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.0 -

:frown: wait....you mean they get dumber? :flowerforyou: just kiddin'....mine couldn't possibly be any dumber, lol.
I'm sorry you're having a bad day, I've had those :ohwell: they suck like the d!ickens.
Hope it gets better for you :flowerforyou:0 -
Not a particularly observant fellow, is he?
Oh well, go take yourself on a Goodwill shopping spree.

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 toadbaby0

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. 0 -
I agree, you do deserve a foot rub! And he should take you out to buy a pretty new dress!
Cheer Up!!0 -
Count your blessings he does laundry!!!0

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.0
-
Ugh!! Men! This is why my husband is not allowed to wash any of my clothes.0

Dye them all black. You'll look cool & ultra slim !:glasses:0

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 0

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!0
-
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... 0 -
How frustrating! Get yourself to Goodwill but also, splurge on something very nice. A new dress maybe? 0

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. 0

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:0 -
When I was a student, I once put ALL my clothes in a washer/dryer that shrank everything to about 2 sizes smaller. I had nothing to wear at all! Goodwill was awesome! I got a whole lotta stuff for about 100 bucks. Don't worry, you'll be fine! They're just clothes after all. They're replaceable, cheer up! :flowerforyou:0

"Well, *kitten*," as my partner's Grannie used to say. . .
I totally get the ARGH! sort of feeling and response.
AND, also . . . I have an absolute BLAST browsing through Goodwill and places like that, now. In fact I'm currently wearing an awesome shirt that I could NEVER have afforded if it was new -- which I got a the local thrift store.
Go on a thrift-store shopping spree and get clothes that look great on you for way cheap. You'll feel better. And keep doin' what you're doin' because obviously it's working!0 -
Listen hottie...you get out there and find things that fit you even better, and look even nicer than those clothes that got wrecked. At half your goal weight lost already, it's time to celebrate. You'll find AMAZING things, and God must have known that you deserve some more clothes to wear so took care of wondering whether you could afford it or whether you should and just helped you along on a shopping spree!
...Know that whenever you do go shopping, you're going to find the perfect outfits and they're going to be so good on you that it will make this day a great one!
You deserve the REWARD!
ps - give your hubbie a kiss, and tell him that it's all going to be okay. When you don't want to do it, is probably when he needs the reassurance the most. Have a better day! 0 -
Ummmm... throw a big tie dye party and just have a wardrobe of tie dyed clothing for the summer?
I'm super sentimental when it comes to certain items of clothing, I'd be crying too.0 -

Ha! This was my first thought, as well.
One time a red crayon went through the wash with all of my good clothes, too. I cried, too. 0 -
Oh! I would LOVE an excuse to go to goodwill! I'd be all over that.0
-
Oh wow! He didn't notice clothes in the washer???
Well, enjoy your shopping spree, anyway!0 -
Now hold on a minute, folks. I have to BEG my wife to stay away from my clothes. She loves to accidentally put something red in with my whites and suddenly every day becomes a breast cancer awareness day for me! This is not just a guy thing, women are like that too! (yeah, I know, the ratio is probably 15 million to 1, but being the 1 it ticks me off!)
Make your husband go shopping with you and make HIM pay for the clothes at the register. And don't forget to give him some ribbing in front of the sales clerk. Bet he won't make that mistake again!0 -
Count your blessings he does laundry!!!
I gotta agree. :smooched:0 -
so sorry, but he can take you shopping! for most men that will be torture and you get new clothes on his dime
