Does anyone want to get my washing in from the line?

Nope.

MrsTerryPratchett · 01/06/2021 20:40

OK but you can clean my grout.

KingscoteStaff · 01/06/2021 20:41

Happy to get in laundry AND fold, but you need to wash my kitchen floor.

MadMadMadamMim · 01/06/2021 20:43

It has been the hottest day of the year so far (probably).

I am such a lazy sod I've thrown a load of laundry in the tumble dryer - twice - because I can't be arsed to peg it all out on the line then have to fetch it all back in. And then iron it.

SandysMam · 01/06/2021 20:43

You have to get it in before it gets darked on Op!!!

MinesAPintOfTea · 01/06/2021 20:44

Will you do my washing up in exchange?

Seesawmummadaw · 01/06/2021 20:46

@MrsTerryPratchett and @KingscoteStaff deal! I find jobs like those quite therapeutic.

Well, I could, but I want to bring mine in first.
I'm still working up to hanging it out, so you might have a bit of a wait.

That makes me want to despair. Tumble dryer? Ffs

Seesawmummadaw · 01/06/2021 20:47

@MinesAPintOfTea only if you hang it Grin

@MadMadMadamMim it’s so much easier in the dryer! Although I then get guilt.

Make sure you do the corners.

LooksBetterWithAFaceMask · 01/06/2021 20:49

I’ll send ds1 to do it he’s good at folding but I need someone to do the dishes for me. Any takers?

AlmostSummer21 · 01/06/2021 20:49

@Seesawmummadaw

No problem. I like laundry!!

If you could just do my dishes. No dishwasher, there's only a few & nothing grotty!

@MrsTerryPratchett

OK but you can clean my grout.
Order yourself some of this from Lakeland. Spray on, leave for 15 minutes, scrub quickly with a hard tile brush and even black grout is clean. It is amazing.

Yes I am sad, but I thought I was going to have to scrape my grout out at the weekend and redo it. Nope! Huzzah!

MrsTerryPratchett · 01/06/2021 20:50

Alright @jumpingjackbeans I shall.

Tambourinetunes · 01/06/2021 20:51

You have to avoid the spider willies

bitheby · 01/06/2021 20:51

Only if you do mine. Still have a couple of things to peg out too.

HildegardNightingale · 01/06/2021 20:53

Spiders are making a home in your washing……………

Wishingwell75 · 01/06/2021 20:57

@pickingdaisies - yep same here! Been telling myself I'll do it now in a minute or 5 for the last hour. Is there any point in actually pegging it out now? I mean first it'll get darked on and then dewed on in the morning. Maybe best to leave it, rinse it and peg out in the am!😁

UtterlyUnimaginativeUsername · 01/06/2021 20:57

I'll bring everyone's washing in, it's a lovely evening to be outdoors. If you want it ironed, look elsewhere; I don't do that for my family, never mind yours.

I need my dishwasher emptied if anyone's up for that? It's the worst job in the world. I don't mind filling it though.

I'm also up for cutting lawns as long as your lawnmower has all its wheels, unlike mine which is missing the front two at the moment.

howdidigettobe50something · 01/06/2021 20:57

I will but only if you water my plants! Downside of no rain.

howdidigettobe50something · 01/06/2021 21:21

I don't mind a good bit of lawn mowing either. Funny how my smart watch tells me I've been cycling though 😅

KingscoteStaff · 01/06/2021 22:19

I would rather do anyone’s jobs than my own. Is this a thing?

In other news, this is my one year anniversary of the last time I ironed anything! I can fold the creases out of anything (possibly a superpower...).

Crispynoodle · 01/06/2021 22:24

I will! If you do my Q-Tags? Anyone?

Timeisavirtue · 01/06/2021 22:39

It’s weird. I have no problems putting it out, but it really grates on me having to bring it in, I leave it till the last possible moment or when it starts raining 😃
