Lordy no. My grandmother didn't either but she would place them under the lounge cushions and sit on them. Just as good. For the record I don't do this kind of lounge ironing. If something needs ironing, it isn't being purchased in the first place. Just fold it directly from the line!

Ha, mtvbishop, I know what you mean re decisions! I was originally looking at Oliveri Sonetto but also read the bad reviews. So I have ended up going for Tech200 with removable drainer. Just received via Toll Transport today from Melbourne - yet to be installed but looks good! I also bought the drainer which has rubber feet underneath and is designed to either sit next to and slope into one of the double bowls or on top of one of the bowls. Viv from The Sink Warehouse, with apparently 40 years’ experience in the sink business told me the product is good. I searched EVERYWHERE for what I wanted and finally found it. Hope it’s a better sink that the Oliveri option. Even in these COVID times the goods arrived in less than a week from Dandenong to Adelaide.

disappointing that your landlord is not more responsible and more difficult if you're at work and your partner is not well: if there's no legal agreement about who owns what and you've been told to "deal with it" disposing of anything that you can't use or is not obviously valuable...it's not safe to raise the washing machine without a specialised washing machine stand and it will be more comfortable left on the floor to use the top of the machine as work space... try the simplest cheapest options and keep only the essentials on a shallow lower shelf and hopefully the top shelf may have room for some of the culled boxes from the bedroom...check out the various shelf options in the on line Bunnings etc catalogues ..unfortunately the paint can't go in the bin so make sure the lid is secure and with the help of some hefty friends carefully enclose the paint can in plastic garbage bags (in case of spills), load it in the boot of the car (supported by something to keep it upright) and take it to the nearest recycling garbage tip...hopefully the worst that will happen is the owner will need it replaced if/when she wants to do more painting.. if you need an oven it could be worth finding out the cost of a repair but it could also be no more costly to consider buying your own convection microwave and use the old cleaned out unworking oven for storage of some of the stuff out of those boxes...for the rotting kitchen bench there's a product called "builders bog" that can fill in all sorts of horrible problems and then (carefully covering all the other surfaces use a cheap can of (red?) spray paint to at least make the bench look a bit better and, one box at a time you can take control of the situation, best of luck to you

Does anyone have any experience of a wall mounted cupboard, that the ironing board folds down? I have found a Robin Hood version, available from Bunnings, but am keen to see any to compare. Thank you in advance for any replies
