New Year but there's still the washing.....

It's amazing isn't it.  A New Year sweeps in full of hope and bounty, making us sweep away the dust and cobwebs of 2014 and bring out all those resolutions and promises for the coming year.

But there is one thing that never changes.  Clothes are still worn and still  need to be washed.  I so wished I could have had the robotic housewife I asked Santa for, but twas not to be.  Sure I love my jewellery and boots Absent Husband gave me, but my very own housekeeper would have been the icing on the cake.

Talking of Absent Husband - he's around a lot these days and whilst helpful and useful (read IT support), he does seem to manage to walk passed the washing machine with not so much as a brief glance.

So unless someone invents the housewife robot, or clothes that don't get dirty, or heaven forbid a child helpful and keen, I guess I will just continue with loading and washing and drying and folding and ironing.
