All yesterday Cbeebies bleating on about hanging washing out. DS now wants to hang some washing out. Now i know it's supposedly better for the environment but it turns your towels into sandpaper and is laborious and the feminist in me refuses to hang washing out!

Also, help mummy with the cooking programmes drive me nuts! What meals do these mum's cook? - nothing that involves hot ovens, sharp knives and raw meat obviously.

Even the cbeebies house is strangely fifties looking.

what is going on?

Well...............no i don't hang washing out. I tumble dry. I never have time to hang washing out. It's a conspiracy to make us all work harder unnecessarily IMO.

The thread was supposed to be about old fashioned looking houses on telly.

That died on it's arse then.

i dont hang washing out since i got a tumble drier. which i got coz got tired of having wet laundry all the time, and a house that resembeld an old fashioned laundromat.
i do cook occasionaly, but have discovered tesco finest range of readymeals. great stuff. when i do cook, th ekids dont help. except when baking, and i have got it so the ten year old now knows how to use the oven, he bakes from start to finish!
