell, we've got pudding and tarts if you like that kind of thing. You'll only get robbed by the council for parking. ;)

    Mind, at least you avoided the rain today. Bet it was busy, though.
