WHOLE house massive clean up

[@judithwoomer7747]

Hi Emma. I use my dryer on low or medium heat and never have a problem with any wrinkles. The higher the heat the worse the wrinkles are. I usually just use low heat, if they aren't dry then I just put it on again. I always put the laundry away after it's dry. I got a outside clothes line that looks like an umbrella for Christmas. A hole has to be dug and neither myself or my husband can dig the hole. Our dirt here in Texas where we live is all rocky, like shale. We live on a ridge so it's near impossible to dig a hole. My husband will do a bit at a time as his back will allow. I am excited for it to be up because I hate putting bedding in the dryer. It will be so much easier to do my bedding outside.❤❤🦋🦋❤❤🦋🦋❤❤🦋🦋❤❤🦋🦋❤❤🦋🦋

[@gettingtidy2495]

Is there anyone that can help you dig the hole Judith? I like getting my washing on the line. Is it really hot in Texas?

[@judithwoomer7747]

@@gettingtidy2495 No there isn't anyone. My husbands sister lives nearby but she has back issues. We tried a pole digger but the rocks get in the way. We can't rotor till it because it will brake the blades. The only thing we have found is to saturate the ground and dig a little. But still it's hard work. Yes. it hot here, we've had the air conditioner on for the past month. 94 degrees here today. We've had a lot of thunder and lighting and hail storms. Very scary. Tornados all over the place. Terrifying. It gets very hot, the hottest I've experienced is 115 degrees. That's why we really can't have a garden here, the heat just kills everything, no matter how much you water. That's why I get so excited to see your garden, it brings me joy! I'm very excited to get to hang my laundry out, it's just going to take time to get that hole. Love to you, Judith🦋🦋🦋🦋❤❤🦋🦋❤❤🦋🦋❤❤

Hi Emma. I tend to tidy up and clean throughout the day. Five minutes, ten minutes here and there. Returning items to the room it belongs to, at least and I tend to do 2-3 loads of washing a week.

Floor lamps here in the US tend to be quite a bit taller than your German floor lamp and they often have skinny metal or wood bases. We're more used to seeing table lamps that have ceramic bases. How great that your daughter is interested in getting rid of more stuff! If your clothes are getting very wrinkled in your dryer try putting in less clothes. My dryer does better with fewer clothes in it. When the clothes have room to move around they don't get as wrinkled. Also if I take the clothes out of the dryer immediately after it stops and fold or hang the clothes, they aren't as wrinkled. If I leave them to sit in the dryer for awhile they have more wrinkles by the time I remove them. Bed sheets are the items that usually get tangled and twisted in my dryer so I stop it halfway through and detangle them and then turn the dryer back on for the rest of the time. It sounds like you have some nice family time coming in the next few days. Enjoy! ☺💃💃💃🎶🎶

[@gettingtidy2495]

Thanks, I think I've put too much in and left it in the machine too long 🙈🙈

[@BlueBird-nf2gp]

You’re welcome. I’m guilty of doing those things too. Now that my kids are grown I have less laundry so it’s easier to do smaller loads.

[@lauramitchell6725]

Very efficient how your dining table leaf stores right in the table,I have to store mine under the bed!😖

[@lauramitchell6725]

You could try selling all of your handmade bags at your sale,for a decent price of course.

Hello Emma! Lovely to see you, on the subject of tumble dryers, I don’t find they particularly screw my clothes up but I find them useless to dry bedding, that really does ball up,for me anyway. I’m the opposite, when I line dry (which is always my preferred option) I have to iron it, when it’s been in the dryer I fold and put away😂 Remi does have some great tips doesn’t she. xx

[@gettingtidy2495]

How do you find with them drying towels?

[@pam14321]

@@gettingtidy2495 like most people I don’t use any softener in towels, line drying them in summer always makes them ‘rough’ I prefer that as they dry your skin better , in winter drying them in the tumble dryer they’re very soft and fluffy which my hubby prefers😊x

Happy Birthday (other) Emma! 🥳😊🎂🌻

Wow,at 33:50, the emerald green tiles on the dining room fireplace are as stunningly beautiful as the teal green ones in the lounge are!👌 When you have to choose between two items to keep only one,such as a pot or a vase,choose the ones that match those two colors of tile,they will just pop on the mantles!👍

[@gettingtidy2495]

It's such a tricky colour to match but I do have some flower pots which match the front room lounge 😍

Regarding putting a dryer in a spare bedroom it would have to be vented to the outside of the house otherwise the humidity will build up and could cause black mould to form.

[@gettingtidy2495]

Thanks, I don't want to get black mould!

