My friend washed a Passport!!!

I have washed: tissues, banknotes, a lighter (not a problem until it ended up in the tumble-drier), spare change, lottery tickets. I always check my pockets, but sadly my family do not.

Oh I forgot the boiled sweets.

Usually a sticky mess, that just does not come out of the pockets

Once, when I was small, Mum bought dad some steak for his tea,( big treat in those days )

When she came to cook it, found it floating around with the sheets in our old fashioned copper boiler.She fished it out ,rinsed it of f, and cooked it for him. I dont know what it tasted like, but he didn't grumble.

To date, Ihave washed various its of hardware, hubbys overalls, one pocketful of worms, toddlers pocket, an alarm clock and once, very nearly, a kitten!!

Wood shavings every time, you cant get it out of the pockets!

i washed £200 ...driving licence...tissues ... coins .. rubbers ...1/2 packet of crisps .... long time ago ... learnt my lesson ..nothing goes in the washer till i check all pockets now...

the best laugh was the £200 ..as they where folded they didnt rip ..i pressed them all nice and crsipy lol.. put them in the cupboard .. oh came home and went to the line checking his pockets ..me i was pmsl at the kitchen window ....came in saying did you take the money out of the pockets .... what money i said then started laughing couldnt keep it up ..told him next time i keep it .. lol

I believe my mother washed many worms in her time. Not from my pockets, but my obnoxious brother, who by the way, still is, as far as I am concerned

Friend at work washed a 4X£20 notes in her jeans, totally forgot about it and hung washing on the line, then at 3 in the afternoon suddenly jumped up and said Oh No! (or words to that effect!)

She rang home ,but kids not home from school, then made her husband go all the way home to check- he was closer.

It was still there and in good condition- and laundered!! lol

A £5 note once.

Bless you Diane.was it the sneezies?

...but have you every washed money?

When my son was still at school I washed many an important letter.Then had to ring his friends Mum to see what it was about lol

Had a snowfall today out of the washer. I then had to search through the black clothes to find the culprit. It usually my daughters clothes! But oh no not this time, it was me!!

I havent been well ,you know

No, they are just a B****y mess lol

Tissues are the worst aren't they.They attach themselves to everything,and then turning the pocket inside out!!!!!!!!

Tissues!!!!!!!

Today I have washed a pen,a lighter and a dog poo bag(empty).
What things have been lurking in unemptied pockets?
