washing done! by sarah19

washing done!

WOW- I'd forgotten what it's like to have all the beds in the house in use!!!
Anyway it's a good feeling to have all the bed linen clean and ironed and away in the airing cupboard ready for whoever fancies coming next!
I was rather amused when I saw these photos as it all looked so tidy from a distance but the piles are not at all even......but I am not so 'sad' that I go and even them out!!!!!!
And the other thought was that some of these items have been with us since we got married in 1979....
haven't they done well! And I even remember who gave them to us! Friends make all the difference in the world!
Oh and Happy Birthday to my brother Archie who is 50 today! I can still remember the night he was born.......my mum came in to the bedroom where I was tucked up in bed, and gave me a kiss and said 'I'm off to have the baby - see you soon!'
It is a lot of work, and when the kids move out we tend to forget what it's like.

thanks! Yes Cathy I iron everything that won't melt! Love the sensation of putting it away ironed, and the feel of it when putting it on! Bit of a joke with some of my friends but hey we all have our funny ways!!!

That's a chore you can now check off your list! What a large pile! And that's a wonderful memory you have....

@happypat You are the first person who admits to this!!! So glad I am not alone! It makes a difference putting them away ironed and it makes a difference putting them on! The knickers that is!! I don't wear tea towels ....except when I'm a shepherd in nativity plays!!!!!!
