The link to your laundry tips doesnt appear to be working
I’m so sorry I just realised, I have fixed the link.
Your link for the 5 laundry tips isn’t working. ????
thank you for letting me know. I have just updated the post with the link.
Link still doesn’t work. I’m disappointed! Please fix ASAP!
Oh my goodness. How rude are some people. Kat works hard for all us and lightens up many of our day. Really – get a grip!
Sorry to disspoint you Monica, I’ve only just relaised it didn’t publish with the link, I have been away on a roadtrip, just fixed it now.
Link will not open.
Thank you Janene, just updated the post with the link.
Obviously the link doesn’t work, but, no negative thoughts, no disappointment.
I googled origin energy, clicked blog, a little scroll and voila
http://www.originenergy.com.au/blog/lifestyle/how-to-love-your-laundry.html
thank you so much Rachel, I honestly didn’t realise, with so much to do for my roadtrip to country NSW this was overlooked, I appreciate you looking for it and I hope you enjoyed the tips.
Be careful, as your business expands…..not to forget the little things.
You’re laundry link doesn’t work as did the photo upload in last couple of weeks (can’t remember the actual date).
Love your daily jobs!
Your right Kerrie, such a little thing is a huge thing, the link!! I’ve just updated it, post now includes the link.
Went and had a read – I agree with the back up plan. I hang mine in the garage and am even thinking of getting a second clothes line installed in there.
Great idea, I remember when my twins were babies it was quite a hike to my clothes line, so I installed one under the patio so I was always close by and was great as I could hang clothes out in the evening too.
One thing which has saved my sanity with laundry for the past few years, is doing the washing and hanging it out anyway when it’s raining. Things like undies and other things which will be needed soon get dried on the airer inside (or hanging over doorknobs, around the edge of the laundry basket etc), but larger things that we can wait a few days for still get hung out. I figure they have to get dry eventually, and meanwhile they’re not overflowing out of the hamper.
that’s right Rachel, when it does rain on my clothes outside I don’t worry too much as the rain will start to shine eventually. Although I did this with a full line of towels, the line started to pop off the wall with all the extra weight, woops.
Seriously guys can you not work this out yourself? What did we do in the days before links??? Kat said it’s on the origin energy website – do what I did and look for it yourself – it’s not that hard!
Good for you – a little initiative goes a long way. I am yet to understand why people need to be so aggressive and rude.
xx. silly me forgetting to add the link.
I have always folded my washing as I take it off the line. Even when I had all four children at home, I folded so that there was a pile for each in the (standard-sized) laundry basket. I took off and folded the non-irons eg socks, undies and a lot of ‘play clothes’ (why bother ironing them?). Then took off the towels etc and folded them on top of the non-irons. When all four were at home, I used a second basket into which I put the ironing straight from the line. Now, with only two of us at home, the ironing is put on the top last of all and then transferred to the ‘ironing’ basket when I get back into the laundry. I have always had a rotary clothes hoist – so hang non-irons in one quarter, linen in another and stuff to iron in another (and whatever there was most of in the fourth). When I get/got a chance, I carted the laundry basket to the linen cupboard and put that all away and then placed the piles of non-irons on the appropriate bed once the child was old enough to put their own stuff away.
I LOVE my airers on wheels that go outside in the daytime and inside at night by the fire. They can be wheeled through doorways. I got mine from Hills but I have seen ones at Target as well. It is a bit fiddly in these coldest few winter weeks. I hang bedding and towels on a clothes line under the carport for a couple of days and then finish them off inside by the fire. I think if we had a large family a drier would be great for bedding and towels. The business shirts and children’s school shirts all dry on wire coathangers on a garment rack inside.
I use a clothes airer for the small stuff too. It’s also useful if it starts to rain, you can quickly grab it and bring it inside or under cover, rather than unpegging all those little pieces in the rain!
Dear organised housewife,
Please please please. Only use an apostrophe(‘) when necessary… when someone owns something (Jane’s)or when there is a missing word (e.g. she’s = she is). All other times leave them out . Use the spell/grammar check on your computer.It is better to leave out than to use bad grammar … or apostrophes. Thanks in advance and yes I do have a messy house and will check your blog regularly.
