My nephew said a lot of Uni's have launderettes on site that do service washes..so no excuse!
I think I'll send a baseball bat with him so he can stun his socks. :)

Yes the smell of that many socks makes my tummy turn!!!! yuk !!

But its their room and I only go in twice a year as my sons so far away !!!!!!!!

My sons bedroom will probably take a month to fumigate.I think even the curtains will need washing.
Why is it that sons rooms stink but not daughters?Maybe something to do with perfume ,hair products,moisturisers etc!!!!

Mine goes back on 23rd, I can reclaim my house. This is her 3rd year and it isnt no better than her 1st lol

Trouble is when they come home at the end of the year so does all the household stuff they have taken to start with, then oyu have to store it till they go again.

Then I go through the "oh i miss her " stage but glad i'm not falling over everything

pmsl

Thanks Helen-I now call my dining room...the storage depot.
I'm also keeping an eye on my CD's & DVD's don't want them to "accidently get packed" lol
Jan,looking at this lot it'd probably be cheaper to put it in storage!

Are you driving from England?
£5.30 to cross the Severn Bridge then........

You're never rich when you have student children.
We STILL have alot of their essential student items here too, many years on.

Swansea uni. gives access to a lovely area. I hope he has a great time.
