I was wondering if anyone knew of a pick and delivery laundry service in the area (not for nappies, for clothes etc). We're having our kitchen extended, the washing machine is out of action and I can't bear the thought of getting baby, pram and laudry to a laundrette! Any recommendations would be gratefully received. Thanks, LeilahB

launderette on lordship lane,, right next to william rose butcher. we are in the same situation - w/m is out as kitchen is being redone and just drop off and pick up a bit later (you can do it yourself but saves us time, you pay a bit extra for the service but they give it back to you nicely folded, so i just pay the extra fee).

Don't rule out the laundrette, there are quite a few in ED and lugging the stuff there isn't all that bad, even with a pram. Could always do service washes and get your partner to collect the washing when ready, so you only have to drop off.


With service-wash and pick-up laundry services, watch out that you don't send anything that can't be tumble-dried - they won't check labels and we have had some sad shrinkages! Is lovely when it comes back all nicely folded.


Am a long-time user and fan of laundrettes (first-floor flat with no garden, no tumble dryer, husband who generates ridiculous amount of washing with sports etc. and baby who loved pulling washing down from drying racks). Therapeutic to watch the giant dryers......


Need to get out more!

    • Which is why I was careful to specify "the true definition"! A bit like "dilemma", generally used for any tricky decisions but should really be where there are only two options, both with equally bad outcomes...
    • I raise your pedantry. Language evolves and Merriam Webster gives the meaning as "drastically reduced especially in number." The word originally derived from the Roman practice of killing every tenth soldier in a mutinous army but I'm sure nobody uses the word in that context now.
    • Thanks all for the replies.  When the roofer come to look at the roof more recently,  there were holes in the felt in the same place that the original leak had been,  as well as where the new leak is.  There doesn't seem to be a reason why a hole the the felt was the cause of one leak and not the other.  It would have been good to have got everything sorted at the same time,  rather than having to put scaffolding up again.  But my main issue is around the vagueness of a 10 year guarantee.  After work was done the first time,  the roofer gave us a summary of the work and just wrote '10 Yr guarantee' after, without specifying what exactly that means.   If a roofer comes and doesn't diagnose the problem quite right (which i imagine is common with roofs, given it's not always clear what's causing a leak), the guarantee doesn't seem to apply. But anyway,  we'll be getting a different roofer, because we think he should have checked the felt under the tiles the first time round.  
    • We used to feed the birds, but once the parakeets discovered this they just took over, scaring away all the other species and eating everything in sight. I tried scaring them away with a Nerf gun, but they just didn't care. I know it will open a can of worms (no pun intended) but I really think  the parakeet population needs to be reduced; yes they are pretty, but they are just like a plague of locusts when it comes to food supplies.  PS apologies for pedantry @malumbu but the true definition of "decimate" is to reduce by a tenth... 🫤
