Do you add anything to make your clothes smell good?

mermaidivy @mermaidivy (15394) • United States 8 Sep 09

nancygibson I think many of the washing powders or liquids in the shops smell terrible, really artificial, but some smell really nice. Like you I like to smell them all to find out which is worth buying.

nancygibson Sounds like a really useful friend to have. What will you be doing for them if they re-upholster the chairs for you? I always like being able to barter skills with friends, much nicer than using money.
