Guilty of money laundering!!!

Hiya Wizzy, Nice to see the Queen still smiling. When I was five and I saw her for real she had such a beautiful smile too. But what get´s into my Washer if I am negligent? Those Paper Hankies they are a real pain. One of my Sons uses them all the time and I am forever having to be on guard to make sure they don´t get into that Washer the sneaky little things. If they do get in they wreak havoc and leave your Clothes looking like they have just got a bad bout of Acne that you would not remove with Clearasil. Second worst are the cotton sports socks that if you let them mix with the nylon ones they leave loads of bits that are even harder to shift you have to pick them off yourself. So I separate quite a lot of Washing considering. That has happened to me too a ten euro note and a twenty euro note went for a wash in somebodies jeans and the King came out well not smiling like the Queen but with a serious stance looking at me as if to say what the hell am I doing in here? He could do with editing a note where he comes out with some sort of Mona Lisa grin at least. In real life he is note like that at all with that straight face like a poker so it does not favour him at all. I kept the notes for a while and I played a game as to see if anyone would reclaim them no one did so I spent it on extra food for them instead I bet they must have been wondering why is she suddenly feeling so generous? (grin). Yes it has been many moons since that last happened but I do find the odd twenty cents still now and then but very rare almost like an extinct species now.

oh you criminal money launderer you when i was a kid, i accidentally left a half-eaten pack of M&Ms in my pants when my mum was doing the laundry.. suffice to say that now i know what is red-brown-green-brown-yellow-brown-orange-brown and turns round and round... its my pants in the washing machine with M&Ms in the pocket making all the whites look like tie-dye clothes!

A couple of screws that hubs had in his pocket..he usually cleans them out..but I guess he missed that pocket..My nephew stayed with us a month..I told him to clean out his pockets..but he didn't and I didn't check..and he ended up getting a wallet and his money washed and I found 65¢ in the bottom of the washer...Don't you just hate when the socks come up missing? My grandma used to take safety pins and stick the socks together so it was harder to lose and easier since they don't have to be mated up again..after.

See what can happen when you wear pants Wizzy? The lesson here is to NOT wear pants if you can help it. I'm happy the Queen got a bath in though. It does go against the standard British principle of a weekly wash and all, but still! I once found a full grown monitor lizard in my washing machine! I think it was hiding in one of my gossamer vests? It too was very clean after all that, but gossamer didn't suit it one bit.

I usually make a little money from the laundry, usually it's coins. A couple of weeks ago, something pink sneaked its way into Naomi's basket and I didn't catch it and her stuff ended up with stains all over them. The good news is that it seems to be washing out over time...

Haha! Well done for giving the Queen a bit of a clean! I have washed money lots of times and luckily our plastic notes are made to survive this treatment as it happens so much. Once not so long ago we could not find my sons shoes anywhere when he was leaving for school so he had to wear different ones. When I returned from taking the kids to school, I went to hang out the washing as the machine had finished and there were his shoes in the machine! He had picked them up with all of his dirty clothes off his bedroom floor and put them into the washing machine as it was filling up with water and no one noticed.

Probably a used kleenex... they have a bad habit of hiding in pockets. Not sure about pound notes, but I was told that if one launders a Canadian bill, it shows up as counterfeit when held under one of those scanner lights...

The last thing was a shaving brush - which survived. It must have dropped into the laundry basket and been scooped up with everything else. I've washed a few dog poop bags - empties I hasten to add! Sometimes money and, of course, the tissue that I forgot about which then disintigrates and covers everything in white fluff! Argh!

Hi wizzywig, i will checkup all the clothes and then i will put them in the washing machine. Some times my husband will leave his papers in the pockets.
