[Closed] How do I get out of THIS one...

Last year I put a load of oily rags in the washing machine but forgot to set it off.

Wife then put one of her favorite t shirts in and set it off.

The sh1t did not hit the fan, the fan fell in the cesspit

I agreed in writing (I know, it was dumb) to a shopping trip to London. That was about a year ago, nothing more has been said.

Today, the signed 'promise' mysteriously appeared on the dining room table.

HELP

There is no way out of this unless you want to be the person who ruins clothes and does not keep their word - a lieing barsteward basically.
MTFU get the wallet out and take one for the team.
You could of course get divorced but that will be more costly than a shopping trip

Sounds like fun, spring for a posh dinner and a hotel and you might get more than you bargained for.

Tell her that you are going to make up properly - you'll arrange a limo to take you there, posh dinner, show, hotel, make a weekend, and she can blow the savings.

She'll either fear the expense and let it drift, or screw you. If the latter, at least you get a meal, a show a hopefuly a shag.

edit - Toys has obviously been married a while too!

Hang on, she put one tshirt in the machine then set it going? Eco vandal!

But yes - don't fight it. Shopping can cut both ways you know.

I'd pop it in the washing machine & give it a wash, a hot wash'll make it disappear.... 1 t-shirt does not equate to a shopping trip in London..
Though if you want to keep you balls, just get on with it and ask her when she want to go.

Its all her fault!!!!
SHE put the washing machine on not you.
But probably best not say that,just in case.
Make sure she only buys one t-shirts though as that was all that was ruined. 😯

I do this! Finding decent cleaning rags is hard. You can't just use old shirts or t-shirts these days; they're too full of something that doesn't make them particularly absorbent.

Baby muslins work well. The big packs of 12 from mothercare are really absorbent.

You think you got into trouble with the wife's t-shirts. Imagine the cesspit I fell into when the wife found what I'd been doing with junior's muslins!

She probably wrecked it beforehand and then seized the opportunity.

Besides did she not see/check what was in before putting her good top in (I smell a rat)

This happened to me a couple of months ago and it turned my missus' passive aggresive dial up to 11.

I bought her a new top, told her that she's lovely and apologised profusely. As such, my advice to you is either to fake your own death and move abroad, or chance your arm with a post shop beer fest pint or three.

Can it not 'mysteriously disappear' as well then? If you know what I mean!

Wipe your bike down with a baby Muslim? Got to be a type error?

It is actually hard to get rags, but no way would I stick them in my washing machine just the same as if I washed the dogs blanket or bed, no thanks!

Try walking into a shop and asking if they sell baby muslins. Unless you're actually in Mothercare (or you're called Madonna), you often get a bit of a look.

I did something similar by leaving putting some reusable cloths with that had be used for T-cutting in the machine and forgot to turn it on. Mrs CD then but in the towels and set it off. The towels smelt like a car workshop, and needed 3 washes to get smell out and the washing machine needed some special cleaning fluid and several empty wahes before the smell went. She wanted a new washing machine before I persuded her the smell would go.
I thought I was being environmentally freiendly by washing them but after all the water and chemicals used to get rid of the smell the rags will be going in the bin next time.

May I suggest a trip to Harley Street to get that humungous thumb shaped callus removed from your forehead.

You should have told her that the t-shirt was far too big for her and you were doing her a favour as she's much slimmer and that shirt made her look big - that would have boosted her self-esteem and you'd have had non of this. She may have been extra special later that night in the bedroom 😉
