    Morning all

    out at the crack of dawn (felt like) re hanging all yesterday's washing on the line. had it been rainy I would have had to use the TD - already ran the towels through it on Thursday night because I knew I would have mounds but I don't want to use it if I don't have to (see my sig)

    Have ironed one lot and stuck the maiden in front of a sunny, open window to speed airing. Sun dazzling on the front - unfortunately, in winter, the back garden doesn't really get any, and that's where the line is. Some of the washing's in the sun, though

    oh and I have changed a word on my e bay listing - (Thanks Lamewolf - it says ASSORTED now :rotfl:)

    we too have sun dazzling at the front and nothing at the back where the line is! And OH pegged out the towels doubled up this morning!:mad::mad::mad:

    Glad I had someone to join me - makes it a bit more motivating, so thank you seafarers.

    Well in my HHC I managed to:
    • unload and reload DW,
    • make my packed lunch for tomorrow,
    • put a load of whites wash on,
    • hoovered the windowsills in the bedroom and study,
    • hoovered the tv and units in the bedroom
    • hoovered the desk
    How did you all get on?
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    :rotfl:I probably ought to explain my comment about May 2002; that was when Mr LW and I got together.

    I gave him a lift home from a wine-tasting we'd both attended, and was invited in "for a cup of coffee".;););)

    SCENE 1 - The Lounge
    (Much examination of his new computer, together with the "Myst" PC game)
    Eventually:

    ME: I guess I ought to be going home, really.
    HIM: Please stay *looks like a spaniel puppy that's just been kicked*
    Fast-forward a little to....

    SCENE 2 - The Bedroom
    HIM: Um..... I have a confession to make.....
