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"

Wallace · 18/05/2007 15:45

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

Wallace · 18/05/2007 15:49

I got 2.

One for stuff when it comes out of washing machine and the other i put dry folded up stuff into it when i'm swapping stuff on the airer. Am i odd??

Wallace · 18/05/2007 19:36

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

Wallace · 18/05/2007 19:37

so you're not odd

Imawurzel · 18/05/2007 19:39

Coolio.

MrsSpoon · 18/05/2007 19:41

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.

oh just ask for it back, she's probably forgotten! ive had my friend's pasting table for 6 months ish, ive got so used to seeing it, its like a part of the furniture. keep thinking "oh yes, must take that back" and then promptly forget.

Washersaurus · 18/05/2007 20:02

I just use several of those blue 25p ikea bags for my mountains of laundry

Wallace · 18/05/2007 20:09

LOl at pasting table. Ikea bags - good idea.

Just remembered she also has a spanner she borrowed a couple of weeks ago

MrsWho · 18/05/2007 20:38

katyt1 · 18/05/2007 20:40

MrsWho · 18/05/2007 20:46

nightowl · 18/05/2007 21:05

she has a spanner too?

i take it back, beat her good

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.

Fluffybitoffun · 13/06/2008 12:53

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

I wonder if Wallace has her washing basket back yet?

wotulookinat · 13/06/2008 12:53

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

Wallace · 03/09/2011 20:50

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

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