Just for tonight I am sick of doom and gloom and enjoyed the lighthearted sock/wash chats about more mundane subjects. Took my mind off those more important matters for a while.

Bags! shock That never crossed my mind! grin

Which is too blooming often, if you ask me.

Only when I run out of clothes to wear, Elegran. grin

thatbags goody lots-a-socks not two shoes, surely. Oh, the cut and thrust of low temperature washes. grin

Elegran Wed 16-Oct-13 21:14:07

We do the bally washing, over and over again.

I thought that jings got fed up of being ticked off on A Certain Thread and decided to present a goody two shoes image for a wee while. Love it smile

We might write about this stuff, but do any of us actually do It? grin

And there has been a serious and very sensible thread about how to respond to people with worries. It is possible to hold several conversations at the same time, at different levels.

Why mischief? confused

I, for one, have been away for a few days and had a big wash load to contend with. It focussed my mind on all the little things I have pondered over over a long and fruitful marriage.

Ironing tomorrow.

They have been quite fun, actually. Not every thread has to be about something deadly serious. Laundry is not the most earth-shatteringly important subject under the sun, but it is definitely something that everyone has in common!

j08 Wed 16-Oct-13 21:10:43

Oh come on! We need a good mix of threads.

gracesmum Wed 16-Oct-13 21:06:56

Hear, hear - was it 5 threads on tea towels and laundry matters. I despaired but also suspect mischief.

What is all this sock-washing, revolving washing lines, washing machine at 50° stuff all about? This is very worrying. confused and [very worried emoticon]. What has happened overnight? Is it like the pod people and gransnetters have secretly been replaced with domestic clones? Help.
