Mr C once phoned me at work to ask how to use the machine. This is a guy who strips engines, gearboxes and such like. We had been married about 20 years at this point. Everybody in the office got worried for me and asked the same question "why does he need to suddenly need to learn machine so urgently".
He has started suggesting he helps me with the machine as I am struggling to sort, load and empty it at the moment. Thankfully he has not actually put the offer into practice enough to ask where the machine is yet. I wish he would start by putting his laundry in the basket but it is only 40 years so far. It may take a bit longer to get him to that stage.
I usually do the tissue thing with black trousers but that is because it is in the trouser pocket and most trousers are black. Do they come in other colours?
