in Motivation and Support
This doesn't count as motivation and probably not support, but didn't know where else to put it. Since we are both retired my husband and I both do our own laundry. Last night before I went to bed I washed a load of most of my clothes and some tops I really liked that I finally can wear. When I got up I went down to the basement to put my clothes in the dryer and I couldn't find them, but my husband was washing a load. I went up and asked what he did with my clothes. He didn't even check and put a load of white clothes on top of them and added bleach. All I have left to wear are a few pairs of crop pants and shirts that are several sizes to big. I hate to go out and buy new clothes while I am still losing weight so I guess goodwill here I come. I will miss my one pair of jeans that fit the best the most.

    Yes I agree. You deserve a back rub too.

    OH no, What is wrong with him? Oh never mind, I know, he is MALE. They do some of the most irritating things. LOL I am so sorry this happened. I think he owes you a trip to Goodwill, or any thrift store and he needs to pay. Hugs toadbaby

    ooo i love goodwill, and value village...but I'd totally grab some "not so cheap" clothes too. I'm not saying a versache dress, but maybe step into Ricki's and get a few on sale items :) He wouldn't dare complain about the money spent.

    Might be a daft answer on my part but can you not "salvage" any of them? I'm thinking Dylon washing machine dye. It may mean you have to resort to black & dark purple, but its worth a try & at a few quid works out far cheaper.

    I once lost all my family digital photographs in a computer crash. It helped me to remember what the buddhists say: that everything in life is transient but we always remain :)

    Oh nooo! After I threw a major tantrum, I'd head to the mall! Goodwill is ok for some things, but you're gonna need a really good pair of jeans and maybe a couple of new summer dresses! And he'd better not complain! And while you're at Goodwill, pick up a pair of pants like his favorite but 2 sizes smaller, and after next laundry day, slip them in his closet and tell him, "Oops, must have shrunk them in the wash!! " bwa ha ha ha!

    Oh no :( That stinks!! I'm sure he feels bad. Second hand clothes might be the way to go. Hopefully they can tide you over until you drop another size or can afford better...

    How frustrating! Get yourself to Goodwill but also, splurge on something very nice :). A new dress maybe?

    That is super frustrating, sounds like something my bf would do, which is why I've banned him from doing laundry (to his delight.) I love love love the Goodwill, though. You'll be hip with us kids now. =)

    I agree ....... he owes you BIG TIME !

    When I first got married, mine did the laundry & shrunk all my sweaters to Barbie-doll size ..... I wouldn't let him touch the laundry after that ......

    Now I realize ...... that was his PLAN all along :laugh:
