    Using a dollymaid and a ringer to do the washing.

    😂😂
    Monday was always washing day when I was a kid. I used to help my nan. She used a boiler and washboard and a block of Sunlight or Fairy soap.
    I used to put the stuff through the mangle and hang it on the line.
    Nan also used flat irons as she warmed on the job. She didn't trust electrickery.

    It's sad to say, but I wouldn't have a clue to use the washing machine.

    I can't use the washing machine either. I have written down the instructions in a book in case I ever have to do some washing myself. It is in idiot speak. Put powder in this compartment, conditioner goes in this compartment, close drawer. Press On button etc. It's disgraceful really but as I say to the wife ''I don't ask you to get under the car to change the oil etc.''

    Now then Joy, I have to admit that I don’t know a lot about cars but what oil should I be changing ‘under the car’ as I could do with making an instruction book, as you say in idiot speak, just in case the wife needs to start looking after the car.

    I don’t think I could even get under the car with my arthritic hip and knee.
