Since the kiddies have been back to school~DD has had 2 days off with her grommets,Boy has had over a week off with scarlet fever!!Today is my 1st day in ages where I really should be playing catch up!!(His 1st day back!)But seems I have the same condition as you!!Do you think given a medical sounding label I can use it to justifiably explain to Andi why I've still not got round to doing the ironing?

Don't mention the ironing!!! If we ignore it, it might go away!

Oops - read this wrong and thought it said you had lazy tits - there's an odd image!

Good luck with the ironing but don't do it todya - the weather is far too nice for that sort of thing. Sit out with a big cup of char and just enjoy a moment or two.

I'm at work but sat 'invigilating' in an exam. Supposed to be writing a training course, instead catching up with everything on the Grapevine. Not good but hey, sometimes you've just got to have a skive. Wish I was outdoors though.

It's contageous - I've caught it too! Had to stay in this morning for the boiler maintenance man so I decided to make plum jam. Loverly! I's done. He's gone - I think I'll ignore the mounds of washing, heaps of ironing and go into The Big City (Hull!) for a shuftie round the shops.

i haven't ironed anything since my son was 13 ...... he joined army cadets and they said he had to iron his own uniform, this progressed to his school uniform, ..... i buy stuff that doesn't need ironing, and stick everything in the dryer on hot for 10 mins after drying on the line, or just put them in the dryer if it's not nice, then hang everything up straight away that might need ironing and put it in the wardrobe, so any lingering creases drop out.

I don't see the point in ironing, only to fold it up, put it in a drawer so it needs ironing when it comes out.

well it's turned out lovely and warm the sun is shining, and theres loads of bees out buzzing round

I am having a lazy morning too - not getting anything constructive done at work (but have a meeting this afternoon so need to stay for that), and seeing the sun for the first time since Saturday is annoying. I've been checking out my favourite fora though - Grapevine, a Christmas one (I know but there's only 98 days to go now!!) and the magic mummies.

I really should actually read the document we'll be discussing later though.

Well i'm not lazing today!!!
I spent this morning battling French burocracy (sp??!) trying to get child benefit (- why on earth do they need to know our income for 2006!!) and this afternoon we are putting in beams for a mezzanine floor, prior to redoing the roof.
I may just procrastinate for a little longer though.........

Now the ironing should really be put off at present.

Irons are high energy users and I think it would be best if you put it off untill you are sure that energy prices are stable.

Also you should do some gardening first to offset the carbon footprint of the iron.

Is that a good enough reason? Saving the planet for your kids!

The only things which should ever need ironing are mens shirts, and possibly womens work blouses. Everything else can be folded/hung up hot from the dryer. Believe me, I have years of experience! School uniforms look no better ironed, and certainly don't stay looking ironed for longer than 5 mins! I iron once a year, thereabouts, and I haven't had to do that yet since OH isn't working!

I'm not lazing by the way; I've done 4 hours on the lottie today, cooked a load of beetroot for pickles (OH loves them pickled!), got tea simmering away, and I'm going back to lottie to shovel sh*t later when it gets delivered.

thing is when you dry on the line you get peg marks & on the radiators leave a rather noticable crease also!!Anyway;it was an absolutely glorious afternoon so picnic at the lottie after nursery won hands down!!Why is it I can never find the motivation for housework yet get to the lottie and I can't stop!!Think it's as stuffs either weeds~chuck or veg~keep!!None of this sorting things into piles & putting away before you can even think about dusting!!
