    Smiley learn something new every day, feel like a dork

    ok, i know all of you in areas more north of me will be like...yea why is this so strange to you, you idiot. but please understand i was born and bred in Ft.Lauderdale FL, where the lowest temp i can remember was 40 degrees. i've moved to Charlotte, NC area only 9 months ago so to me its freezing up here...now for the story....

    I think my hubby said the temp was in the teens last night. I have to wash my waitress uniform because someone got salad dressing ALL over it. I head out inot the shed where my washer/dryer is kept. The water dosnt pump through hoses, i try again...nothing. i run the dryer for a moment...ok THATS working, wtf. i think oh..maybe pipes are frozen, i've heard of that. nope water in the kitchen, i think oh..duh the washer has its own hoses, go and check those. yep, the hoses are frozen solid. i'm running the dryer and have a small space heater in the shed to try and defrost them so i can wash my damn uniform cause i have to be at work in 3 hours. i hope this works.

    How annoying!
    Dont worry, I grew up in the Uk but Ive been in Australia for 20 years and quite honestly I have forgotten about all the things you have to remember when you live somewhere thats really cold! If you've never experienced freezing weather before you arnt to know! Hope the pipes fixed soon though! At least you know for next time (-:

    Oh, that sucks! The good news is that in that climate, it doesn't usually stay freezing during the day, so you can do your laundry in the afternoons. If you have to wash anything at night or early morning, use the kitchen sink and then throw it in the dryer. And always remember to leave a little tiny stream of water running at night if it's supposed to freeze, so this won't happen to the pipes in your house.

    I hope they fix it! Good luck!
