My washing basket is also empty OP...

(I stuffed it all in the washer out the way...)

ReadyToMoveIt · 24/03/2022 16:32

We have 4 laundry baskets and not a single one of them is empty!

Marmite27 · 24/03/2022 16:32

I put the kids stuff away earlier and the clean clothes baskets are empty!

I don’t care about the dirty ones, they’re DH’s dominion Grin

I love a empty washing basket...
There was that one time in summer 2020 I managed it. Ahh memories.

Cam you consolidate it into one or two baskets so at least you have the satisfaction of some empty ones?

Ah yes, it's one of my important steps...
Collect in basket..
Shove in washer when sick of looking at it..
Wait to fill the drum...
Wash it...
Forget about it..
Re wash it...
Hang it up.

I love DH but the way he hangs up wet washing gives me the rage. He gets the joy of hoovering instead!

I honestly can't remember when it was last this empty, so decided to commemorate the moment with a thread 😅

I put a beef stew in the slow cooker at 7am and it smells delicious. Shame I now have no appetite as I’ve been dipping bread in it all day 😫

That sounds amazing. It's like a gift from past you to future you!

Unlike when you strip the bed and don't immediately put clean sheets on. That's like a punishment from past you to future you...

Same but I'm already on day 6 so my laundry is done! Tbh it's all I could managed as I've been ill with it.
DutifulDaughterWifeMother · 24/03/2022 16:45

Let’s see yday did 3 loads of washing, laundry basket empty, looked after a poorly dog, made dinner, washed up after everyone. Made the bed at 10pm last night as I was so exhausted and no hubby to help as he was away and spent the night in pain and all day in bed tday as a result (I have fibromyalgia). Was meant to be spending the day with hubby but instead he sat in bed with me as I could not move. Hoping tomorrow is a better day……Monday I start on the ironing pile, wish me luck ladies

stripeyflowers · 24/03/2022 16:49

Oh, it's a joyous feeling!

Thanks! Clouds and silver linings and all that.

I’ve got Covid too. I have barely left the sofa. My win of the day is that I asked my daughter to put the washing on Blush

LIES! Grin

What's the secret? I only find missing socks when I finally throw their mates out / relegate them to blind dusters.

I’ve dusted for the first time this year and washed the front door down.😋. We all deserve medals, chocolate ones preferably.

You star! Totally agree. I need to wash my front door and evict some spiders from my porch... (I don't really mind the spiders living there but the webs aren't great!)

I fixed our broken washing machine.

I've been pricing up a new one but after a few youtube videos she's draining like a dream!
