      <description><![CDATA[How ridiculous- dry cleaning pillows and sheets??!<br />
The best thing about washing pillows and sheets for me is getting into the freshly made (if slightly crumpled in my case) bed and the whole thing smelling really clean and fresh.<br />
Things you get back from the cleaners never smell like that, just faintly of plastic bags and chemicals in my experience.]]></description>

<br />
[by way of explanation, that was one of my favourite &quot;platters&quot; for playing loud when my mum and dad had gone out of the house.  I used to turn up the volume and be bouncing round the house, but there's a bit in the chorus where I swear there's a bell noise that's uncannily like our old door chime.  nearly every time it would catch me out and see me running like a nutter to turn the stereo off because i thought the parents had returned and would give me a telling off for noise terrorism to the neighbours]]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I think it's great - beats the hell out of having the entire flat draped in sheets and towels drying every weekend, and takes two minutes to drop off at the laundry - not to mention the fact that at the weekends, my time is worth considerably more than £7.50!
