So happy Saturday, guys.
Our shop is shut today and I have a bar good.
Ponty Pool is open.
I should have said that first thing this morning.
So yeah, we've been sorting through this massive donation.
It's huge it is.
It's been meaning to sort through it for a while, but we've been putting it off and putting it off.
And it's all mixed up.
So rather than take... and unfortunately there's like cosmetics have been in the bags as well and some have leaked, so I've got two bags of washing out of it.
Rather than take them down the shop and then have to bring them back, we thought we'd have the Saturday off and do it here and be able to minimise it then.
So yeah, it's all lovely stuff.
Kids stuff, adults stuff, a couple of nice handbags in there, a couple of designer stuff as well.
But unfortunately we've got a bit of a leak.
So it's probably about two green bags of washing.
But we'll wash it.
So we're just waiting on the weather now.
We can put them all out on the line then, can't we?
Because the cosmetics have dried on the clothes, you know, because we've left it for so long.
So it's not like it's all wet or whatever.
So we'll have a look.
But my tumble dryer blew up, so we gave it in for scrap.
I think it went into the... yeah, I think Darren had it to go to his bed.
It was full bank at the time.
But I decided, because the prices were going up, to not get another tumble dryer.
But oh god, isn't it awful at the moment, guys?
I'm trying not to wash anything.
I mean, I wear the same thing all the time because I'm down west of the shop and we're constantly building or cleaning or whatever.
So I just think, well, I wear the same thing.
So, you know, only one thing is getting wrecked down there.
So we've been quite lucky and like, you know, we haven't got little kids or anything we've got to wash for.
But it's been a nightmare.
Well, we have had to wash, like, essential stuff.
I've had to get an airer.
And I'm airing it in the bathroom because that's the smallest room and it gets quite hot in the bathroom.
So I've been airing it so that that's the way I've been drying it, like.
I don't want to put all of my radiators because then my radiators will get damaged.
I have got the ones that clip on the radiator, but oh, I've got to move all the stuff out, like, you know, all the furniture.
It's hard work, isn't it?
But I'll be glad when spring comes now and we can put up a washing line in the garden and dry everything.
I don't know why everybody else is managing.
And what's it costing today now to run a tumble dryer if you had three or four loads of washing?
Mine was quite old, so it was probably non-efficient and you couldn't overfill mine at all.
It wouldn't dry at all.
It would just go round for hours on its own, like.
But yeah, what a nightmare, isn't it, now, waiting for spring to come so we're all warm, blooming, all defrosted and we can dry our bloody clothes.
Isn't it awful?
