    I never iron my bedclothes, but I do love them when they are ironed, so I have done the pillowcases and one side of the divet cover, it looks lovely, need to finish my room before I dress my bed though :eek: I may barricade myself in the room to stop me being distracted though.

    I'm not, I am standing in the kitchen cooking dinner and (don't tell anyone) ironing my bedcovers!


    OK multitasking is one thing, but how many hands do you have. Cooking, Ironing and typing? :rotfl::rotfl:

    Evening all

    Sorry not read thread yet so (((hugs))) to all those in need.

    Work kids still slightly grumpy today, but only had them for morning, and all they did was watch another group's final presentation so I barely spoke to them really. To be honest, I'm in a grumpy mood too so that doesn't help, it's time of the month so that's affecting my moods. I've decided to go in and be bright and breezy tomorrow regardless of how I feel so hopefully that will rub off on them too.

    Went to uni this afternoon. It was our last taught lecture for the year :eek: time has flown by! We have 2 week Easter break then 2 weeks of workshops for our portfolios, then we finish and hand everything in on May 18th! Eeek!

    Not much OS today - need to make packed lunch that's all.

    Have a good evening all

    I don't usually, but having put them on and wanting them to look ironed i decided to iron them while they were on the bed - worked quite well til i was returning the iron to the spare room, carrying too much, dropped it while still hot :(, it bounced off my wrist (burning the skin on the way) and landed hotplate down on the carpet (got a new pattern in it now :mad:):mad:.

    Guess who'll be buying a rug at the weekend?

    However must say have been slathering aloe vera gel on the burn and it's been fab

    Other than that it's been a lovely day :p

    Allie sounds a bit like me dropping an open bottle of nail polish on the bedroom carpet :( I didn't even bother to attempt to clean it knowing it would end up looking worse than if I'd left alone grrrrr
