I'm traveling light on this journey I'm on
Don't need any baggage cause I'm going home
The cares of this world would only slow me dooooooooown
I'm not into material things but at times have a problem with the cares of this world.

im wondering how you could possibly fit a washing machine in a tiny home or you just wash everything by hand in the sink...or take it to the nearest laundrymat. possibly you'd just have a tiny wardrobe too.

A standard size washer and dryer wouldn't fit but maybe a mini washer and dryer that stacks on top of each other would be feasible. Yeah, you would probably have to go to a laundry mat. Laundry would be problematic if you reside in a tiny home.

Did you know my washing machine can play the NZ national anthem?

Now, my washer and dryer plays a part of a tune but when the cycle is finished but I think that it is just a bunch of random notes thrown together.

My wife is usually the one who does the laundry but this morning I ran a load. Washed, dry, and folded. I tried to be neat when folding my shirts but near the end they really didn't look that square and neat.

I have been thinking about learning how to iron. I want to put a sharp crease in my many pairs of jeans. Going to use Niagara spray starch 'cause that's the only brand that I have heard of. Like the folding, probably will end up being a disaster. I want to iron my shirts too, but I don't think that I will starch them as well.

Better to leave well enough alone.

Ironing is good if you are Flat Stanley but most people have curves.

Moved in to my new house and I am just waiting for my parents to come to my place 🙃 I bought a washing machine for my mother so that she won't have a hard time washing their clothes... she was happy to know that I bought one already 😁😅


I think my mother doesn't enjoy washing clothes that much having a washing machine can help my mom a lot... besides she is old already to wash clothes by hands...no daughter is around this time.. only my parents and my older brother...I don't think my brother will enjoy washing clothes also by hands...like we do in the province...☺😅

I can't imagine what an ordeal it would be to wash clothes by hand. I pray that your new home becomes a great blessing for you and your family. You are quite a daughter taking care of your parents and looking out for your older brother.

My brother's first engineering job was at a company that made washing machines - Fisher and Paykel
But funnily enough he does not have that brand washing machine at his place.

His one is top of the line Miele. It is a front loader and even has a dryer built in.

I dont think its right that he has the rolls royce of washing machines when he doesnt particularly care about laundry and wont even invest in a decent washing line at his place.

?! He hangs out his clothes on a rusty clothes horse and they arent even of many colours its just blue and black.

I dont know if the Miele plays the German national anthem but I feel like my brother is a traitor.

I think he actually has two machines, one for whites and one for colours. Like some kind of apartheid system.

Whereas my household has only ONE washing machine and we just take turns.

Sounds like a Paul McCartney tune.

"Ebony and Ivory,
Live together in perfect harmony.
Side by side on my piano keyboard
Oh, Lord, why don't we?"

I have a black and white striped dress
I sort of look like a zebra or a library barcode when Im wearing it.

Or I just got out of jail.

Do I put in with the whites, or the coloureds?

That has been my conundrum as well. Is an article of clothing considered a white even though there are other colors in it? I just gave up using bleach as I have previously ruined a few shirts. I went with the safer alternative and started to use Oxi-Clean. There is also such a product as color-safe bleach. I tried that but the whites came out a little dingy. Better results with the oxi-clean. Your post was most amusing.

oxi-clean sounds like napisan

I'm just wearing grey today. Grey t shirt and faded denim shorts. Probably not acceptable church clothes, but am going for the sackcloth and ashes look this month.

I did a google search and it appears Napisan to be just like Oxi-Clean. Grey T-shirt and faded denim shorts, in my opinion, are acceptable church clothes. The important thing is to just go.
