Arf! Here's someone showing towels. She's hilarious
Is this the Anthea Perfect Housewife Trademarked method? (I didn't see that episode)

oooh sorry..went off to do tea....
Well the method Anthea used is different to that one...I have to put it on the floor to do...or the bed...
You fold it into half...like the woman in the youtube clip...then again...as she does...then you fold the top down as she does...then the bottom up to the middle...so both the rough edges are in the middle...then you just fold in half..
(does that makes sense???)

I really can't do the bloomin t-shirt one!...can't get the sudden..shake and flap and hey presto bit!!!!!!!

flamesparrow · 20/11/2006 17:35

It took lots of drunken practise with the t-shirt for me to master it

lol!!!

There is an even better towel folding technique..where there is a little pocket in it to put tooth brushes in and stuff for guests!!! Anthea..again!
You kind of fold it over length wise a couple of times..then the last edge you fold back on itself...then fold other half over a radiator...and you are left with a little pocket!
It only really works with hand towel type towels...

that little kid is HILARIOUS!!!!! So sincere.
I mean there's anally retentive and then there's him.
"This means your clothes will all be the same width!" WTF?!
They have those foldy things in Gap I think.

ludalightsandlanterns · 20/11/2006 17:46

caffeinequeen · 20/11/2006 17:46
