Do you have a utility room?Ooooo I'd love a utility room

[welshmum]

I'll know I've made it when I get one of these

Its Cupcake's knickers you don't want to be smelling!

i do. its good. but do you have a study? oooh how i'd love a study etc....

I have a horse for drying clothes on.....(I make it run round my paddock really quickly until they're dry )

this is a maiden, called airers by weirdos

oh god I'd LOVE a futility room
and an orchard

at least I have a garden though and DD is currently running round it and making it look fairly idylic

arf!

(and no I REALLY don't want to smell cupcake's knickers either!)

Eventually.........we want to extend, we are uhmmming and arrhing over ideas still. AS well as doubling the size of our kitchen we may be able to put a small utility on the back of the house.
ATM I have a huge freezer, spare frigde/freezer and tumble dryer sitting at the back of an old pre-fab garage. Not great but couldn't do without it now.

Hubby is in a little dream world and says he wants a hot tub incorporated into the plans too!! Personally I would be happy with the larger kitchen and no utility room, but we may need to extend further to make the upstairs big enough for a new bedroom and a bathroom you could swing a cat in!!!
One day.................

I have never heard of that being called a Maiden.

Olive - you're showing yourself up linking to Argos. Happy meals and argos in one day.Tut. Stop it please.

We call it a horse - maybe it's a Welsh thing....Moondog? WelshBoris?

We've got one, but it's tiny and has no sink .

My maiden isn't as classy as that pic olive mine is white plastic and each piece is held by a little blue bit of plastic (apart from the broken piece)

I will have a utility room in my new house, can't wait!!!!

IS there a name for those cast-iron ceiling airers, the ones you raise and lower with a rope?
Man, I want one of those also.
And the high ceilings that go with.

erm, I am sure they have them in John Lewis or Twatroise

no

do you think people ever DID swing cats as a unit of measurement? [scratches head in perplexed manner emoticon]

I have an airer hung from the ceiling

and high ceilings

but it is still a crappy terrace

would be worth ££££££££££££££ in London though

tsk

yes we used to call it a downstairs bathroom but that wasn't very posh so we took the bath out and called it a utility room

Aren't they called Sheila Maids?

The cat in question was the 'cat 'o nine tails' whip that they used on board ship for keeping order. Hence the expression I think....

i have a maiden but no utility
would love a wooden maiden but only have plastic
i'd love one of those indoor washing line things...a sheila maid does anyone have one?

dinosaure, just googled, you're right about sheila maids, also known as ?winter hedge? which is lovely

keep up bundle

my maiden
