The other day three buttons popped out of the washing machine trap - so
I put them somewhere safe. Then the waistband button popped off my skirt
while I was getting dressed....
Today, I finally sat down to do the mending. I dealt with the skirt
button. One of the buttons from the washing machine was reunited with
DH's shirt.
Then I realised I had a problem! I have a blouse missing a button, which
was one of the ones from the washing machine... which I now can't find.
But I can find two buttons - one of which I know is off one of DH's
white shirts (but which one?!) - but I can't find any other shirts /
blouses that have missing buttons!
Grump! Grrrr! Oh well, I did manage to progress DB's late running trousers.

Dear Sarah,
Erma Bombeck wrote a hilarious column years ago about her washing
machine. She decided that it ate socks, until the day it regurgitated
a girdle that she had never seen before. I guess it chews buttons,
too!!

There is, somewhere, a wormhole end which spews out unmatched socks,
assorted buttons, bra wires, zipper pulls, and other notions gone awol
from their garments. I wonder what they do with such things on the
Other End? Picture a shirt made from such manna...
