I've Had It!!

[PhilCornwall]

After a happy 20 years of marriage, today I think it is coming to an end.

I've just shrunk my wife's favourite cardigan. Pray for me, it could be my last day on earth!!

Ach, you'll be fine just as long as you don't tell her to slim into it!!

FYI my dh shrunk my new mother's day hi-gear fleece camping top.
He says the sofa is quite comfy....

Can you not just order her another one to preempt it a bit?

I can't hide the evidence, I've been busted as she took it out the machine.

I'm getting the death stare!!

Oh dear nice knowing you man.

Can you pass the buck and blame it on another unsuspecting family member?

Are you trialling strategic incompetence Phil?

Sadly I can't, our sons don't know what a washing machine is, or a dirty laundry basket.

Oops!!! It's not looking good, especially as she got it out 😳
Tell her that belongs to one of your dd, neices, granddaughters, whoever any random female family member and you sent hers for dry cleaning?
And order a replacement ASAP!?!?

It's now on the line like a flag at half mast

Depending on the material you could potentially save it.

Google the specific material and how to unshrink and hopefully

Either that or change your name and start anew somewhere else!

Hi everyone to put this in context, this item is a lambswool cardigan which should have been on the wool cycle or handwashed. I have had the cardigan for many years and is well loved. Yes it was lovely to see the sweatshirts in the machine ( one black one as well 😲), but absolutely gutted to have seen this shrunk. Yes I have given @PhilCornwall the death stares but he's promised to leave the sweatshirt washing to me in future.

Haha! Welcome to the thread

Like I said look online as you may be able to get it back to the correct size again lorn.

our sons don't know what a washing machine is
Just as well, by the sound of it

I think it's fullers earth that helps relax the fibres. Then you just gently stretch it as it dries flat. But do check.

I'm hoping an afternoon out and two large glasses of red at our favourite beach bar gets me off the hook, maybe another in the garden in a minute.

I'm hoping it's not the sofa for me tonight!!

Tell her she can choose herself another one at your expense.

Hmm, I wouldn't get your hopes up just yet Phil. You need to find and buy her a replacement asap or your new abode could be the shed.

I think I will be banished from the marital bed

Maybe practice a decent Full Monty routine? A sense of humour may win her over.

Funny thread.

Husband did this when we were first married. I told him he needed more practice with the washing and needed to do it all from then on.
Somehow, 30 years later, the washing had become my responsibility again.
Sneaky bastardised 🤨

@lorn195, go easy on him and assign him all the washing from now on as punishment 😁

I'm going to have a go at stretching it a bit, well I can't make it any worse, I hope!!
