Ok, so I'm posting this so everyone can laugh at me! And if it hadn't happened to me and had happened to someone else, I would probably be laughing at them!
At DCH we get our laundry done for us, but we can't hand our underwear in because everything gets washed with the children's clothes so I guess it would be unhygenic or something. Anyway, this means we either have to take our underwear and whites and anything we value and don't want to be shrunk or changed colour etc to the local laundrette, or wash it my hand ourselves. Seeing as I'm a volunteer I decided to try and hand wash because it's cheaper, even if it does take longer! So I'm sat in the bathroom with my bucket of soapy water and everything I need to wash and (after I've left it to soak for a while) I start scrubbing it like we were shown on Coll. Maybe 20 minutes later I've finished scrubbing it and my knuckles are SORE. I change the water and don't add soap this time so hopefully if I leave it to soak again, I won't have to scrub the soap out (yes I'm that lazy). And I leave it again. Basically the final result is some mainly clean clothes and I now have no skin on 3 of my knuckles. Maybe I did it wrong, but I know one thing for sure...I'm going to the laundrette next time, it might be more expensive, but I get to keep all my skin!
