Good morning. What a differance. Cold, dark, breezy and wet here this morning but enough about Mr WD:laugh:.

Ironing is a swear word in my house. Tumble dry things in the winter, straight onto hangers sorted. No muss no fuss :laugh:

I have been a tad irreverent on THAT thread. Shame.

Stay safe peeps:hello:

We don't have a tumble dryer, when things are washed they go out on the line or on the clothes horse.

Morning all :hello:

Looking out of the van window at a cracking view down the Camel estuary towards Padstow - tide's in.
If this view came with a house, it would be around £3M here.
We're getting it for £7.50 a night. :laugh:

I see holy hell is breaking out in some quarters. I haven't been able to check this thread back to Monday but do hope we are all still here. There are many plusses to being old.
They just can't resist. Constant oneupmanship. Does my head in. Dreadful how the same little clique can dominate and try and belittle anyone that doesn't agree with their views. It totally spoiled what could on occasions be interesting topics.

Anyhoo. Nice, if breezy wander done.

I caught up on the first two episodes of Manhunt last night and will catch up on the third followed by the fourth one live tonight. Really enjoying it.

Wish I had said that. They probably see them selves as having progressive opinions and being tolerant of others views. To quote Ricky Tomlinson “My A***.

I try to do as little as possible. Most stuff is fine if it is hung or folded straight out of the dryer while still warm. However, I have some jeans and T shirts for ehich this does not work, and ditto some of Mrs D's work stuff, so every 3rd or 4th week ive accumulated enough to justify an ironing session.

The good news is that as tiresome as it may be it is still much better than being a workie wage slave.


Mrs p irons hankies Why Get creased as soon as I stuff them in my pocket :laugh::laugh::laugh:

Hi folks ^_^ My old nissan micra has gone to the scrappers...quite a week ive been having. Walking and cycling now and being green and self righteous im saving the planet too!
Thinking about cutting my own hair now getting to the hairdressers is going to be a bit energetic after losing my car- anyone recommend some clippers [not sheep please though might work]. ^_^
New bike is ready to go but its been raining so went out on my old one, dont want to get the new one grubby....my precious....:laugh:
I bought a BaByliss MEN Japanese Steel digital hair clipper when the pandemic kicked off and have been cutting my own hair since. I have a full head of hair and with the aid of a mirror and a few Youtube videos have been very successful. Even my son ( who is a hair guru according to himself ) grudgingly had to admit it looks pretty ok. Its much easier than you would think provided the clipper comes with a series of clip on combs that regulate the depth of cut
