Agh: laundry help

Options
Agh. Husband decided to put the net curtains in a 95 degree wash.

Have come home halfway through the cycle. Don't care about those being ruined - they are horrible things anyway.

:mad::mad::mad::mad:But he has put my PALE LINEN TROUSERS and a load of white cotton-type tops in the same load. Crazy man. Agh.:mad::mad::mad::mad:

Can't find anything quickly on Google and it's too late to stop the machine.

Will my best trousers be shrunk? I have hardly any work clothes left due to fluctuating weight and being too skint to buy clothes.

I am too scared to wait for the machine to finish and find out how bad it is.

Somebody please tell me I can fix this!

HELP!:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

    I found this ... it seems to say that linen with no 'special finishes' should be ok in a 95 degree wash. I wonder if it might be a good idea though to click the machine round to a gentle spin (if that's possible on your machine ...).

    Oh oh oh thank you so much!

    I may stay hopeful, at least until I have opened up and found trousers to fit Victoria Beckham...:confused:
