Mending frustration

Oct 27, 2006 5 Replies

The other day three buttons popped out of the washing machine trap - so I put them somewhere safe. Then the waistband button popped off my skirt while I was getting dressed....



Today, I finally sat down to do the mending. I dealt with the skirt button. One of the buttons from the washing machine was reunited with DH's shirt.



Then I realised I had a problem! I have a blouse missing a button, which was one of the ones from the washing machine... which I now can't find. But I can find two buttons - one of which I know is off one of DH's white shirts (but which one?!) - but I can't find any other shirts / blouses that have missing buttons!



Grump! Grrrr! Oh well, I did manage to progress DB's late running trousers.

Dear Sarah,

Erma Bombeck wrote a hilarious column years ago about her washing machine. She decided that it ate socks, until the day it regurgitated a girdle that she had never seen before. I guess it chews buttons, too!!

I've read one of her books - very funny!

I have at least discovered where one of the buttons belongs. Wey hey!

Sarah

Sounds interesting..... do you think the other end has my long lost button?

S.

At least we know where lost socks go -
