Attempting to reach the summit of Mount Laundry, I began to shovel through the bathroom towels and bathmats that needed a good washing with some bleach. Halfway through the wash, our front-loading washing machine gives an F02 error message. Happy New Year! Oh, and F02 you too, I say. Desperate for an easy solution, I search the internet for an answer. I find one, but it will require someone with a technical background and tools. I recruit the husband to be on my team. I forward the googled up findings, which he reads and with a high five (and our fingers crossed) we hope the problem is a simple one. As I stand on the sidelines for support, with plenty of towels, a pan as a bucket and plenty of GO TEAM! spirit, Matt, I mean WE (after all it is TEAM effort, right?) find the problem.

Ladies and gentlemen. That’s cloth breast pads (used when nursing)…that were clogged in the drain.
Booby juice. It does a body good, but if you leave your breast pads in the washer it can wreak havoc on the machine.
I just threw up in my mouth.
This picture is a great add for those mesh laundry bags you put little things in before they go in the washer.
