26 January - Clothes washing

This one is boring but I still make this mistake so I should probably print it on a card in huge letters and hang it above the washing machine.

Don’t mix your washing. Ok, you don’t do it deliberately and usually it's just one rogue pair of pants /panties that will ruin a bunch of nice clothes. You didn’t see them getting in there or if you did you had one of those ‘It’ll be ok’ moments and look at it now! Why did you buy red or emerald green? Do those people that only have whites or only blacks – ok, blacks and greys which is probably some former whites - know best?

Think back how many times in your long or short life this has happened and work out some statistics of stuff that you didn't care got ruined (2%) and stuff that was expensive or much loved and got ruined (98%) since you left home… these accidents never happen when your washing is handled by your mother, and consider if this is a lesson you still have to learn?

Am afraid I don't have a funny anectdote to provide to illustrate this lesson because as I said it is a boring one and I won't waste time thinking of something to make it less so, but maybe there's some said shocked at the washing machine/drying line moment in some movie?
