****Wonderful Warm Weekend Chat - get the washing out****

katsu

Washing marathon still going. Nice to be able to get it all clean though Should be able to get basically up to date with washing if I keep going for the rest of the day.

Not started on front room yet - anyone got any spare motivation?

I've got plenty of motivation today - just lacking the enthusiasm

DD's have gone back to the beach with friends, DH has gone back to bed, I've sorted and cleaned through, just about to get the washing off the line and iron it and get stuff ready for a BBQ....

DH's parents are popping by in a bit though so I'd best get a wiggle on.

*would hand over motivation but has none*

THought about the TV subject, I still have a working TV. So a new one can wait a little longer and I'll have line-y analogue (digital box doesn't work = get some but not others and it's not fair!) Also, Pint owes me money so when and if he pays I'll pop it in the bank not spend it.

Our large sleeping bag needs laundering. We normally do a launderette run with it. I'm wondering about handing it in at Mr M who say they do duvets from £14 on their dry cleaning "offers" page. They also do a dry cleaning service where I work (you hand it in on site and it comes back to the site). I need to go get their price for a sleeping bag/duvet.

I'm thinking it might be worth handing it in somewhere instead of having to spend a whole friday evening washing and drying the bag at the laundrette.

Anyone got any recommendations on bargains for sleeping bag/duvet cleaning?

katsu

congrats on your sensible plan elfen.

Sleeping bags are quite squishy - have you tried getting it in your washing machine?

Should dry in no time in this weather.

i wash my sleeping bags in the machine too and my duvets but my machine is 8kg.

stunning day here too, up to date with the washing,

we are having a marathon bead sort, trying to sort all the beads into catagories in boxes, to try and see what i have as my beads are all over the place. bought 10 storage boxes yesterday and need to get more!!!

katsu

I need some new bead storage too, well, I want some actually. The beads my friend gave me are in boxes that are different to my ones and one has a broken hinge and one a broken catch. I need to sort through them too.

My machine is small and the sleeping bag is a huge one (it is a duvet style big bag, the size of a double duvet when opened out), but I'll see if I can push it all in at the end of my current load (have my doubts).

clairewop

the beads storage boxes i got were £1 each, good enough for the purpose gonna need to get more tomorrow though

Is it a bad thing that I'm happy my mate goes home tomorrow?

Just I want my space back and not covered with man-things.
