Laundry | But I Smile Anyway...

Finally!

We have got rid of the fire hazards that were our Hotpoint machines!

(Well to say got rid of, they are still here, in the summer house waiting to be picked up by a scrap merchant!)

And my new space age Samsung models are now installed!

They look all funky and cool, and they are musical! They play a little tune at the end of a cycle! But oh my, the amount of options there are!

I am so confused! You need a degree in manual reading and deciphering to start off with!!!

But hey, it’s all good! I am pressing buttons and finding things that look like they are doing the right thing! And the machines are eco-friendly too, so that is wonderful!

Ever seen someone so excited to be doing laundry? Sorry, but I am one such individual… and you should see me when it comes to ironing!

Excuse me while I go and drool over my new machine!

I pulled out my washing from the dryer yesterday… And noticed a lovely yellow hue on certain items, including 8 kids vests, one white tee-shirt, a pair of Hubby Dearest’s sicks, and four school shirts…

The victims!

Damn that yellow belt! Lil Man passed his karate grading and is now a yellow belt, and, as with all his belts, I washed it to soften it for tying next week.

The culprit?

Then as I continued the unload process, I located the real problem… Not any one else, but my fault!
I love wearing katengas to bed as it gets warmer, Kenyan kaftans and they are usually tie dyed… Not with color fast dye… And one was in the load…
