I can.


I Worked in Men's Furnishings for 3 years and that is the FASTEST WAY to fold a shirt. and it also keeps the sleeves as they're supposed to be for dres shirt folding.

YES! It also means you have to teach those of us who are hopeless... especially me who just ends up rolling the fitted sheet into some form of ball and tucking it in the back of the linen closet!!

hehe I have a hint for the old fists in pockets method.I lay the sheet accross the bed, longways accross the shortside, and inside out. I stick a fist in eaco of the pockets, so that when I stretch my arms out to my sides the sheet is taught accross my chest. Tuck my chin over the edge (make sure it's tucked down as deep as your pockets), and reach out as far in front of me as I can, and fold one flap over the other, and snap it taught.

Do the same to the other side, and make sure that the long side is folded over also as deep as the pocket. pull all the pockets together and flip the secont two over the first two . Now you should have a proper rectangle to fold.

LOL seeing as my Mum used to work in a Fish N Chip shop you should see everytime after she finishes takeout or something she will wrap the paper up just like she did in the F&C shop, or even after she's read a newspaper, she will fold it up like F&C.

I love doing laundry.. laundry is my zen.. if you ship me your laundry, and a return shipping label, I will send you back clean, unscented (we have skin allergies here) neatly folded laundry ^.^ I just don't iron though
I'm found to be highly dangerous with an iron.

Hmmm, I think I'll just move next door to you... much easier than mailing, and for folded laundry (what's folded!?!?!) it will be worth it

Sure, sure, promises promises.

you better beleive you're coming here.. If I have to move up there, the laundry that has to be hung would freeze and shatter, and that's not an effective way to launder anything, no sir.

Crazy freezing weather.. I'm surprised people's parts don't just snap off up there, let alone, could you imagine the sheer amount of long underwear to launder?

hehe, Actually, I like cold weather, however, I reiterate that laundering clothes in cold weather is quite trying. I met a girl from Alberta once, and she was so sweet, but told me that weather in Vancouver is like summer comparitively., lol

How long do you have to stand outside until your skin freeses right now?

Haha! Its -21C right now so it would take quite a long time... over an hour, but when it goes down to about -40C it takes 7 minutes or something!!!
