I have a Zanussi washer/dryer which is adequate for my needs as I don't have lots of washing to do.

You have now ! Sons socks in the post as we speak, they are fresh he only wears them at least 2 hours at a time. 
Sheets are on way  



 

I think they're fine if you don't have big loads, El - but in my house my son creates mountains of washing.

I watched Mr Selfridge and I enjoyed it, I think it has promise.  That nasty Lady Lay or whatever she is called looks a nasty piece of work

Oo-er takes the whole meaning of an interactive forum to a whole new level

I think it's Lady May, but I think your name for her is probably more apt.

Could be a Freudian slip she is an ex Gaiety Girl and seems a hard faced besom.

Good evening I had an unexpectedly very busy afternoon at work; for some schools it was their last day off, and typically everyone left it late in the day to come in.. Just as those who were back at school, flooded in on their way home! The majority were great chatters though so it wasn't at all horrid to be there. I recorded mr selfridge last night, it sounds like I could be disappointed in it though. I'll try to watch it this week. I was very happy to watch glee last night though, it was the first episode of the new series. I have 3 series of the Tudors on DVD, I enjoyed it up until they got older and Henry went mad. He was horrid wasn't he! I didn't like his 5th wife, I forget her surname now I did very much like his best friend, the duke of Suffolk though I don't have a tumble dryer but I'm very lucky that we have spare bedrooms and a lovely big banister to spread laundry around. Our house is warm and everything dries fast, unlike our old house that was very damp and required a dehumidifier to get the washing dry! I cheat with ironing though, I dry as much as I can on hangers so a lot doesn't need ironing

 

I even iron shirts which say non-iron.

I think I may be a compulsive ironer, I don't like creases!

Whoops sorry.... I thought I was in the CBB thread.... didn't mean to butt in Evening Buddies

You're welcome any time Baz - you can even bring your ironing with you.

Site is really slow and coggy for me, so I'm signing out.

Goodnight Summer, sweet dreams.

Lol baz Aw yogi, that's so frustrating! I got cogs the other night during CBB, I hope yours is better tomorrow sweet dreams

Cogs! I've got cogs!!!

Good morning everyone

 

Dry, mild and patchy cloud here at present, but it's all change today with rain arriving by evening.

 

Summer, Love Actually is on ITV2 this Friday starting at 9pm.

Good morning everyone.  Yogi I sympathise I used to iron everything, underwear, socks, face flannels, everything until my hubby talked me out of it.  I do what Summer does now and dry everything that can be hung on hangers that way.  Of course I don't have shirts to iron anymore.  I find if I drape my sheets and pillowcases over the dryer and fold them carefully afterwards they are very smooth.

Good morning a very dark, rainy but mild start but it looks to be brightening a little now. I think we're forecast rain most of the day El, thank you I've set a reminder on my phone and will record love actually Squiggle, I too do that, if I dry my bed covers over the banister and fold them perfectly at the right time, they don't need ironing I'm really good at folding fitted sheets, I spread them out on the double bed and then fold them from there. I recently noticed that mr summer hangs his socks in pairs to save time pairing them up when they're dry

Summer, I see you set a challenge as to what your next name will be. Lori has posted her thought - she's thinking of the 14th rather than the 12th of next month

I need to make a NY resolution to do less ironing.

 

Good morning everyone. It's raining again!

Summer, are you after another name change, what do you have in mind this time?

I'm glad you have a well trained hamster (I happened to see the final episode of Fawlty Towers the other day where Manuel's pet "siberian hamster"(actually a rat) escapes and eventually is found in a box of cheese biscuits being offered to a visiting health inspector:

*goes to look at tech forum* It's definitely the 12th, rather than the 14th

Haha, I've guessed what the name change will be.

I want to make some now Here's something I'm a little amused at; this last week or so, all my customers are coming in wearing new clothes

For anyone who is interested here is David Bowie's Where Are We No? which he released today.

Either Christmas pressies or bargains from the sales.

 

I was catching up on last night's Lewis and I'm really sad that it is supposed to be the last series. Laurence Fox is off to America to try to make it over there, and Kevin Whately wanted time off to do other things.

On a happier note, I read that ITV are doing a series of Endeavour.

Yogi, Kevin Whately is 62 next month and so his character has reached the police retirement age. Maybe the writers will let Lewis actually setlle down with Dr Laura Hobson?

I would be happy with that ending, El.

Don't forget that a new series of Death in Paradise starts tonight at 9 on BBC1.

Squiggle, I know you don't watch crime series as a whole, but Death in Paradise is more relaxed than any other modern crime series, doesn't dwell on gory scenes, isn't violent and the episodes in the first series are rated either PG or 12.

Thanks for the reminder, El. I had forgotten it was starting tonight.

Thanks EL but I'm just not keen on police series on the whole

I wouldn't normally suggest a police series to you but the first series was one of the most enjoyable series I've seen in years.

You could have a look at some of the comments made by customers on Amazon on the first series:

Evening, I hope everyone had a good day

Evening Summer, how's your day been?

I'm watching the polar bears on BBC2 atm. The cubs are cute but mummy bear is fierce - she has huge teeth!

We've got that on! bramble is engrossed in it I love shows like this Had a good day thank you, did you?

I love these shows, too - so much more interesting than CBB.

My day was fine, thanks. I'd had Harvey for an overnight stay but he's gone home tonight.

One of the cubs has gone.

Was he a good boy? This morning I found 3 Xmas tree baubles under the sofa.. She must have played with them when we were out of the room! Aw not a cub that's one thing I dislike about nature, it's harsh sometimes
