pearl Report post Posted July 24, 2007 My washing machine has died, I have to go 10 days before new one arrives, the laundry is engulfing the house, JP has run out of underpants, I'd rather be without a cooker, you can always get chips. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrs.ddh Report post Posted July 24, 2007 I have laundry in a basket to put away, more hanging on the clothes dryer, ironing shoved in a cupboard and another load waiting to go...we are either very dirty or very clean. And I agree, where does it all come from? The dirty laundry container is a bottomless pit...it just keeps coming And here I sit ddh Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pearl Report post Posted July 24, 2007 I have 3 laundry baskets that look like erupting volcanoes. And we have to keep using the same towels till the new machine arrives, yuck. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could you hang the towels outside over night to freshen them up? It might not even rain.... I know your pain, Pearl. I remember when our machine packed up - it was like dirty purgatory. I ended up going to the launderette - either that or move - the clothes piles were taking over the house... ddh Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pearl Report post Posted July 24, 2007 Well theres rain forecast, what a surprise, should have done that today when that round shiny thing was in the sky briefly. We dont even have a laundrette near, I've done 1 load at mums to tide me over, ooh I cant wait to get my shiny new machine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pragmatic Report post Posted July 24, 2007 I paid my eldest two to tackle youngest's room, I know, I know, it's probably classed as some form of abuse Well I wouldn't class it the same I do the same they get money to do stuff but obviously they only do it if they feel like it and that is a rare event- so I have to join the club. I try to keep one room (the living room) as tidy as possible but even this is not working and all sort of things are creeping on the floor/sofa and coffee table.. Oh my god; it is never ending Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
forbsay Report post Posted July 24, 2007 (edited) My little girl has renamed our dinning room - "the tweenie room" - says it all really!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pearl - that is a shame about your washing machine. My washing machine has a strange rattling noise at the moment but I will be thankful that it is still working!

Bagpuss Report post Posted July 24, 2007 I actually managed to sort out a window cleaner today Their prices have shot up abit since the last time I had one, it is going to cost me �9 per month.........mind you, my previous one used to turn up when he needed drinking money and had to pack it in for a long period when he fell off his ladder Now I know for sure my windows are filthy on the inside too Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh my god; it is never ending I too pay DS(HFA 14) to do chores around the house: it gives him things to do and keeps him occupied. As he cannot get a job, it is his way of earning money for the things he wants - and I use the DLA money to pay him! I have very tidy kitchen cupboards at the moment! Now if only he would clean under the sofa.... ddh Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He'd been sent down for burglary. Good luck with yours! Edited July 25, 2007 by Bard Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
