I hate housework. I don't mind washing and I enjoy hanging it out. I don't like bringing it in. I don't enjoy ironing but love freshly ironed things.
I would rather cook or read than housework.

I have an iron we were given as a wedding present.  It is not used that often, but I do use it when sewing or other crafty stuff. 
My first ever paid job was ironing my big brother's work shirts for him - he loathes ironing.  70cents a shirt was the standard rate, but if he wanted one to go out on a Saturday night, he'd pay $5!  Big bucks for me at the time.

We had some time without a clothesline while we were renovating (some time with no dryer either!! Not fun), and I loved the convenience of dryer drying, but it was harder on the clothes.
Either way, my biggest downfall in keeping up with the washing is folding the darn stuff.

Off to buy school stationery today...very exciting stuff!!   ;)
And check out Hills spare parts at the hardware store. 

Ordered some more rubber bands for the Rainbow Loom yesterday - DS still going mad with them.  Even DH is now wearing a bracelet.

Too funny but the latest ad to come up on the forum is for a hills hoist!!

Goldfish you have to feel sorry for that poor possessed woman. What a burden and her so sad for her family. I doubt her kids will grow up saying my mom always gave me clean sheets. Better they could say my mom always had time to sit and read/play with me.

I once put DH's clothes in the wash that he left lying on the bed only to later realise he had left them there to put on after his shower.  :D

Yesterday I bought a Jamie Oliver induction grill pan at 50% off in the sales.  I have been wanting one of these for ages.  Now I can make Maddy's tandoori chicken salad  ;D

My Mum always loved washing of any description and ironing (plus sweeping) and would rip the sheets out from under you when you were having a lie in at the weekend so that she could wash. She seemed to wash when the sun came out as she couldn't bear to waste that lovely sun.  Dad used to be livid but I'd just roll over and go back to sleep sheetless.  She was a terror too for hovering over you when you'd almost finished your meal so that she could grab your plate and finish washing the dishes.  I did that once to DH and he said 'I'm not finished yet Hazel' LOL. She always washed and ironed in the same day, still does at 91.  Needless to say I do not take after my Mother.

I've just done some lunchbox shopping from the new sistema range

A cube max and a couple of [urlhttp://sistemaplastics.com/products/lunch/2l-triple-split-lunch-box]triple splits[/url] - I really like that they come with little yoghurt pots that fit in them.  And they will fit whole fruit too, which DH and I prefer (DS has no front teeth and definitely prefers his chopped at the moment).

My ice cream maker arrived today! Naturally the postie came in the 1.5 hour window when we were out this morning, so had to collect from the post office. Now I'm very frustrated that I have to wait 12 hours to use it! Working from home tomorrow, so will make a custard base today and stick it in the fridge to churn tomorrow, very excited! Have been umming and aahing about getting a machine for 2 years, ever since I got my TMX (and joined this forum - you're all to blame haha!)

Nothing like that when my kids went to school! What would you put into the sauce bottles for school lunch?

Tomato sauce goes with EVERYTHING according to my kids!
And maybe soy sauce with sushi, but will see how leakproof they are first. :)
