i [STRIKE]must be[/STRIKE] am mad.
I had a massive kingsize double sided (iyswim) fleece blanket that was way to big to go in the washing machine and no way was i going to spend however much (£5?) for the laudertte so ive just spent about 2 hours washing/rinsing/wringing it out in the bath.
My arms are aching from the washing & rinsing, I then took my shoes and socks of and walking up and down on the blanket (still in the bath) to wring it out:o, i then put a towel on the floor blanket ontop then another towel on the blanket and walked up and down on it to wring the last of the water out, Just as well i had a bath this morning and had clean feet

My arms and legs feel ive just had a big workout :eek:

Funny I was thinking something similar today - I made bread in bulk in a large panshion , then washed the floor on my hands and knees - both a real workout! Was thinking what other household tasks I could undertake in an OS way to aid fitness and save a little more money!

Hiya,
I love a bit of household working out. Hoover lunges, dancey dusting and bingo-wing blitz the bathroom.MFW: Nov 2008 £156k, Jun 2015 £129k, Jun 2017 £114k.0 -
