Today is, I am sorry to say, a #BadHousekeeping day. I have to tidy up extensively, put away washing, avoid the #ironingpile and then go to buy a garden hose.

That's as exciting as it gets here today.

Right. Yesterday was very frustrating because of transport logistics.

Today will be a better day. I'm going to do exciting things like me bins and me #IroningPile

Also, please note, I was up and dressed by 8.30 on a Sunday (mainly because it's cool).

In vain have I struggled. It will not do. I’m going to have to tackle the #IroningPileOfDoom

Decided to tidy the sitting-room, went on to tidy the whole house and put away a pile of clean washing.

The #IroningPile has resurfaced.

Vanquished the #IroningPile:

- four pillowcases
- six shirts
- three prs jeans
- frilly bit of flat sheet
- two napkins
- two teatowels
- one nightdress.

Now I deserve some flowers and maybe something nice for dinner.

I have zapped the #ironingpile:
8 shirts
4 pr trousers
2 teatowels
3 napkins
4 pillowcases
1 nightshirt
the lacy bit of a sheet but NOT the rest of the sheet
1 placemat

Came downstairs and found three things I'd missed, in a pile of dry washing on the sofa.

That's why I call it #BadHousekeeping

So. Choice between cleaning the bathroom, weeding the patio and tackling the #IroningPile.

Ironing it is, then.

Today I am going to tackle the #IroningPile that’s been building since before Christmas.

Honest.

I am pleased to say that the boudoir at #SneezyTowers is once more a haven of elegance, peace and lavender-scented drawer liners.

I have reduced the #ironing pile by about 50%, simply by deciding not to iron half of it.

Go, me.
