Crossing the list off
admin July 7th, 2008
Determined to get some of the things crossed off of my list, I finally got around to hand-washing some of my clothes.
My long sleeved hoodie top (more like a jumper), 2 pairs of stockings, my shorts… and my red/black lace up g-string (which I wondered long and hard about whether I should or shouldn’t wash… in case dad sees it). Oh well, in it goes.
Not sure what some of the instructions actually meant, I dumped them one by one in the basin full of cold water and added an arbitrary amount of washing powder and started washing them.
I had trouble with one particular; that thick hoodie- I had rinsed it about 5 times with clean water yet soapy water still runs through. Getting a bit impatient, I commented it to dad.
“How many scoops did you use for those 5 articles?” he asked.
“A quarter of a scoop?” (I hadn’t the heart to tell him I actually used half a scoop…)
“That’s too much!”
Oops! I’ll keep that in mind…
