Just home this morning from Spain. Went to a self serve laundrette yesterday and did all my washing in resort.. now I just need to iron it. Made my day though and I’m quite happy.

DH runs the laundry here. I suspect however that the washing is not his favourite part of a holiday, or coming home from one.

She must have some terrible holidays if that’s one of her favourite bits!

I am one of those women. I enjoy it 🙈😆

edited to say it’s definitely NOT my favourite part though!

What, it’s the worst part of going away!

For me too! (Well no, the packing is pretty dire too, but the post holiday washing is… depressing )
