Last week I am doing laundry and the machine gets to a certain part in the cycle and it doesn't make it's usual noise.
"Wonderful!" I think "Maybe it fixed itself."
No such luck. I minute later I smelled a burning, hot rubber smell. I turned it off immediately. Last think I needed was a fire or something blowing up.
I proceeded to empty the washer, which was full of water, with a coffee mug with a handle on it in to a metal bowl and when the bowl was full I emptied it into the sink. Then I had to ring out all the clothes and put them in the dryer into 2 loads so I didn't over-tax the pryer too. This was the ONLY time I regretted washing in cold water. My hands were quite numb!
I bought a new washer (and got almost $200 off - sweet!) and we will pick it up later this week.
Until then, I had to wash a few essentials that couldn't wait until the weekend.
So I washed a load of clothes in the bath tub. with no wash board. Pumpkin tried to help wash, but ended up just playing with socks in the water. Then she tried to ring them out, by swinging them around in the bath tub. We both got very wet! Boo tried to help by taking the already rung-out clothes to the dryer.
the most difficult part was agitating everything with a broom handle. I must have looked quite a site!
But thankfully, my washer is ready to be picked up and on Friday it will be here!
