    🎵 strong enough to walk on through the towels, there's a new towel on the other side🎵

    So funny about the golden girls in the pool.

    We have the equivalent at skating male & female but all inline skaters weirdly.

    🎵 strong enough to walk on through the towels, there's a new towel on the other side🎵
    I think I need a little Patience 🎶.  Are the towels going to win a fluffy towel award? No.  Are they fluffier than they were?  Yes they definitely are.  I think I will keep following the washing soda, white vinegar and shaky shaky regime as it should help re-fluff.  I didn't use any washing powder/liquid as my experiment was with clean towels and I was surprised how bubbly the washing water was.  Not sure if it was residue in the machine or in the towels.

    MSE bits - we still have about £100 credit with 🐙 which I'm pleased about.  Will keep my payments the same and hope to build up a credit for next winter.
    shopped from home for a bookcase for the garden room.  We had a cheap and functional bookcase that fitted the space perfectly but was the wrong colour.  We've spray painted it and I think with a second coat it will be just fine.
    I'm doing quite well with PA surveys this month - over £25 so far which is as much as I made for the whole of February.
    my latest target pot - the H&WB, optician, dentist and vet pot has crept up to £372/£500.  My aim was to get my first 2 target pots to £500 by the end of Q1 so I shall snaffle together the remaining £128 to achieve that.  Woe betide any spending needed from either pot for a while 😵‍💫

    You show those pots who's boss!

    I was going to ponder here if putting one of those spiky laundry balls would help fluff up towels in the washing machine but having just searched in case they have a name that's not 'thingimmy' I see that they're only meant for tumble dryers and don't actually help dry anyway. Doesn't mean my idea is wrong though 😁

    PIP - I think that you should definitely not in any way consider that your idea about spiky balls was incorrect.  Glad you took the time to read up on the best way to use them. 🥴

    Other than being wrong about their name, use, and effectiveness, I really think I'm onto something here
