I adore doing the washing...especially sheets & bedding. Until I bought a new digital washing machine it wasn't quite as enjoyable, as my old washer would invariably try to run out the laundry door during each load. I love the myriad of washing and conditioning/starching products available, and hanging my wash in the fresh air. Folding and ironing them comes a close second....Just love the smell & feeling of fresh clean crisp cotton. Although I do own a dryer it is only used to fluff towels and put t shirts back into shape after washing...........Oh and my most hated chore?...that would be sweeping down cobwebs from my 16ft Ceilings whilst teetering precariously on my step ladder.
