Cute
Climbing onto the washing machine to ride the spin cycle & changing the settings. No harm, easy to fix.
Not so Cute
Taking the washing machine hose out of the laundry tub & rediverting the grey water onto the floor. This went unnoticed until the next day, after a full load's worth of water had flooded the laundry floor, the downstairs toilet floor & the floor to my desk area where I *try* & start/enjoy/complete craft projects. The area is also used to store lots of stuff, that can't go into the outside shed in case it gets water damaged. Oh, the irony, it's so funny.
The Damage
1 single mattress
1 cot mattress
1 large bag filled with cot linen that was 'too good' to give to charity - beautiful sheets & comforters that where lovingly created/handsewn by Grandma & Nanny.
1 half finished craft project - a notice board made using a vintage frame, wadding & a beautiful scarf that I've had forever. Luckily I had removed the ribbon that was criss crossing the front, to play around with it a bit more.. Well now all I have is that ribbon & the frame.
I was able to dry out the mattresses & spent half a day washing the cot linen, but I still had to throw a bit away.
You know those tourists that spot a cute monkey while visiting a temple & are all "ohhhhhh Sweeeeet!!" & then that monkey bites their neck & steals their sunglasses & bitch slaps them?
