I don't have many clothes. I tend to have a few things that I like and wear them a lot until they completely wear out. I hate shopping and don't have a massive budget for stuff. I like reasonable quality though, especially in jumpers- decent wool etc. So jumpers tend to be gifts or lucky finds in the Monsoon sale...
Anyway DH has form for 'accidentally' washing/ tumble drying my hand wash only stuff. Twice he has taken my favourite jumper and ruined it. One was a gorgeous silk chunky hand knit ( hugely expensive) which was a present from a generous relative. The next was the replacement for that sweater which I'd worn twice (and a gift from his DM!)
Now he has done it again. My latest jumper has got 'mixed up' with the kids stuff and tumble dried. The lovely flattering shape now finishes just above my waist and the sleeves are skin tight. We are are going away tomorrow and I have nothing to replace it with except a collection of crappy old fleeces ( which will I suppose keep me warm).
Any suggestions on how I can stop this happening? I am not going to ban DH from laundry duty and I am not going to wear only indestructible woolies. I generally try to keep my things separate but he can be over zealous rounding up things to make up a load...
Failing that any suggestions on how to ram it home to him how much this pisses me off and how expensive his lack of care is becoming.
