...that Oscar had a pen in his jeans pocket when it went into the wash?
...what a mess a pen in a dryer will make and how it will manage to get a spot of ink on every single piece of clothing?
...that the ink will stick to all of the inside of the dryer and will not wash off?
...that the supermarket doesn't sell metholated spirits?
...that a bottle of hairspray (the kind that puts holes in the ozone layer) would become my best friend as after trying numerous cleaning products it was the only thing that worked (like magic)?
...that after spending an hour with my head in the dryer using 2/3 bottle of hairspray I would no longer feel quite so angry, only a little giddy? (Ok, that I should have thought about!)
...that after hairspraying and washing the inside of my dryer (I was little concerned by the stickiness and combustability of hairspray) and using an old pillowcase as a test run, that 2 1/2 hours had passed since I went down to put another load on?
So much for getting on with things today. But if this ever happens to you, seriously, the hairspray is amazing.
Let me also inform you that if your son leaves his cell phone in his pocket, you will get a very clean, but a non-functioning phone... I just discovered.

ReplyDeleteWow, your head must be feeling very spaced out!! What are you doing with a can of hairspray anyway; didn't think you were the type!! But thank for the tip & enjoy the rest of the weekend! xxxx
ReplyDeleteOMG Georgia, I'm surprised you didn't just start screaming or crying afterwards. That would have just pushed me over the edge I think. I already feel like a rubber band that's stretched too much.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about Ella ........
