Weird Things...

[2sp_]

Following on from melv16's post, what is the strangest thing you have accidentally put through the washing machine?

I found a toy tractor (approx 3inches square-ish). One of the kids must have stuck it in the laundry bin and I just bundled it all in the machine. Luckily no damage was done - to machine or tractor.

The sad things is I actually attempt to empty his pockets. He has so many pockets in his work clothes I always seem to miss one.

When my cousin lived with me I'd find cash in the washing machine all the time. The rules were if you find cash you get to keep the cash :-)

drill bits, pencils, cigarette lighters and the obligatory paper hankies.

when the albas were younger, lego bricks and toy soldiers.
