Another neighbour/washing moan from me

24 replies

Wallace · 18/05/2007 15:41

My neighbour is waiting for a new washing machine to be delivered, so I offered to do some of her washin in my machine. I took it over to her yesterday evening in my washing basket. I asked her to pop the basket over the fence when she was done. Almost 24 hours later I still don't have a washing basket. Which is rasther inconvenient seeing as I am on my sixth load of washing today.



I could go and ask for it back, but that isn't the point

I bet she looked at you funny too.

I bet she's on the phone right now telling everyone "I've still got her washing basket, hehehe"

I love my new washing basket - didn't cost me a penny. What a bargain!

Well, I have sort of got two... my other one is a tesco home delivery crate thing

I try not too use it too much otherwise it is tempting to let folded washing pile up in there

Not odd Imawurzel, I've got two too. Although one is full of books to be put on Amazon when I can muster up the energy.

I've got about four laundry baskets. Purely because I fill them with clean laundry, then park said laundry somewhere and forget about it. Then have to go buy new basket and pants and socks for my daughter as can't find old laundry basket.

It's handy when I know where all of them are and I have one of those pregnant 'must wash everything on the entire planet!' days though

I use the big reusable shopping bag (mine's a Lidl one) - folds up into the cupboard when not in use and weighs nothing.

How on earth did this get ressurected from over a year ago?!

I wonder if Wallace has her washing basket back yet?

Just go and ask for it back. She's probably forgotten. Or maybe she's run off with it. Was it a nice one?

I have no memory of this, isn't that weird? Hmm

I must have got it back because i still have the same one!
