    I once put washing in the machine but didn't turn it on, was going to do it when I got home.

    Got home to find my OH had hung it on the line :o

    you would have thought that even if he hadn't noticed it was still dirty he might have got a clue as it was still dry :rotfl:


    :rotfl:Many moons ago my OH did exactly the same :rotfl:

    It took a long time for him to live THAT one down :D Trouble is its just one thing in a long line of many :D He looks all sheepish when i tell him how gormless he is sometimes.

    Planning on starting the GC again soon :p

    I used to wash Mum's bedding for her, she always gave it me neatly folded in a carrier bag.
    I came home once and OH told me he'd "done all the ironing, even your Mums sheets" He'd only stood and ironed a load of unwashed sheets and duvet covers!!:rotfl::rotfl:

    He never learns, last week I'd left a top on the radiator airer that I'd only had on for a couple of hours and he'd ironed it! :rotfl:

    your washing should be fine - when i run a cleaning cycle i am amazed at the lather - and I have reduced the detergent!

    Towels and bedding should be washed at 60 degrees to kill any nasties - according to kim and aggie - and my mum
    :jFlylady and proud of it:j

    Don't your towels shrink at that temp? Mine shrink if I look at them in the wrong way!! Would love to wash them hotter - what make are yours?
