hey gurls

my mum and dad have gone away to see my sis cos she is going through alot right now she has just found out she is 9 weeks pregnant with her new partners baby (she already has 2 children form her marriage). and the day she found that out she also found out he had been with someone else and got them preg too. so my mum and dad have gone down there to milton keynes to sort her out nd just give her support really. i dont mind that she is my sis and i want her to be happy and i wanted my mum to go and see her so at least i knew she wpuld have someone to turn to

this is going to sound so stupid but in 16 years i have never been left on my own (oh is here tho) and i really dont like it. i miss my mum like hell. god how sad am i sounding?? its probs my hormones making everything seem 10 times worse. and now to top it all off oh has gone to college all day so im on my own and i need to do some washing my mum has left but i dont know how to work the machine . god i wish o wasnt being so pathetic cos my sis really needs my mum right now im really worried about her

sprry for the rant gurls bit of a pathetic and pointless thread i know but i just needed to get it off my chest

Aw hun, I know what its like. When i moved out at 16 all i could cook was beans on toast and even managed to burn the beans on a number of times

Now 5 years on....I manage a sunday roast ...lol

Anyway try not to think about it to much. I know its hard. If you cant do the washing then dont. Think of this as practice time for when baba here. And if it comes to it....go to the laundrette and pay them to do it

big hope you feel better about it soon XXX

Bless you!!

OK, get the wash ready, separate coloureds into separate washes. So darks/blacks together; whites/lights together; and brights together. As you're new to it, check all the labels. You'll want to do a general 40 degree wash (or 30 if you're environmentally conscious). Take out anything that's not 40 or or warmer, including if it is 40 with black bars underneath the symbol as this means delicate washes and will be on things like wool and silk. Take out anything handwash.

So you should have a bundle of clothes of similar colour all saying they are good at 40!

Shove them in the machine, as much as will fit and you still be able to close the door.

What are the dials like on your machine? Have you programmes or buttons to press? If you've got letters, it will probably be a D. If you can alter the settings then select for the one that says 40.

Do you have powder or liquid and do you want to use conditioner?

Let me know how the sorting gets on.

I'm going at in 20 mins or so though so we need to be quick! lol

Oh and turn all trousers inside out so they don't go streaky. And check pockets!
