it's not hard if you put a load in the washer before you leave and then put it in the dryer when you get back. (disclaimer: "doing laundry" does not include folding)
I’ll take your word for it. I’m not allowed to touch the washing machine. It’s Mrs AFB domain. Our old machine was simple enough. This one is complicated.
After work had a quick catch up with a friend on the phone.
Also had my Amazon delivery turn up. So a nice new small wallet and iPhone case.
My husband only touches the washing machine when it needs to be fixed.
My mother had a wonderful trick re washing machines.Tried and failed on that score. Some idiot (me!) left ÂŁ1 coin in their trouser pockets. Took the machine apart as Mrs AFB saw it drop out of the drum when she unloaded. All I did was create a leak. Had a guy come and repair it.
On a similar note our fridge freezer decided to stop working briefly twice yesterday. Not good. It’s just over two years old so hopefully covered in the warranty.
Once, around the time she retired, or, not long before that, they bought a nice, new, stylish washing machine.
She took one look at it, and said to my father, "you are brilliant at working out how these complicated electrical things work; why don't you find out how it works, and tell me."
So, that is exactly what he did, only to find himself still doing all of the washing (quite willingly, I might add) nearly fifteen years later when he was diagnosed with the cancer that killed him.
