Stuffs that shouldn't go in the washing machine but do

[mickcant]

I left an expensive ball-point pen in my shirt pocket.
Looked everywhere for it and thought I'd lost it for good. Really miffed.
Found it when I came to iron to shirt. No damage and still worked fine. Still use it everyday now. That was 1999

In the years I have lived alone, the only things I have ironed are certs that I scanned to add to computer files

Even the white shirt I keep for funerals I drip dry to ovoid having to iron