[@zoebrindle7269]

Hiya ! Thanks for a heads up with the gardening .... a wild life garden sounds lovely, we do have lots of hedgehogs around here thanks Emma . And regarding a drier , we have a dehumidifier instead , a lot lot smaller than a drier and sooo much cheaper to run . I have it in the spare room , with two airers like yours . The clothes dry like they’ve been line dried ..... win win for me as I don’t iron either . Worth looking into ,, not as expensive as a drier I think we paid £120 and got it from a place called screw fix . Oh Emma do you have a name for that lovely shop you took us into ? Another super video thanks so much . Sending love 💐🌷

It's Sostrene Grene a Danish company. I'll be going back 😄 Thanks for commenting Zoe and for your suggestions. Hope you've had a lovely weekend.

[@lisamalone5988]

I found it interesting that you said a dryer makes the clothes wrinkly and in need of being ironed. I was wondering if you had to iron things that had been air dried! I guess it depends on the material, but I take clothes out of the dryer and give them a good shake and fold or hang them up and never have a problem with wrinkles. I also hang some of my clothes to dry, such as leggings and anything with spandex or Lycra in it. However, there are some materials that I won’t buy because I know they will need ironing.

[@gettingtidy2495]

I don't iron anything unless it's needed for an interview, wedding or formal event!

[@janicebone6191]

I have a dryer that condenses into a tank. Just empty the tank of water for every load. I then empty it after use & clean the fluff as well. Its brilliant. Good luck. From Cornwall uk

[@gettingtidy2495]

Never heard of these, thanks Janice

If you put 2 inserts in 1 cushion cover your cushions will sit better on your couch they’ll look plumper ❤

Two cushions in the cover? Thank you

Happy Birthday to the other Emma. ❤🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@carolynoquinn4573]

YES, putting in the old bedroom would be great!!!!

[@alisonchamberlain4710]

Hi Emma. We have a full size condenser dryer in an upstairs bedroom. (It used to be in the shed!) It’s not pretty but does the job. Close the door and open the window while it’s on. If you don’t overload the dryer, things shouldn’t get too creased. .

[@gettingtidy2495]

Maybe that's what I've done in the past, put too much in the machine....

[@TwinMumDiary]

Well done🥰👏🏼🧼

[@gettingtidy2495]

Thank you!

[@helenpalmer1094]

Condenser driers are very good, just put the water out of the container down the bathroom sink so you dont have to go downstairs, or ive watered my plants with it .

[@gettingtidy2495]

I forgot I'd have water to empty out!

[@brookhowell8841]

I know I had voted previously that you clean your bedroom next. If your husband is available to help you sort and to fix his drawer, that would be good. Otherwise, it sounds like your shed needs a good clean out so you are able to garden and later paint your house more efficiently. When I was still teaching I had my students correct their mistakes and I rechecked them. So the format your daughter has is interesting.

[@gettingtidy2495]

Really need to sort that draw it's making my clothes situation even worse. I'm going to get some paint from my shed!

[@brookhowell8841]

You have shared is that your daughter has to do revisions. This is why I mentioned my students corrections

[@Cookmomx3]

Cocktail sticks??? You mean toothpicks...lol. So funny both countries different lingo... I was so confused while by kept saying that with the bathroom faucet and then now the kitchen...lol😍😘😎

[@gettingtidy2495]

Toothpicks are only toothpicks if they are on a restaurant table 😂😂 Funny thing is you do sometimes see them, but not often as most people in England consider it rude to pick your teeth with them at the table 😀 Do you not have anything called cocktail sticks?

[@brookhowell8841]

If I were you, I would be more interested in a heated drying rack then I would a dryer. It would take less power and could be put away. Many Americans complain that they forget their clothing in the dryer. I know I do!

[@gettingtidy2495]

I forget my washing in the machine as well 🙈

Being from LA originally, I just have to ask: "what is the burrito-in-a-box" in your daughter's room? HAHA! I laughed out loud! Are they burrito socks, or a burrito making kit?

Ha ha so funny. It's "throw throw burrito" a game where you throw the burrito at the other person 😅😅 Needs to go in the play room

[@carolynoquinn4573]

You're probably going to lift/tilt your bed up to fix the drawer?

Revised you mean "studying"? Lol

[@angelajthorpe]

Exactly! Every time I heard revised/revision, I wondered what those kids were having to change/fix BEFORE an exam.

[@gettingtidy2495]

Generally "studying" is used more for university for example "She's studying medicine" or you study throughout the year then revise for your exam but people don't really use the word studying for younger children....
