At the risk of raining on Cod's parade...

[Caligula]

... I must recommend the Lakeland laundry basket.

Compact yet capacious, light yet durable, easy to carry, elegant yet blue and yellow... well you can't have everything.

Anyway, it's great and every time I put my washing in, I feel just that little bit closer to Bree-dom than I did with my old crappy Addis one.

Laundry alert over.

Well thank you Caligula. Bet you didn't ever think you'd have so much to say on the subject did you?

Gomez - snap!

Ikea bags are fantastic and 50p, iirc

And they squash up really small.

We use them in the garden too.

I have raved about the laundry basket for ages ..... and I have TWO, ner.

Well I ordered my pan lid and I only spent £33 altogether! How restrained is that? I didn't even get free P&P.
