Ziggy Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 Laundry... Laundry... Wherefore art thou Laundry... Morning and noon, evening and night Moon after moon, and all through daylight... Load after load in the machine will go Sports clothes and uniforms also Nappies, towels and so much bedding Always I hope to be left with nothing But more comes faster than ever Be it summer or middle of winter Laundry, oh Laundry always Your slave each mother stays... Just my way of moaning about hours and tons of laundry on a Saturday afternoon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 Oh Ziggy I know the feeling I'm just about to put my fifth load of the day on. (But I might have had it done by now if I hadn't been chicken shopping ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy Posted October 6, 2007 Author Share Posted October 6, 2007 Oh well... one has to do something to stay sane in all this laundry spinning challenge... chicken shopping is as good a way as any Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bronze Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 I have no idea either. And by hand! I do at least two loads a day every day of the week.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theherd123 Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 I have a fab OH where all thing laundry is concerned! He has just spent the last 2 hours ironing and is now in the kitchen clearing up after Sunday dinner and feeding the bears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 Send him round here when he's finished please Emma. I've still got to clear up after dinner; I've 2 baskets of ironing ready and waiting; the lounge looks like a bombsite (I can't see the carpet for toys) and the boys want me to play with them before they have their bath and go to bed. I don't know where to start OH is at work until 8.30 so I then have him to feed. Think I'll stay on here a bit longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowy Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 Oh Snowy! How about you get the children to help tidy the kitchen! Great idea in theory In practice it usually either takes twice as long or creates even more mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 Got to the bottom of my ironing basket this evening! Him Indoors is away so I dragged the ironing board into the sitting room and ploughed on, watching recordings of Strictly and X Factor.

Snowy Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 Aaaah! I've just finished all mine and put the iron and board away, then noticed another load of sheets still in the dryer and a load of jeans on the ceiling airer. I am NOT doing any more tonight.

Rhapsody Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 I am convinced my sons take in laundry for their friends, but Duvet Change Day is my nemesis! Have found way of getting hubby to iron- let him watch Rugby match/ blokey dry film undisturbed if he does ironing at same time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 I am convinced my sons take in laundry for their friends.: When m son comes back from University he always brings a huge bag of dirty washing "for you Mum" as he puts it. He has learned to duck quickly. There are always odd items, usually unspeakable towels that belong to his flatmates included in it. In fact I think he just picks everything up off the bathroom floor and brings it home "for me"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 I am always saying that we should consider naturism, it would cut down on the laundry but boy it would be cold. My life = laundry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy Posted October 8, 2007 Author Share Posted October 8, 2007 I always said the same... was ranting to my husband about the possible advantages of naturism... less cost in buying clothes, no cost of buying and running a washing machine, much better for the environment... and he just said .... 'Yes, yes, but.... IN ENGLAND???'... Okie the climate is not so favourable to it, but sometimes it's a nice thought... imagine laundry free weeks... Anyway, I'd better stop rambling, and go and start this week's laundry assault course.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyLizzie Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 I'm always pleased with myself when I gat to the bottom of the ironing basket - then I go upstairs to put it all away and realise that the laundry basket upstairs is full AGAIN - and I could have sworn I emptied it just yesterday... ...OH solution? why don't I get a bigger laundry basket! And if I do ever get everything clean and ironed and put away? - it won't all fit in the drawers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
