My better half Joan is off doing some crafts and I thought I'd surprise her and do the laundry.
Now the machine is flowing over with suds and some beeping alarm is going off like mad. I've turn the power off but have not idea what to do. Guess I'll start by cleaning the soap off the floor.
LOL Gerty. That's just what I did. Nothing like a nice shiraz buzz on a cold wet saturday arvo.
Sheba, just one scoop full. But apparenty we don't actually fill this oversized scoop. One is only meant to fill it 1\4. I was going to ask why don't we just use a smaller scoop...but then I thought better of it and just poured her a glass of red too. I've learned to pick my battles long ago.
When in doubt, read the instructions. Grasp bottle firmly in hand. Use other hand to remove cork or stopper or cap. Put cap in bin, grasp glass with spare hand, pour wine into glass. Take large "sip", then return to laundry to read those instructions again. Return to bottle to replenish empty wine glass. After second glass of wine, instructions on washing machine and detergent pack will make no sense at all, and all efforts to do the laundry should be abandoned until help arrives. Pour "help" a glass a wine and watch procedure closely for future reference. If necessary, take notes. (Maybe not). Now, move away from the laundry. Back! Back! Keep going! Now turn and walk away with bottle in one hand, glass in the other, with a clean conscience, knowing you made the effort and did your best.

I'm inclined to agree. Blokes have a tendency to sabotage their own efforts in an attempt to get them banned from such duties. When the "other half" is absent for any length of time, how do you cope then?

We both tend to have some jobs that just one does. I do all the shopping and 90% the cooking. But the laundry and ironing...for some reason i just don't touch it.

Yeah my wife and I share as well, She does the cooking, I do the eating... She tidies up, I mess things up... Perfect combination I think..
I must be letting the male side down then cause i always did the domestic engineering while she went to work.....ha ha ha
I am now single and do not own an IRon or IRoning Board, the only "I" thing I own is an IPhone.....
As for the washing its easy peasy....when ya do the dishes just do the clothes at the same time in the same machine just bung it in the hole at the front bung in some detergent and press start........ (wonders why the plates are all broken and the cups are all cracked.....ah thats what paper n plastic is for )....
I've got a nice clever manproof front loader, and if i get super lazy I just take it down the laundromatt and get them to do it for me..... he he he
Hoo Roo Happy Days
