A Tale of Two Washing Machines

two washing machinesI have two washing machines. Is that weird?!

I never really thought about it, but it came up in an ice breaker activity this week at my Cert 4 course.

An aside: Don’t you love how I just casually threw that in there?! Yes, as if I am not busy enough, I have enrolled in a Cert 4 in Small Business Management. The opportunity came along, the fees are heavily subsidised by the government, and it’s being held in my suburb. All going well I will have completed it by Christmas. Although I am super busy, I figure in the long run it will be worth it as it will help me to streamline and run my business more efficiently. Besides, after nearly 2 years in business I thought it was about time I figured out what I was actually doing, LOL!

Turns out having two washing machines is a bit of a novelty!

When we needed a new washing machine a few years ago, we found a front loader at a bargain price – and at the time the government was offering incentives on them, in a bid to help save water in the midst of the drought.

Now, front loaders as a general rule don’t have as big a capacity as top loaders. And, the wash cycle can take an hour or more. Ain’t nobody got time for that!

What can I say – it was cheap and we had the room – so hubster insisted we buy a second one, to help make my life easier (as the chief laundress in our household).

We’ve never looked back.

What does your Washing say about YOU?!

According to our trainer at the course, our laundry habits reveal a LOT about us!

For example, my tale of two washing machines, and the fact that pretty much everything that can be, goes straight onto hangers – meaning once dry, the clean clothes go straight in the wardrobe without any ironing – probably reveals the fact that I am generally an organised and efficient person. I really hate wasting time!

Or take people who are anal particular about hanging their laundry with matching pegs. They are likely to be more detail-oriented (or OCD, I’m not sure which!).

So what does your washing say about YOU?!
