Laundry~~Keep Your Clothes LONGER by Correct Washing Temperatures!
After working hard to get INTO my "slim"CLOTHES, I don't want them to SHRINK by washing in the WRONG temperature just because the TAG has worn off! [Yes, I DO KEEP FAVORITE CLOTHES a LONG time!!!!]So, I devised a simple system~~When I GET the clothes and put in the wash for the FIRST time....
MORE INFORMATION:
I use a permanent marker to write"W" for WARM or "C" for COLD on the size tag,so as the clothing ages and the tag FADES, I WON'T FORGET which temp. the clothing is WASHED in! {Yes, I DO have to rewrite after a number of washings,but this way I will ALWAYS wash my clothing without a costly mistake!}
Every time I see a vending machine or feel hungry, I'm tempted to buy a bag of m&ms. That's at least 200 calories plus the $1 it costs. Every time I avoid buying them, I'm going to start putting that dollar aside.
MORE INFORMATION:
Wouldn't it be nicer to have money for new, smaller clothes?
