Simple Home Remedy

My washing machine was clogged up with tiny bits of yarn, soap residue and all sort of dirt from years of used. I have to use a dipper to scoop the water out of it. 

For a while I thought it was a good exercise for my arms in lieu of dumbbells. But I had enough, when my back started to complain.I bought a pump, that one use for clogged lavatory sink but to no avail. I broke the pump after a month. 

Thankfully, Mr Google helped. A gentleman posted useful tips to clean and unclog washing machine on You Tube. Yesterday after work, I bought this wire from a hardware store at the mall. It looks like this when coiled. When stretched it is a meter long. Brilliant! It worked!

At long last, I managed to clean our shoe rack and threw away some worn out slippers. I changed the old dusty cardboard I used to protect the wood from chipping. This rack has not been cleaned since several years back. I know you are chuckling folks.  

I was granted two days vacation leave from work and the following two days were my day off. Last night I thought of inspecting some stuff inside as I am running out of space where to put some shoes and slippers. As expected, most of the stuff belongs to my niece. Rubber shoes anyone? Take note you are seeing only half of the shoe rack. So, there is more.

She collects rubber shoes and comic books. She orders comic books online. She has some delivered through our post office as books are non taxable. In most cases she picks them up at her trusted courier. I have a bookcase with four shelves, almost full with books now. One time she ordered one rubber shoes online. She was sent two by mistake and to her delight.

She gave the other one to my sister. The rubber shoes, was way too big my size. Besides I am not fond of rubber shoes. What do I collect? Money of course. But despite wisely, collecting these elusive resources. I have not collected much, as of yet.
