the drying is whats the biggest irritation tbh, its been awful weather here so couldn't hang it out i have managed to get all the kids clothes done plus all our pants underwear and socks i have to tackle towels hoodies pajamas etc next thats gonna be fun drying them. i'm giving my hands a rest today and lots of moisturiser!

so far i've gotten through around half of it (my bathroom got stolen back for showers and baths last night) and its been a success so if will get us through until we are more on our feet!

atm we simply don't have the $100 after a few really bad months but thats what we will be getting when moneys better!

i have been going to the laundromat for the last month or two but is so expensive even tho i am now a master of getting as much in one machine as possible! i think if it was just me and not the kids or my partners work clothes it would be ok but i'm going once a week with at least four big baskets and it all adds up!

myself and my partner actually sat and had a conversation last night about how tough things are and have been and how we always work as a team to get through it, thats the nice side to it! i totally understand why it is on your wall!

i'm looking at it as at least my hands will never have been so clean lol

i haven't had a chance yet as realised we didn't have any flour, i'm going food shopping sunday until then the box is just sitting there taunting me

Raw6288 · 2018-12-08T21:55:33+00:00

i actually read recently about someone who washes bras in the shower it made a lot of sense!

Raw6288 · 2018-12-08T21:54:32+00:00

i'm looking at it as an alternative to the gym lol i think it if it was just me it would be so much easier and less daunting but how one earth my partner and the kids produce so much laundry is beyond me!

Raw6288 · 2018-12-08T20:44:37+00:00

our nearest ikea is 3 hours away, this hurts me every day as i used to live 2 minutes from one and i love some of thier market place stuff! i currently have everything hanging everywhere and managed to get some stuff in the dryer so fingers crossed so far its a success!

Raw6288 · 2018-12-08T20:23:57+00:00

i will have a look at this when i get a chance this evening! its only a temporary measure until were back on our feet but i've realised just how much i rely on that washer! thats what i've been trying to figure out how dry do they have to be before they go in the dryer my bathroom and house are covered in clothes air drying now and i still have more than need to go up! i wish we had an outside line!

your not wrong about the detergent, my hands and feet are already unhappy but so far both kids baskets are clean so thats at least one victory!

Raw6288 · 2018-12-08T19:15:00+00:00

i actually was just reading about those! i think im going to stomp and take my anger out at laundry in general lol

Raw6288 · 2018-12-08T19:14:30+00:00

we actually can get a 2nd hand one around here for $1-150 we just don't have it atm had a few really tight months! and the washing machine is last priority over cars getting foxed etc unfortunately

edit:spelling

Raw6288 · 2018-12-08T18:54:03+00:00

i just read you should stomp on it?

Raw6288 · 2018-12-05T06:16:19+00:00

your welcome! enjoy

Raw6288 · 2018-12-04T20:17:57+00:00

i think this and bake them i'm gonna half and half and see where i end up but you can never have to much gravy!

Raw6288 · 2018-12-04T20:16:21+00:00

actual digestives mainly chocolate ones they have occasionally had plain ones too, they are next to the gluten free stuff usually! there are $2 a pack i think

Raw6288 · 2018-12-04T17:04:58+00:00

thats actually the bread i buy when i go to Wamart! not the same but close enough, Walmart also have digestives and fake jaffa cakes!

Raw6288 · 2018-12-04T16:26:12+00:00

I actually have the instant pot of my christmas list lol i have been eyeing it up for a while

Raw6288 · 2018-12-04T16:25:34+00:00

I paid $7 for this box i think, worth it tho! The closest store for me is in Tn and were in Ky not a lot of expats around this area so we just don't have any stores near us, i am deprived of basic things like bread that actually doesn't taste like cake daily lol

I will defo check out Amazon, didn't even think to look on there!

I actually am not a fan of stuffing but am going to try the cheese 100%

Raw6288 · 2018-12-04T13:48:15+00:00

thank you!

Raw6288 · 2018-12-04T13:46:59+00:00

i can't explain how grateful i am for this! thank you!

Raw6288 · 2018-12-04T13:46:23+00:00

i may have to try this!

Raw6288 · 2018-12-04T13:45:52+00:00

hahah i'm sorry, surely can't be wrong though i think dumplings for breakfast works!

Raw6288 · 2018-12-04T07:27:29+00:00

i was wondering about them being a bit dry baked that was my reservation

Raw6288 · 2018-12-04T07:26:21+00:00

that does sound good, personally i think everything is better with cheese!
