No washing machine? Nightmare! There is actually a laundrette in my town butI have no idea who uses it. I think it might only be surviving on people washing theri duvets and other things that don't fit in a normal machine.

No launderette here,cost you a fortune to put them into the dry cleaners! Just have to rely on family until I can get it fixed or replaced.

Well i was born in dublin and lived there when i lived in ireland.
my dad was from limerick (well just outside, castlemungret).
my mum is english so i'm half-and-half! with an irish passport though

Plum - i thought someone else had talked about plans for tomorrow

My favourite pub is having an extra-special pub quiz for St Patrick's Day. Not in Ireland at all, but I think over here it's just considered a good excuse for some beer (ideally Guinness of course)

JKS Mil is talking about taking dcs away for day well after she finishes work,FIL idea

So I offered last week to do my neighbours livingroom carpet before her daughters come home from Canada, so tomorrow will suit,

Cikecaka where are you?

WHy did you move away JKS, university/dh?

Well i lived there until i was 7, then moved abroad with my parents (dad's job). we came back when i was 12 and i boarded in dublin for 3 years, then moved abroad again. by a-levels age most of my irish relatives had died or moved so we became more UK-based.
i used to head back to see friends most Paddy's Days, esp when at uni but have only been back for the odd wedding since.
DH and I always promising we will have a proper holiday/trip/explore for his sake so he can see more of Ireland

See somebody else has started a things we need to do today thread, I thought everbody knew about the slatterns, it was one of the 1st threads I lurked on

i saw that too!

should we tell them we're over here?
(worrying about stepping on toes....)

maybe they worry there are qualifications to be a slattern...

Where FAQ when you need her?

Yes she could sort them out send them over here

I invited them over

they turned us down go and read

Thats the last time I do that

well done Plum

Night all

JKS did you read the rest of my posts or is that how long it took you to type your list

it took me that long!!!

not sure if she meant to be brusque or funny...maybe embarrassed that someone thinks she could be a slattern?

some of them may join us who knows.

anyway, we are fine here (though slightly concerned about the possible Irish link.... )

Okay then I'm an irish slattern and proud emoticon, although this thread is making me better,
I know it dosen't seem it by my ongoing list but my wash basket empty, Just have to sort all clean washing which I shall do while watching 24
Hope to get loads done tomorrow if dcs away, and neighbours carpet
actually will do my list now and then won't be tempted on to computer too early

I am off to bed really, once i get off mn!

DH actually commented this morning that the house & us were more organised than normal

(haven't told him i'm on a slatterns thread! thinks i spend enough time on here as it is!)
