Re: not coping

Well I hope you can get it fixed quickly @outlander. Two mins is hard to get your hair washed.

Great work for going for a walk hon. I hoped it helped you. I'm sure you will get to the washing eventually. I can understand putting things on the back burner.

Re: not coping

i either have to shave or wash my hair lol @Snowie i cant do both on the same day thats for sure. they think the new system will be installed by thursday though thankfully!

i decided to put a load of washing on at least while the weather is nice.

Re: not coping

Hopefully it is installed by then @outlander and you can have a nice hot long shower!!

One load is better then none.

Re: not coping

If only the magic fairy could do the washing @outlander I think my kids think they already do!!

I like Peter Alexander pjs but they are expensive. I normally buy them when they are on sale. They are good quality. They do last a long time.

Not sure of any other online stores that sell pjs.

Re: not coping

Sorry just had to pick the kids up from school @outlander

They are a really good brand. As I said I just buy them when they are discounted. Makes it that little cheaper. But they do last me a long time.

Have you got work soon?

Re: not coping
