No wait thats not the worst. When I was little I thought I would help out my mum doing the washing by putting bleech into the washing machine.

I was soooo cute.

Does going for a swim with an Apache in your pocket count?

An Apache! how WOULD you miss that brick in your pocket lol!

The worst thing was tweezers which embedded itself in a hole in the drum, tearing all my good clothes to ribbons.. i was not impressed.
must have dropped in there when the then "mrs" was having an eyebrow pluck.

The 'Mrs'? or you mean when you were having a go at those forests that barely pass for eyebrows? Im kidding...

The swin was accidental, was walking past the pool and tripped and fell in. It turns out Apaches aren't swimmers. Who would've known

Did the apache manage to survive? This will be a problem with the iPhone..no user removable battery to quickly pull out after jumping in the pool with it.

No it didn't survive since it fell out of my pocket and it took me a while to find in the pool.

my favourite NEW woolen cardigan. I had no idea about washing machines at the age of 15. As you can guess it came out SHRUNK! I was upset for days about it. It was my favorite cardy :(
Recently i put my baby's PINK pants in the wash and all my whites got spoilt. Feel sorry for my hubby who has to wear pink undies lol
