We live in a suburb with no laundromat.
I find it incredibly odd that we have no laundromat in our suburb. Or in the next suburb. Or the next! I had to drive 3 suburbs over just to do my washing tonight.
From that, you may also deduce that the problems with our washing machine are ongoing… after two months :grr: I’ve been sparing you the endless spleen-venting over that, and you should be thankful. Today, however, we finally received news that the company will now replace the machine – with a newer and larger model, what’s more. Hoo-bloody-ray, at last. I expect it will take them another week or ten to deliver it though.
Anyway, back to the laundromat. With the help of a phone call from OtherHalf, who unlike me had the presence of mind to look it up in the yellow pages, I found our ‘nearest’ laundromat, and threw a week’s worth of washing in the biggest machine they had. Super-duper-hooper machine, that one. I want one!
Then I made a hasty retreat as there were two weird guys in there that I did not wish to be near. There are always creepy guys in laundromats. Why is that? Anyway, I sat in my car and stitched a little on my Christmas exchange (it’s nearly done, hooray!) When daylight grew scarce, I sat in my car and ate stale BBQ shapes.
I ate BBQ shapes because I’m pregnant and I crave junk food. The fact that they were stale had nothing to do with laundromats or pregnancy, but it did serve to make me want never ever to eat another BBQ shape :ill:

And that, my friends, is the most roundabout way for anyone to anounce a pregnancy to the world. Don’t you think?!
Huge Congratulations, Melanie!
New washer, new baby, lots to look forward too.
Do you know when you are due?
I’m so glad that the washing machine co. is replacing the machine – sounds like you’ve suffered enough. :drink:
Congratulations, Melanie!!!! That is so exciting! What changes your life has undertaken recently – get them all taken care of at the same time, huh?
Oh wow!!! Congratulations! What wonderful news! ๐
Congratulations Melanie!! I was reading your message and thinking to myself, how did I forget that Melanie was pregnant! Very sneaky of you but I hope all is going well and you get that washing machine sorted soon.
Yay! The official announcement! Go you ๐
I read your earlier blog of a day or so ago and your post on the BB and wondered if you were pregnant so congratulations, Mel! ๐ Hope all goes well and that the new washing machine arrives long before baby does.
Definitely roundabout, and definitely wonderful! Yay!!!
Oooh Congratulations Melanie ๐ I do hope you get the washing machine before the baby is born… ๐
