Hello there dris - you little puzzler you!!!! I agree about the dishwasher, btw!
I think your idea about not having the PS's etc., is excellent Wiz. I read to my children every night, and then they read to me. It feeds the imagination far more than games consoles ever can.
make them wash the clothes in the bath, use dust pan and brush for the floors, wash the dishes in the sink, dry the clothes on the washing line, if its raining use the radiators. : - )
I do the clothes horse as well Icey seriously -why have your heating on and not put it to good use -plus you get a lovely smell of your clothes drying - frugal me -never lol
Hey wiz -cheers ma dear xxx
I prefer to actually physically clean -yip the old sleeve over the hand to dust that kind of thing -well saves on dusters lol
PMSL!!!!!!!!!! excellent idea dris - but you wouldn't want to do that in my house - your sleeve'd be black in no time - well, during the cold months when we light open fires!
Hi Kola -sorry -yip glad you agree with me -lazy isnt it -some say they couldtn live without them -thats a nonsense by the time youve cleaned the plate and loaded the machine the dishes would have been done.
Think a washing machine more than anything was and is the major innovation and in all seriousness when I had a full house I would have struggled without it.
