Happy Father's Day! RIP washing machine

Today was Daddy's first father's day. Orna got him a card and some chocolate (a Cybercandy Mystery Parcel). We had a day of veging, I red Orn a bit more of The Enormous Crocodile and washed a load of nappies. We then did a load of our clothes, and the machine screamed and clunked on the spin cycle. We emptied it, I ran it empty on slow spin and it was fine. We then decided to run another proper cycle, and the clunk got much worse. Daddy opened the door to be greeted by stinky smoke, and so we decided it had gone to the junkyard in the sky. I spent an hour handwashing all the itty bitty baby clothes that had been in there that now stank of plastic, and that was that!
