just noticed you do 2 or 3 washloads every day, and there are only 3 of you
I have a rule that if it isn't dirty (or smelly) it can be worn twice, and this does cut down on the washing,I am a Senior Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Wales, Small Biz MoneySaving, In My Home (includes DIY) MoneySaving, and Old style MoneySaving boards.

Must admit Glad I agree it always surprises me how much PP washes. could save a lot of time and effort by cutting down xx0 -
oh my god! Just got my chicken out of the slow cooker and it tastes delicious! :drool: First time ive ever cooked a chicken myself and first time ive had slow-cooked chicken.
It literally fell off the bones.. (which was not soo good when i was like "ewww chicken vertrebra!" when i was trying to sort it all into edible non-edible :rotfl: Ok im still a bit wimpy but i'll get there!) and because it did come off the bone the way it did ive got loads and loads of meat! i think ive got at least 4 or 5 meals worth out of one £1.98 chicken! Tonights menu is chicken, jacket potato and broccili. :j
I think im going to become a slow-cooker addict0 -
Hi Guys
Not a good or a bad here..lol.
I normally do 2 washloads a day and yes theres only 3 of usI do only wash when dirty and do the sniff test etc-specially on dd's clothes. I have personal accidents some days/nights
which means somedays I need to change clothing/bedding more than i would normally do..IYKWIM...sorry-too much info!! On a good week-I can get away with 1 load a day
but more often than not its 2. I wash all darks now on a 30c-which i didnt know I even had on my WM. Whites on a 50c and colours on a 40c....is this ok? I do only put a load on when machine is full unless its necessarry. Normally use quickwash too, which takes about 50mins. Is all dried on line weather permitting...i try my best
Watched the end of Schindlers list today...and has to be one of the best films ive ever watched.
Had me bloods done this morning and have had to increase the warfarin as my blood has thickened again and dont want another blood clot :eek: back again in 2 weeks. Always seem to be at the bloomin hospital.
Might try and pop back in later. Have cleaner coming in morning. OH has to make bed up as all was washed today-its super king and takes ages to do it.
Anyways, see you later.

Had a quiet day as feeling sick and headachey so just pottered about.
Did washing and put on line and hoovered around as I had not done it for ages.
Bought birthday present for DD to give to friend.
Did not feel up to cooking so DH had leftover home made curry with nan bread, DDs had leftover pasta in cream sauce and really enjoyed it.
Hope they never find out that my creamy sauce is chicken soup;)
Feel a bit better now so browsing on here."This site is addictive!"
