Di is our host for Share Your World where we answer three or four questions every Monday.

Here are the questions for this week:

1.   Do you use an ‘air freshener’ in your home/car/office? (solid, gel, spray, pot pourri, etc)

Not all the time. Sometimes I do. I know that the house probably smells a bit “doggy” because our pets live inside but most of the time we don’t really notice it. On nice days I’ll open the door and let some fresh air in or run the fan component of the heat pump to circulate some fresh air. I have spray air fresheners I can use if I want to do a bit more. When I was trying to sell my old house I often used to burn scented candles to make it smell better.

2.   How often do you clean the oven or microwave?

I don’t really have a schedule for it. I clean the microwave fairly regularly but the oven not so often. My oven is only a few months old and I don’t use it as much as the microwave. I was just thinking when I used it today that I should give it a clean before it gets too bad.

3.   Do you use a fabric conditioner in your laundry and/or fragranced tumble drier sheets?

No. The main thing that I use fabric conditioner for is conditioning doll hair. I have read that using fabric softener can make towels and tea towels less absorbent so I prefer not to use it. I have got drier sheets but I don’t use them in the dryer. I bought them to clean the oven shelves so I guess I will be wanting them soon.

4.   If you have the choice, do you prefer to get your laundry dry outside on a line or use a tumble drier?

I prefer to dry the laundry out of doors as I think that hanging things outside makes them smell fresher. It also saves me money. I do have a dryer. Geeveston was a very wet town in winter and it would have been impossible to get things dry without it sometimes so we bought a dryer for those wet weeks. However, if the weather is dry the washing goes outside. I do admit that I like finishing the towels off in the dryer as they come out nice and soft.

Gratitude:

I thought I would do something different this week and post a meme.
