This morning cleaning expert says our pants should be washed at 60 degrees. How does that work then? If you've to wash the rest of your gear (apart from towels etc which I wouldn't wash with ma pants anyway) at a lower temp, are we just supposed to save up 50 pairs of dirty pants until you have a full load of dirty knickers? It's all very confusing you know ...

WILL THE REAL FAT SHADY PLEASE STAND UP

ThighsReIief · 17/07/2019 22:32

I seem real

ThighsRelief · 17/07/2019 22:32

Aren't you pleased I gave you that wonderful gift now?

ThighsReIief · 17/07/2019 22:32
Hmm
ThighsRelief · 17/07/2019 22:33

But wait! Do I wear toast, or eat it? Which Thigh am I?

ThighsRelief · 17/07/2019 22:34

Hey! That's my emoji! Hmm

Is it common white sliced or artisanal bread maker? DO THE DUCKS KNOW YOU HAVE A BREADMAKER? ARE THEY COMING FOR YOUR BREAD?

COMMON

Stop rubbing me with salmonella.

I'm trying to get it through your freakishly small letterbox. What's wrong with you?

I think the zoflora has dried me out a bit.

ThighsRelief · 17/07/2019 22:51

You're meant to drink it with tonic water 🏄

swimwithaview · 17/07/2019 22:52

Whilst steaming my flaps? I can’t reach it from the work surface.

If it does not require had washing then washing here is in two categories:
(i) bedding and towels.
(ii) everything else.

Tigger365 · 18/07/2019 00:35

Grin @RodGallowglass did you miss the two Thigh’s arguing with themselves? Or do you have small children and zone them out?

StarlightLady · 18/07/2019 08:14

God knows what stains the so called cleaning expert gets on her knix, maybe she doesn’t have loo paper Grin, but I don’t think the rest of us need worry!

ThighsRelief · 18/07/2019 09:33

Poo is organic and thus good.

DanglyWhoreTassels · 18/07/2019 16:51

Oh hello! Knickers again! I missed this one! Never mind I'm here now!

ThighsRelief · 18/07/2019 17:08

Hi, this is my first post on mums met, not sure how this works.

I joined up especially to say I'm disgusted.

SlocombePooter · 18/07/2019 17:11

Thigh YABU

DanglyWhoreTassels · 18/07/2019 17:27

I'm the most disgusted because I am a prude! Everyone knows that I am a disgusted, cat's-arsed faced prude!

Wash your knickers at incineration and stop contaminating others!

ThighsRelief · 18/07/2019 21:04

Well I never and in all my born days. This is not how we do things in Tunbridge Wells.

I don't understand. Don't people know how to use a shower or bath? That facility that cleans your body? Why will your towel be 'teeming with bacteria' after you dry yourself with that towel? Didn't you wash the bulk of it off in the shower?

Or don't you know how to hang up a damp towel so it dries quickly?

Miljah · 18/07/2019 21:49

Realistically, I can see how, in the way vacuum cleaners have power restrictions placed on them, an easy target will be washing machines, with good reason looking at all the 90 degree washes people are doing, with water-course flora/fauna altering Bio detergents (tho 90 deg kills them....), several times a week.

Maybe we need to be made to stop?
