:eek: £6 :eek:
So now would be a really bad time to own up to the fact that I nearly bought a £250 ironing board yesterday. Fortunately I woke up to myself. There's a few reasons but none of them good. My ironing board takes up too much space and this other one folds ultra flat and flush. My excuse for almost doing it was that I had a voucher for 10% off at the conran shop so it would have been £225 and I got an endowment payout the other day. This is exactly why I have to keep my money under several layers of lockdowns to prevent this kind of thing (I find the time lag with cashing premium bonds about right).
The worst of it is the last time I used the current ironing board was for a wedding in March. Given the lack of use of the damn ironing board I could probably just use the dry cleaner for every item and it'd be years before I spent 225 but the last time I did anything so shocking (didn't have an iron at all at the time since an ex took it with him) my mum arrived and was not impressed to find that I hadn't bought an iron in the year since the split.

Hmm - think I've got an ironing board somewhere in the house - I very very rarely use it - if you dry, fold and air properly there's very little that needs doing.......my excuse is I'm helping prevent global warming....:rotfl: and I could think of far far better ways to spend £250:D
Badger_Lady - had a thought about the spatula...

I did ask NiceSoFarLodger if he might have done it in his sleep...
I'm sue that if he gets 1/2 lemon and rubs that on the spatula that it will get rid of the smell of the cough mixture...Mortgage free as of 10/02/2015. Every brick and blade of grass belongs to meeeee. :j0 -
All is calm now... he's decided it must have been ExPotentialLodger3 cos he also found a fish slice in the blender. He's sent him a scathing text message and feels all better now!
I got one of those pressurised steam irons in the BzzAgent thingy and it's absolutely awesome... think I've used it three times since September, much more often than usual! :rotfl:Mortgage | £145,000Unsecured Debt | [strike]£7,000[/strike] £0 Lodgers | |0 -

No - he must have done it when he was over, earlier in the week (you know, when they were up all night!). It's just that NiceSoFarLodger didn't notice until a day or so later...Mortgage | £145,000Unsecured Debt | [strike]£7,000[/strike] £0 Lodgers | |0 -
The only way to have lodgers, it seems is to have a secret self-contained annexe... so they think you're off to your bedroom with en-suite, but you've got a full living room/kitchen out there too
Just walk through the house to use the front door to keep them on their toes.0 -
