I don't think I have ever weighed myself with the washing to determine the weight of a load  :) just did more loads with family and the cycles weren't so long as the more modern machines. Just the two of us now mostly and easy enough. I have had an unbalanced load, probably more so with one heavy item though but my machine recalibrates well with a little extra time and I do a separate towel wash without too many issues ... or tissues, which were my nuisance often, myself to blame for that with tucking them up a sleeve!

Impulsively purchased a new bed at the weekend, now have to get other one taken away and store it until then, delivery of new one end of next week but we'll be away in the meantime. Another super king size but doesn't have the one massive mattress on the 2 bases but 2 separate ones that zip to one, seemed a practical option for moving it about  :)

Lovely days here this week for washing or gadding about  8) ...

joining the conversation late . not much to say about washing ...full load waiting for less threat of rain ...tho i could always hang indoors if it doesnt brighten up tomorrow.

*KG I like the idea of 8 weeks free gym ....mostly for the swimming pool .& spa  im not sure where my nearest is .

 i ve been  allocated housing benefit and it will be backdated to april ...payment next week . after months of counting pennies and scrimping on food . im tempted to treat myself to a spa day .

i love saunas & jacuzzis and feel they do a lot of good for muscles  & relaxation

Quite a bright day here, nice and sunny now.

Have ordered some new clothes ,from a little catalogue, and a nice surprise was they were all with reductions,so I got another item ,so a summer dress, a nice skirt and two summer twin sets of T shirt and three quarter length sleeved cardigans .

Have been sorting out a drawer full of little things of sentimental value only.
But they are so hard to dispose of. I am putting little notes in so whoever sorts my things out will know what they are and why they have been treasured.
My children never really knew my mother,she died when my first son was only five months old.

I never had a grandma,both died years before I was born ,no Nanna to seek refuge with from my mother’s wrath (which  I usually deserved .)

Need to decide what to do with my hair, it is in poor shape ,many of my medications have side effects that damage and weaken hair .
I will get a wig,like Dolly Parton’s ,but will stop there -none of her other attributes !

Tasmanian chicken for tea .

Well done England’s Football team ,final on Sunday.
An exciting game yesterday.

Hope are all safe and at least comfortable ,as many have challenging health conditions .
Cheerio .Viktoria.

You must have kept the nice weather in the west Viktoria, we've had drizzly rain most of the day, although it hasn't been cold.
Perhaps your hairdresser will be able to give you some advice on what to do with your barnet?  :)

Personally I'm sick to death of the TV schedules being taken over by sport. I suppose it's an easy win for the channels (pardon the pun!) but it's not fair on those of us who have no interest in it.
