    Blimey... just catching up... split up from oh? ((((hugs)))) And you iron towels :eek: :eek: Why?? Thats very bizarre :confused: I avoid ironing at all costs!

    hiya Taka!!!! ironed towels just feel nice i think. ok ok i'm sad.... how are things with you? OH and I have agreed to live apart for a while on the majority of days, although there will be times that he'll need to be here re work etc. a clean break would've been easier but it feels a bit of a relief right now. it hit him like a tonne of bricks that all this time shock horror i have been serious and i think he feels pretty carp right now. :( but i am absolutely dandy!! (is that bad?)

    :o Hi Pania, sorry to hear your news.A very positive step though as i sense that you have been unhappy for a while. Are you taking up residence in Hypnos shed? Or did i mis read it....:confused:
    RE the tent, i have a large dome affair with three beds and all mod cons, very comfortable and a bit of beacon as it is blue and orange.:eek: lol, last time we camped in stratford, it was foggy during the night and our tent was on a slight incline, everyone navigated around the site by it.:o
    Very handy though for a meet up and party, but El can't come until she gets her knee fixed.:D
    Sending you ((((((hugs))))) and best wishes for your new life. BOB XXXX

    I agree on the towel front as, i love it when they are folded nicely in the bathroom and the airing cupboard.

    Afraid I don't iron socks, knickers or towels. In fact I only really iron stuff for work - and then only if I have to! My general rules are 1) only buy it if it's mainly lycra, and 2) dry it nice and flat...

    Maybe I look like a right scruff but no-one's ever dared say anything!

    And P, supercook do a gelatine substitute. I think it's called Vege-Gel. It comes in a white (and a bit red) rectangular card board box and is with all the home baking stuff.

    And good luck with the OH stuff.

    Hey Pania

    Just managed to catch up on your news, think you have made a good move and well done for having the courage to do it. I truly hope you have happier times with someone who appreciates you. :grouphug:

    Hypnos shed ios back up option if OH gets sick of paying the bills prior to be having enough to move out :( is a plan to consider though. I also like the tent idea but think I may become subject of an eviction notice on that one!!:)
    glad someone else agrees re ironing towels. but one thing i HATE ironing is bed linen. yawn. your tent sounds fab, wheres the next trip planned for?

    Hiya DFW hope you had a great weekend. i'm steering clear of the gelatine as much as i can. i really need to get into a "must loose weight" mind set. all of my clothes are becoming increasingly uncomfortable. may go to the gym tonight! yay! what have you been up to lately?

    It's easiest to iron the bottom sheet once it is onthe bed.

    (I like ironing - however I hate any other type of housework)
