I have 3 long washing lines which seems slightly excessive but I frequently completely fill them all, at least weekly. Dave reckons that I'm not happy unless my washing machine is on, he also feels that my dish washer is also something I like on constantly... My argument is with 5 of us creates such a lot, 2 full washers just to do sheets, another 2 for towels then 3 daughters, plus a fresh uniform for me every day, then my gym gear....Morgage till Nov 30 GOAL MFW Sept 2016Aug 11 - £100k Aug 2016.... It's GONE!!!!!

Did my ironing last night, have done all my Sunday morning chores now, gym done and now back from 70 min round trip dropping dd1 off (Dave will fetch as we share it) so I have the whole afternoon free....Morgage till Nov 30 GOAL MFW Sept 2016Aug 11 - £100k Aug 2016....
