Check your washing machine doors

Just posting this as a heads-up to check your washing machine door won't open mid-cycle. There was a horrific story last year in the news about a 3 yo managing to open the washing machine mid-cycle and get inside, and losing an arm :(

A tragic, freak occurrence, but my best mate told me today her 2 yo managed to open her machine mid cycle too! She was beside her at the sink and got a real fright. The machine is less than 6 months old and it's been repaired, it was showing as locked but clearly wasn't. Worth checking your own to make sure!

I've started sticking my washing basket in front of the washer, it's one of the tall ones so completely covers the door. DS is a fiend for pressing the buttons and changing the programme mid-cycle which is why I do it but after reading that I'll be keeping it up! It doesn't stop him but it slows him down enough for me to figure out what he's up to.
