20 years ago when I was living in Garachico in a 5th floor (no lift) tiny apartment with other half and newborn son, I had to handwash everything in a marble sink with the scrubber bit, on the balcony.... had wonderful views though ...

I was the same before I could afford my first machine - it's amazing what you value when you don't have it.

Good job it was in Tenerife as everything used to drip dry on the balcony:D

this happened to a friend , not me, but she hand washed some things in the kitchen sink, including her cats toy, popped the stuff in her macine to spin, the phone started ringing so she went off to answer it, came back later closed the washing machine door & set it to spin cycle, i know , iknow you all know whats coming next, she disapeared off upstairs, but then she could hear the machine making a banging sound , came downstairs to check it out just as the spin cycle was finishing , only to see a horrified looking cat looking at her from inside the washer, the poor woman was hysterical & the cat , well apart from being a bit wobbly & dizzy for an hour , was un harmed , when she called me crying , to tell me this tale of woe, all i could think was thank god it wasn t a boil wash :playcat:

I know Someone, (not Me) who did a Wash of Football Socks and some smalls.

The Socks were Red, I';ll leave the rest to Your Imagination...

[tracy hampshire]

i laughed when she told me, really bad of me i know, but my friend is a walking disaster, it could only happen to her, myself i did wash an ex boyfriends lamb wool jumper ( which he d paid a fortune for ) in a hot wash, would have been lucky to fit action man when i d finished, he looked high & low for that jumper, luckily we had just returned from a visit to his family in holland, my answer, you stupid sod, you ve left it at your mums, i don t need to say the relationship didn t last much longer, and another little gem of wisdom while i m at it , from my granny, never ever get married tracey, cos whoever you meet , no matter how good looking, they only want sone silly sod to wash there knickers & socks xxxxx

[life is short]

Just had to share this with you all.

I’m one of three sisters. When we were all still at school (a very long time ago) we had a pet budgie. ‘Joey’ was a lovely and friendly little thing, didn’t bite anybody….all the family used to teach him to talk and whistle a couple of tunes. When my dad was reading the newspaper Joey used to sit on his glasses and balance on his newspaper.

Anyhow, one day, mum sat us all down and told us that our pet had died. My sisters and I were really upset, but I can’t remember if mum gave us a reason or not.

It was some time much later when mum did tell us exactly how our pet budgie had drowned :titanic: - in the twin-tub washing machine (told you it was a long time ago) She’d left the kitchen for a moment, whilst Joey was out of his cage as usual, and when she came back……..you guessed……he was floating in the washing machine. She didn’t have the heart to tell us at the time.

We all cry laughing about it now. :rofl: Probably just like you’re doing at this moment. :rofl:

[warbey]

That brought back memories.

My Brother brought Home a Young Crow. He used to wash every Morning in an Old Dolly Tub,

We had under a Down Spout. He stood where the Soap Holder was.

One Day He fell in..

So, I know what a loss it was........He had lived with Us about two Years...

A story from eleswhere on the internetty webby thing.:flatcap::feret::feret::feret::feret:




A couple of days ago my friends washing machine broke down, and he bought a new one. Anyway he didn’t want to pay the money for someone to come and fit it, he kept moaning and moaning about money, so as you do my response was ‘ill fit it for you!’

After all fitting a washing machine is hardly a hard task, simply fit the hot and cold feed, how hard could it be?

Not a difficult task at all I told myself, but I was stuck for room, so we moved the gas cooker out the way to make the job an easier one.

We even switched off the gas and disconnected the gas cooker pipe which was a standard bayonet fitting, everything is going fine at this point, I continued the plumbing as normal, made sure I fitted everything correctly, didn’t want to let my mate down after all.

I went outside switched the gas back on, just after putting the cooker back in place. Even though the bayonet is self-sealing so in hindsight I didn’t need to switch it off, but luckily I did.

When the washing machine started there was a horrible smell of what seemed to be gas, yes I had successfully plumbed into the gas pipe!

Anyway the gas board came round and had to condemned most of his homes gas fittings they were that out of date, so just doing my mate a favour cost me a fortune!

This is spooky :flatcap:
Just a short story here and it is true. I'm not a believer in ghosts and not an easy guy to scare but this did the trick. I'll tell you in advance that I don't have an answer to what happened but would like to hear your thoughts. It's all true and a major puzzle to me.

Our top loading washing machine is in the basement, it's a nice basement not a dark, spooky place. The room has bright lights and because it's in the basement there is no way to enter this room from outside the house. Okay, here we go At least a half dozen times in the past year I've gone done to put the wash into the dryer after the washing time should have long elapsed. Imagine my surprise to find the wash not finished and the top cover/lid of the washing machine up. The fact that the lid is up means that the washing cycle has not been completed. Each time I just scratched my head and wondered how this could happen.

Just the other day it happened again. This time as I went back into the wash room I switched on the light and looked to see the top up once again. But this time I heard something move in the room. It was the sound like a dog would make if you woke him from sleeping and he bounced up, we don't have any pets. The hair on my arms went straight up as I looked around the room but I never found anything.
