Morning Maddie and Von. :-D <3 :-D <3

Everywhere was white when I woke up - and it still is. Had to de-ice the bird bath so the birdies could get a drink.

Is I getting along OK, Von? <3 <3

Off to perform my ablutions and put on a presentable face to the world.

Back later.

Enjoy your day everyone. <3

The local roads are treacherous and people are finding it hard to walk on the pavements. I'm staying put today (again!).

Got out early to go to the Post Office, all the corners were iced over, so had to be very careful I didnt go flat on me bum :-0 :-D

Miserably cold, and no sign of an increase in temperature :-P :-P

Afternoon everyone :-) <3

Sunshine here, but that wind looks cold.
I'll let you know...

Good afternoon to all.

A tad "warmer" today, enough to start a thaw.
Snow has gone from the roof the drive & path alongside the front of the house, but very mucky !

Just had my new washer installed so now too get some washing in, just have to pay for the machine now !

Joan.

Great that you have a new washing machine, Joan.
I know our parents managed without them for much of their lives, but that is one thing I would rather not do without.

Been out to get a birthday card and a few items of shopping.
Lovely sunshine.
The wind has almost completely dropped, but the air is so, so, cold especially now the sun is going down :-|

Hi Gwyn,
We didn't have a washer when we got married (1967) had a baby Burco boiler for whites, hand washed the rest & used a mangle to get rid of the water.
Drying things was not easy during the winter, I didn't get a washer until 2nd baby came a long in 1974, it was a Servis with a wringer attached, loved it.

Joan.

Hello Joan, Baby Burco that was what I had for the kids' nappies.

Soaked overnight in Napisan, in a bucket from Mothercare. The smell was delightful in the morning when they were rinsed out. Then into the Burco to boil them, :-( :-D :-D

Nothing nicer than seeing 12 towelling nappies fluttering on the line :-D :-D

Happy days, our first washing machine was later, and it was a Hotpoint :-)

Baby Burco for me too to keep son's nappies snowy white :-D
That was in Cyprus.
Back home I had a 2nd hand twin-tub by the time 2nd child was born, but still boiled the nappies.

First automatic washing machine was bought in Tesco about 1978.

~~~~~~~~~~ I’ve still got my baby burco :-D :-D :-D

My mother got her first washing machine when my first baby was born and we came

to stay with my parents ;-) ;-)

Mind you my mother sent bedding to the laundry together with my father’s collars and

shirts It was collected every Monday. ;-) ;-)
