Sue R Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 OK. I'm having a BAD day, even by MY standards. And Steve, you can laugh yourself sick if you want. Having tried to destroy life as we know it - well inter-personal communications on the Forum, at least - I set about the washing! A little background info, here. I have a passion for underwear - sorry Steve!- and have recently treated myself to some new stuff. My favourite is a sassy little set in a glorious, vibrant shade of Cerise (some of you may have some idea of what is coming...?) Well, the machine duly did it's thing and I set about pegging out. My glorious little set looks lovely on the line, but -err- my son's WHITE Calvin Klein boxers and husband's BRAND new, much loved WHITE Jasper Conran cotton shirt are now a delicate shade of cerise - even worse, the boxers have several darker cerise stripes, and the Conran shirt has a selection of darker spots around the collar. How am I going to explain this? Of course, you could say they should expect that sort of thing from me!!! We'll just have to stop buying designer gear!!

Rea Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 It's a VERY easy mistake to make Sue. I once did it on holiday to my farther-in-laws white vests and my hubby's friends white T-shirts. (made evrything a shade of yellow) We were in america where apparently nobody does that there, because the shops dont sell 'glo-white' or similar. I spent the best part of 2 days soaking the items in the bath. I was only trying to be helpful. Smile sweetly when they come home, giggle (in that girly way men like!!) and all will be well.

Beau Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 Multi coloured whites are par for the course in our household. My real speciality is the incredible shrinking trick though..................... :wacko: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hali Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 Well i think they would look nice in pale pink boxers.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beau Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 Just a shame it's not as easy to shrink bodies, isn't it. Steve, perhaps you ought to design the site so that if soemone's been logged on for longer than half an hour it flashes up with some simple exercises to keep us all fit and healthy.

Sue R Posted September 15, 2004 Author Share Posted September 15, 2004 Don't believe you!! Have taken the chicken route, and am just putting them through the wash continually. So far no success. However I'm now starting to worry about shrinkage. It might be easier to bu both new and forget, although not so interesting?? Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beau Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Sorry, been out to a committee meeting and had one too many so my brains on a go slow. Isn't there something you can buy to put in your washing which will make your whites white again or am I dreaming??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hali Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 Yes there is cant remember what its called though....Bigger question is there anything out there to restore shrinkage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rea Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 I've followed on from Sue's post because the title was apt. My dad (newly retired) came to my home while I was at work to mow the lawn. While looking out of the window after he'd left I noticed a raked patch of grass that used to be very long in which was hidden an old fish tank full of tadpoles. On phoning dad to find out what had become of said tadpoles, I discovered he'd tipped the tank out thinking it contained only sticks and stones. I have just spent the better part of half an hour, crouching over the raked garden with a spoon, collecting anything that moved. Oh bless him for his help!!!!!!!!!
