Title: An interesting week
Post by: tizaala on April 14, 2013, 12:15:25 pm
My week just got better still, I mean what else could possibly go wrong ?
 After all , two dead goats one dead lamb, and a chicken are more than enough for one week.

So , with the Gabster's imminent arrival this evening , I thought I would spend yesterday doing 3 weeks washing up, laundry and dust re-arranging etc . I even changed the bed and washed the duvet.......managed to ram it into the washer and get the lid closed, all good so far.

When the program finished I levered it out and got it into the tumble dryer ,result.
So , a wee while later , I opened the tumbler door .......OhshitOhshitOshit. I thought a swan had crashed into an angel , there were just mountains of white feathers spilling out onto the floor and being swirled through the air by the draught under the door. What a mess. Found the duvet shell had a large rip.
I had to empty the Henry 4 times before I got the last one out of the tumbler, thank goodness for wheelie bin liners.

(Note to self , do not buy duck down duvet next time) :rant:
