My missus does that all the time, it don't half wind me up

She always forgets to check her pockets so car keys, house keys, credit cards have all been taken to the cleaners, so to speak.

She even left her brand new £80 watch in a pocket last year............ was a hard way to find out it was only splash proof!!!!!

Nails are good......well, good for trashing all the clothes in the machine anyway.

Tumble drying (if the clothing permits) might be a solution the tumble and blowing removes the tissue paper catching it on the filter....

A strange blue light was glowing in the washer last week, on a closer inspection I could see it was my brand new mobile phone.

Mrs RaR's Petzl Tikka plus went round in the washer once - it still works.

After I do the washing and a tissue comes out of the wash, Mrs RaR always says "did you check the pockets" ?

My reply is always  "yes, when I took my clothes off, did you"?

The only washing I do now is blacks or coloured (sounds like South Africa!) however my ex's definition of 'white's' got me into so much trouble......

...You then have to shake all the clothes before you hang them up AND THEN vacuum the carpet afterwards AND THEN the ensuing argument...it all becomes frighteningly inconvenient!...
