    When there was 5 of us at home it was at least 2 or 3 loads of washing a day - one of towels, light things like shirts and ladies undies, a dark wash of mainly boys tees, undies, socks etc (eldest son had 50 black tees at one time) and then either jeans or bedding a couple of times a week - the washing and drying was endless
    The difference now is vast with just 2 of us - towels, ladies undies, lights twice a week, dark wash for Oh every 10 days, jeans once a week, bedding once or twice a week so maybe 5 or 6 loads a week instead of 15 to 20. Also the new washer has a timer so I do the washes overnight so I've got all to get things dry :)

    There are only 3 of us but we seem to go through towels at a rate, thinking of investing in one of those big body driers instead of a towel when we get of the shower - or could just hubby to stand there with a hair dryer I suppose.

    We will miss you when you go back to work flo:o

    You'd better not disappear:rotfl:

    Two things:-

    1. Has anyone found the Popchip thingies for Shopm?

    2. I like Malc:D

    3. Called in the £1 shop today and bought lots of Oat so Simple (10) sachets. Supplies are running low we need a glitch:) Also got 70 one bag PG tips tea bags for £1 too:)

    1. Not yet but the app does show you on a map who is supposed to be stocking them.

    To be fair, I tried them when they were on one of the other apps a while ago - lets just say they must be an acquired taste (the display cardboard box may have tasted better :D).

    I just caught up with the kettle crisps in S today on COS. By the feel of them they must have 4 crisps in each packet:o
