So, what is the word for fighting a running battle with the huge (potentially radioactive) house spiders?
Safari?

Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.

I tend to choose clothes that don't need ironing. And I rescue the clothes pretty swiftly after the spin cycle ends, then they dry on an airer.

This usually works for me. However, some garments end up nearly good enough for work, but not quite. In that case, I hang them (on hangers) in the bathroom, where they will be subjected to steam every time anybody has a shower. After a couple of days, all the creases have usually dropped out without any effort on my part.

I don't often need to iron stuff now, but when I did need to, I didn't. I gave money to someone else to do it. It is remarkable how much better your life is if none of it involves ironing.“The ideas of debtor and creditor as to what constitutes a good time never coincide.”

Good idea. Some people who call themselves cleaners actually do both cleaning and ironing. I've never asked my cleaner to iron anything. She has, however, offered to include mowing the lawn in her 2 hours of work if the lawn happens to be dry enough on the day that she comes. My garden is due some major disruption for some repairs to the house, and will need new turf after that, so once the new turf is in place, I'll start taking her up on that.Do you know anyone who's bereaved?

Only cancel the cleaner if you intend to give the day as holiday with pay.
To deprive someone of their living on a whim would be mean IMO.
I agree. Also you don't want your cleaner to think you are not a reliable source of work and become unreliable themselves or worse leave for a better job.
I would identify some one-off jobs that need doing to replace the rooms that don't need more than a once over.
I always tidy before the cleaner arrives. I also tidy the kids rooms and blame the cleaner for putting stuff away.I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.

Do you think they'd ban me if I put a request for MSE to change the mark lewis photo on the top left of the screen? There is too much chest hair.“The ideas of debtor and creditor as to what constitutes a good time never coincide.”

Ironing is fun in winter.
Lir's ironing top tips....
Put on pretty underwear (you are gonna get hot, and strip)
Select appropriate singalong music radio station
Scented ironing water (the scent is important, but it can be essential oil in a spray and then plain water in the kettle.
Optional extras include,,,conditioning treatment in hair or non flaking face pack (but not honey, it gets op hot and drips off).
Then, dance about ironing, singing loudly and this chore becomes a free scented spa treatment with feel good factor.0
