I agree!!! I'm looking at the pile and it ain't getting any smaller!!! Any suggestions girls/guys? I'm new to this fly stuff, and I imagine that there must be some pros out there??

I got OH to do mine yesterday. All I needed to do was trousers and a couple of DD's items for school As long as he has something to watch on TV he'll happily iron for a couple of hours :j Then when he can't do anymore I take over and it only takes me about 10 minutes

Im not an ironer, cant be mithered with it, BUT if I were one- Id use a timer - 15 mins and 15 mins only! And then maybe in the afternoon as well- then at least the pile will go down - a bit

Does cleaning up chocolate biscuits count? I do need to run down the cupboards before the big move - in theory a week on Friday.

YAY!!!!! Amazon order placed at last ... only took 5 attempts :rolleyes: Thats OH's Xmas pressies sorted, my SIL/fiance sorted once I've done them the print outs for a notebook and all but 2 gifts done! :j:j I'm just hoping they arrive a little sooner than the 23rd December which is what the thing said it might be! :eek:

Right, well, I'm done with my WHBH - took an hour and a half - but hey it's the first time I've done it that way :rotfl: Besides, been flitting back to the pc to post here and answer some emails.

Still can't bear to look at the ironing, but I think I'm going to try the 15 min timer thing, either that or do it in front of a good DVD

My morning routine that I have in my planner is done :T I only just got round to eating brekkie! Going to leave all my errand running - posting stuff and going to the shops till after school run as still have a lot to do indoors!

the 9th is that?

Same day as us Hex - allegedly :rolleyes:

8th is completion date, I assumed it was the Friday but haven't checked....
50/50 slip to 15th, fatal to start packing I suspect.

anyway, we have liberated the dust monster from under the bed, and boy had he grown. he managed to give ds2 a shiner before we quelled him! that'll be a fun one to explain at nursery tomorrow.
