When things hit rock bottom the only answer is to fight the way back up...

Do you want to hear something really sad? I have another neighbour who washes and irons her dish cloths. Not her tea towels but the ones she washes her dishes with. Seriously I am not making this up!

Read this carefully:

Some. People. Have. Too. Much. Time. On. Their. Hands.

:eek::eek::rotfl::rotfl:

Hidden On the kids bedding - I assume it needs washing daily because of bed wetting? With that being the case, can I suggest that it REALLY isn't worth ironing it - you're right, you ARE making work for yourself, and needlessly so - they're not even going to notice, I PROMISE you! I'd say the same with their nightclothes too bearing in mind I imagine they go through those at a set a day too? You have more than enough to think about from day to day without losing your precious time in stuff like this. Plus, you'll have an awful job retrieving that iron from OH's.....

While I think, and we're on the subject, I used to have a friend who ironed her bra's. when MrEH heard this mentioned, he waited until she was out of earshot and said that he imagined it wasn't a terribly arduous task for her as they were pretty much flat to start with... :rotfl::rotfl:

I'm trying to figure out how you iron a bra.
And I'm still laughing at the image of you OH with the iron (sorry- but it is funny!)

Hiddenidenity

Ah you've really give me a good laugh :rotfl::rotfl:

I don't iron Bra's I don't know how I would :eek:

Kids beds are washed just because I don't even know why? My mum always changed ours daily. Is that not normal :rotfl::rotfl: I've never actually noticed or discussed how often others change bed sheets

No OH still, Oh well means the kids are fed and bathed and we are all in PJ's :rotfl::rotfl: Watching tennis Because its the law

Toni'sfriend

I love having fresh bedding and would do i every day if it wasn't too much trouble. I probably change ours a couple of times a week but OH and son think that's excessive (they don't complain, though since it's not them that are doing it). I love when you go to a hotel and it's all fresh sheets and fluffy towels. I really am a simple soul.

It sounds like a very productive day, when will the cooker be coming? Hope all works out OK with OH whatever that might mean. Enjoy the tennis x

Hiddenidenity

Tennis has been good what I've caught I've set it to record so I can catch up properly.

No idea when new cooker coming have to wait for Hotpoint/Indesit to call again with a delivery date!

I'm so bored with no OH here there is nothing to clean or do

EssexHebridean

Oh we mustn't get onto the great "how often do you wash bedding" debate - that nearly caused WW3 in here a few years ago! :rotfl:

Suffice to say that from my perspective it is definitely NOT every day - and (puts gentle arm around Hidden's shoulders) no I think it's fair to say that is probably not what most people do.

Bearing in mind how much you do, and how much it's starting to play on your health a bit, you might want to gradually start weaning yourself off tat one - quite aside from anything else it must be costing you a fortune not only in washing powder and electric, but in wear and tear on the bedding itself?

I remember that one EH :rotfl::rotfl:

Totally agree though, there really is no need to wash bedding every day. Mine gets done (cough) once a month (cough) and that is only if I forget, other wise its every two weeks.

Toni'sfriend

Would agree with you there, Essex.
