#&!%# washing machine!

Argh.

I washed baby clothes today. Washed the first load, and everything was.. "okay." And then I put that load in the dryer and put in another small load of baby clothes. Then the fuse blew..... :/ Can't run the washer and dryer at the same time!!

We fixed the fuse...
Start the washer, then both loads can dry at the same time.

Go check on the washing machine later - clothes are done, open the door, take out the clothes, and they are soaking wet.

I ring out one of the white blankets.. and decide to run the spin-cycle again, thinking that maybe this time it will work. I run it again, take everything out... the blanket that I rang out, is even wetter than it was before!?!?!?!

So, I ring out the clothes, and when I ring them out, soap bubbles appear.......

Now finally everything is in the dryer ...
And it takes extra long for everything in the dryer, because everything is so wet.

We knew when we moved in that we were going to have to replace them, so that isn't surprising, we were prepared for that. But this is ridiculous.. :/
We've already priced a new washer/dryer set and we are thinking about going ahead and getting that, too. I don't think we can go all winter with a washing machine that doesn't use the spin-cycle properly... oohh..! And it doesn't use the softner either! The same softner is still in the little compartment from the first washing load I ever put in the washer!

We were going to wait to replace them when we tried fixing the room up a little nicer, paint, and replace a few other things (sink, etc..), but I don't think we can wait that long.. :/ With a new baby and winter.. :/ So, maybe we should invest into that as well.. :/
