Classic from the mrs! Vol 2
Discussion
The answer is to take control of the laundry and invest in an externally vented tumble dryer.
This will both make her happy and clear the fog.
it also means you can use the cheapest Lidl detergent and forget about using Fabric Softener in the rinse cycle. It will save money in the long run.

Tony

Half an hour ago:
Her : Go right at the next roundabout
Roundabout sign appears and clearly has no right exit.
Me: There is no right at the next roundabout
Her: Right and straight on are the same thing
As we get close to the destination:
Me: Is it on this road?
Her: Yes. You just need to turn left soon
So, not on this road then....

Gentlemen, I ask for your assistance.
How do I demonstrate persuasively that the capacity of the washing machine is not the same as the maximum amount of clothing that can be pressed into the drum?
Time and again the washing comes back out soaking wet and because of the time of year our house is being used as a dryer. It's getting mould and I'm getting a sore throat. Possibly coincidental. I doubt it.
I've tried pointing out that too much clothing means that A: the amount of water it soaks up is larger, and B: the ability of the machine to spin it out again is lower. A compounding problem. That doesn't work.
I've tried doing a wash myself and inviting herself to witness how the clothes come out half dry already. Didn't work.
Any ideas?

I finally have one worth posting, she has been getting ready and moving around the house getting this and that, we're about to leave and she asks:
Her: Have you seen my handbag?
Me: Which one? (she has several)
Her: The one I'm taking tonight
Me: ..... Yeah, like that narrows it down!
It's a very small "classic" compared to others, but I did tell her it would end up here so I thought I had better follow up!

That's what I think.
If we did a normal load once or twice a day I think it'd be fine. As it is, herself tries to do about 8 huge loads in two days and fills the house with cloud.
It's like a scene from Jurassic Park in our lounge. For more reason than one.

Take six kilos of clothes from her wardrobe, ask her to put them all on, then step on the scales.Any ideas?
Empty a large bucket of water over her head, then weigh her again.
Remove clothing, one item at a time, until her weight is reduced by six kilos.
Explain why she's still wearing wet clothes.
While she recovers from pneumonia you do the washing.

Or, better still, a condenser tumble dryer. No hose hanging out the window. Yay!This will both make her happy and clear the fog.

I'm in the process of cleaning the red stone chips which are around my greenhouse. They have been down 30 years and have mixed with all types of crap over time. I have lifted the lot and moved them into the field for cleaning by riddling and running through a concrete mixer to wash them. I have done about a third of the total and have started to put them back. I have also laid 3 slabs as a path to the greenhouse door.
This morning she says to me " I see you have started putting the stones back, will you have enough?" DUH!

Not really a classic from the Mrs. I've got no idea who those two blokes are either.

Plus externally vented dryers requre a 4 inch hole being drilled throught two walls to the exterior. This necessitates the purchase of 1. A big f--off drill and 2. A huge masonery hole drill kit. This will go some way to ensuring that you will die with the most tools and therefore win.
During this exercise you may also break your wrist as the big f--ck off drill and the huge masonery drill bit / hole saw snatch and grab as they chew through two walls and all the insulation inbetween but you wanted dry clothes right so its your fault.............
I may have had a flash back then.
Cheers,
Tony
