All is better in the land of the laundry

The washing machine repairman is here. Amen. We were the 2nd stop on the route, and good thing too because our laundry is getting pretty out of control. I knew he was coming today so I only took the kids dirty laundry to my dad's house yesterday.

At any rate he quickly located the problem. Here is the culprit:

I must confess, I should have known better.

Yvonne might recognize this, it was the string from one of the booties her mom (mum) knitted and she sent me for Sam. I was taking a shortcut. Normally I would handwash that type of stuff but our delicate cycle on the washing machine is so much more efficient and it really is good at being delicate. I also should have realized that it would have been better to put them in a garment bag before washing. I just didn't pay attention.

This isn't the first time I have bunged up the washer. The last time we saw the very same error message it was because one of the underwires came out of a bra (that I incidentally was not washing in a garment bag).

When they came to replace our burned out pump they kindly gave us a garment bag to use. And most times I do use it. The one time I don't this is what happens.

So my husband was here to help me with the repairman which meant unfortunately I couldn't fabricate any elaborate story about the whatchamacallit not lining up with the thingamajigger and that being the results that the repairman found. My husband told me with every major appliance I break my Christmas gift is getting smaller and smaller. I laugh, but it's probably going to be true at this rate. Then he told me that I probably should just wash everything in garment bags from now on.

I have an idea! How about I don't do the laundry anymore?
