Back to the normal Chaos on the farm!! Okay, I have to confess that I haven’t done any clothes washing for two weeks.  This is because the washing machine stopped, all of a sudden in mid cycle, and wouldn’t start up again.  This was at the start of the Christmas festivities, so I (We) decided to ignore it.  But, now the washing is piling up and it’s hard to ignore it when you start running out of stuff to wear.  I also have to admit that I have been a very messy Munchkin and had started piling obstacles in the way of the washing machine (well, I wasn’t using it so I didn’t need to get to it and we are running out of space everywhere).  Today, I did an almighty clean up and the washing machine is back in clear sight!  So, I’ve done my bit…now waiting for Gnome’ll Fix It (nudge, nudge, wink, wink….).

I really do hope that Gnome will fix the washing machine otherwise I will have to pound our clothes against rocks to get them cleaned!!  I feel that I had enough of that experience 12 years ago when we first came here and I don’t think that I need a repeat of that.  Anyway, if the washing machine has carked it I will have no choice but to start scrubbing again.  Arrrgh!!!
