    The sort of loon who repeatedly asks her partner to not to put stuff in the pockets on the floor,.....as that becomes washing terratory.

    Anyway, what sort of loon leaves their passport in their jeans pocket?

    Infact, pockets are not my bugbear, mine is that annoying thing men do of somehow balling their socks up in their pants so that every now and then a black sock sneaks into the wrong wash in pants. It drives me up the wall. I could almost understand it if they needed to keep a sock in their pants all day, but the nes i have washed for never did, and yet still always ...socks and pants in a bundle. Women would never do it.
    I've actually never done a bloke's washing.... me being proper single and all that :)

    she should wash everything except for the jeans in which i keep my passport / car keys.

    seriously, it's quite straightforward, i really don't understand why i am having to explain this...

    Put the car keys through the tumble drier (worked for me on several occasions)..If it’s a flippy one (like mine), flip the key out so that the heat gets inside.

    It’s absolutely essential to complete the entire wash cycle :eek:

    That happens automatically in the tax return as you type in your interest etc.... and then it does the calculations. Although interest on savings is about 2/5d a year.

    Tell me about it PN. I would be well pleased if interest met inflation but dear oh dear, hardly worth bothering with. You get half a crown a year? Well don`t go spending it all at once.

    Been watching "The Iron Lady ". Oh dear, she was an old bag and returned the economy back to the same recession as 1934 . Well no change there.

    PN, I do worry what is around the corner with regards to the future. The Toffs have cut taxes for that uppermost. They kick the pensioners in the teeth. Very sad to say that Nu Labour were a disgrace. Just imagine if their promises had worked out. The end to boom and bust. The keeping control of the housing market. Seems like a wonderful world to live in.

    You mention fags. I loved `um. My fave was Players Medium Cut, plain . With the budget increase almost £8 for 20 !!!!!! Me, I love my e-cig. Safer and a whole lot cheaper.

    oh yeah, i forgot you have to do a SA tax return if you're self employed, regardless of income.

    i've always been PAYE, but qualified to have to do a SA tax return through the level of investment income i was receiving for one year just before it all went down the pan. now i am below the threshhold, but they won't release me from the obligation, it's a terrible bore as i file all my records in no particular order in a big box.

    In the fridge or In bedside table draw. In hotel room safe. In a place not connected to your wallet but about four steps on your route to the door from the wallet, for maximum efficiency in getting out monied up and documented:D

    I used to dislike tha trick, but know if its heavy or i am tired dh carries my bag so it would be churlish in the extreme to not let him put things in it.

    Since we have to go through separate immigration queues, that would be unwise!
