Having someone else do my laundry for about a dollar a pound. No more buying detergent, waiting around, having to find change if you don't have your own washer/dryer, loading/unloading, folding, etc.
- tome 17y agoI wish this kind of service was available in the UK. It doesn't seem to be a popular thing to offer, at least not in my town.

- iuguy 17y agoIf you check your local newspaper you'll find people offering ironing services, you should try ringing them up and asking if they'll do laundry as well, then you get your laundry washed and ironed.

- nfnaaron 17y agoLaundry: big time saver. I only use it occasionally (it's $/# where I go), because it seems extravagant to pay another human to handle my underwear all the time, but when I've run out of time it's great. There were two in my local area, one laundry stopped offering the service. I assume the labor was too much to support the service, vs all other costs for that particular business. I expect this service to gradually disappear. Windows desktop: I like http://virtuawin.sourceforge.net/ http://virtuawin.sourceforge.net/ , provides multiple desktops. It's the only one I've tried that I didn't eventually uninstall in disgust.
