MY WORD OF THE WEEK.
Washing
I’ve been back four days and already I’ve done endless amounts of washing. I thought I’d done so well. We went to the laundrette a couple of days before coming home and put our dirty holiday clothes in the huge machines and tumble dryers. Just one hour later it was all clean and dry and no sand to bring home.
What we used after than I packed away in one suitcase while putting the clean clothes away in others. Nicely sorted for when we get home.
So why is it that I’ve not stopped washing all week?
We did have a lovely holiday despite it not being the hottest of weeks, we only had one day where we were stranded in the caravan. We managed to fit in so much and we all came home ready for a rest…well, apart from all the washing!
We are gearing ourselves up for an exciting weekend as we approach birthday number 4 in six weeks. Star is fourteen on Saturday and she’s chosen her favourite birthday treat, a visit to Pizza Hut!
Apparently it’s going to be a nice sunny weekend, fingers crossed.
Now it’s your turn, come and tell us what you have been up to this week.
There always seems to be huge amounts of washing to do after a holiday even when you try and reduce it by doing some while you’re away! We do the same with putting dirty clothes in one suitcase and clean ones in the other. Hopefully you’ve also had good drying weather for it too. Hope Star has a lovely 14th birthday. Thanks for hosting #WotW x
Yes, the weather has been good for drying 🙂 Stars birthday was fab, thanks. x
It sounds like you had a lovely holiday, there’s always the inevitable washing mountain when you get home it really is unavoidable. Another birthday wow! It must be lovely to have lots of things to celebrate though, I love how you let the kids choose their birthday treat. I hope this weekend is a restful one for you with a lot less washing to do x
The washing is never ending with a family of 7, I swear I spend 2 hours a day folding it, lol. Star missed out on her birthday Pizza last year because we were coming home from holiday, so it was good to enjoy it again. x
That is a great idea going to the laundrette before you came home.
The washing always seems to be never ending doesn’t it!
Ohh! Happy birthday to Star! I hope you have a fab meal out.
We had a lovely meal thanks…we even got an extra pizza free because they messed up the toppings…we were all so stuffed. x
Glad you had a good holiday. Neat idea to do a load of washing before you left. We always bring so much sand back with us, despite my best efforts. Hope Star has a wonderful birthday. 14 already.
We did well with the sand. The beach shoes are still sitting in a bag though…

Oof! I have plenty of laundry to do after our travels too. I’ll start on it tomorrow! 🙂
Mine’s all done now, i’m back to the regular mountain. At least the weather is good for drying 🙂
My washing baskets are like the magic porridge pot.. always filling themselves back up after I empty them! so far the weekend is lovely!
ditto Karen x
I got down to the bottom of the laundry basket this weekend after days of lovely weather to dry all the washing – it’s a great feeling! #MMBC
