My sister and I were supposed to take it in turnsCasdon she conveniently needed the toilet when it was her turn to dry!

Ha! Mine too Jaxjacky!
One evening my brother and I waited until she came sauntering into the kitchen, then said, "We'll start now you're here"
Her face was a picture! 😂
She actually said, "I thought you'd be finished by now" 😐

We argued so much about it that my dad allocated us specific days of the week to do the washing and drying - the compromise was that he had to do it himself on a Saturday so we had the same days every week.

I’ve still got mine from back then. I wanted a record player but my mum sensibly told me I’d be better off with a transistor radio as we were very poor and I couldn’t afford to buy the records anyway.
