My kids go to the laundromat with me so they can get items out of the candy vending machines.

Tuesday, January 1st, 2008

I have a washer and dryer, but both are in need of repair. The washer will not spin the clothes out properly, so they are sopping wet when I remove them from the tub. The dryer heats, but it will not tumble the clothes. When I remove them, the clothes on the top and bottom are dry, but the clothes in the middle are still wet. The appliances are very old, so they will cost a fortune to repair. I would be better off buying a new washer and dryer. I just cannot afford to do so right now. Until I am able to buy new ones, I have been taking my dirty laundry to the laundromat. My kids go to the laundromat with me, but they don't help me wash, dry, or fold the laundry. They go along so they can get items out of the candy vending machines. I put almost as much money in the vending machines as I do the washers and dryers.
