My phone ding-a-linged”.
“Keithy” yelled my friend Rosey. “You won’t believe what I’ve seen!”
I rarely believe what she says she’s seen!
“A pink washing machine! Can you order it, please? My laptop always messes around and gets me the wrong thing”.
She texted me the link. Something else for her vast collection of Barbie dolls and accessories!
You should have seen her face when I delivered it!
“I can’t do my washing in that tiny thing, and why’s it £149.99?”
“It’s a toy,” I said, “£14.99!”
“I need new reading glasses,” she said. “I saw some online. Can you…”.
“NO!”

Thanks to Rochelle for hosting and to Na’ama for the photo!
Click Froggie to see what others have washed up!
I want one too. My granddaughter can play with it.
I’ll ask Rosey to send it to you, Sadje!
Okay, thanks 😜
Haha! Reminds me of my aunt. She treats laptops like they might explode and always gets me to order her things, and complains I got the wrong thing.
Great story, Keith!
Thanks, Mason. My late mother was similarly bemused by hers!
There is a certain fear factor with a computer isn’t there? You have to overcome the idea of ‘press one button and everything vanishes’ I think.
cute 😀

Thanks, David!
A worthy addition to the Rosey canon. A big grin for that one, Keith!
I’m delighted you found it so, thanks Penny!
Never change Rosey, never change!
No fear of that, Iain!
Looks like a fun toy and Rosie’s young at heart; she might enjoy it. Don’t let her order reading glasses online, though.
She loves her Barbies so I’m sure she will! As for the specs, that would not be a good idea!
🙂
Rosey sure knows how to find a deal…. ..£14.99!!!
Unfortunately, not always the right deal though!
True, indeed!!
Love it!
Thanks so much, Di!
You’re welcome
It is lovely to see that Rosey is back in the stories, if only she could read all about it.
She’s never far away, James, and she loves being the centre of attention!
Dear Keith,
I love the winking picture of Rosey. I can see where she would frustrate him. 😉 Cute.
Shalom,
Rochelle
She’s usually up to mischief when she winks like that! I think she’s planning something!
Hahaha
Don’t let Rosey hear you laughing!!!
thanks for the warning )
Poor Rosey! I don’t know about pink, but there are places here where you can order appliances made to look like those from the 1940s, and in the pastel colors, too.
I’ll let her know, Mimi!
Wait for Rosey to discover vintage toys! Love Rosey. Keep em coming.
I can’t wait for that! Don’t worry, Rosey’ll keep coming!
Tee-Hee. I love the final answer.
There’s no way I’m letting her do that!
Glad she is back. I’ve missed Rosey. A good deal at such a low price. Fun story, Keith.
She complained that I was ignoring her! Cheers, Bill.
Tell Rosie that she can find the solution on my response to the prompt Rochelle decided to post … 😉 (well, if Rosie can find her reading glasses …) 😉
As for the origin story of this machine … My friends had gotten sick of my complaining about how there’s no washing machine in my apartment and no laundry room in my NYC building … so they got me this to make sure I can no longer say I have not got a washing machine … 😉 Also, for extra credit, it actually spins, makes noise, and uses emergency lights … It’s a disco in a laundromat.
Your friends certainly have a great sense of humour, and the little machine sounds great! I’ll send Rosey your way – she’ll think it’s a brilliant idea, I’m sure!
Ha! My friends are … well … silly. Which is not THAT strange, given that I am … well … too … 😉
It’s a cool little gadget. In case of an emergency, I think you can attach it to the roof of a police car and it can double as emergency lights … (the lights in the machine rotate from blue to red to white …). 😉 Tell Rosie she’s always welcome.
Rosey seems quite excitable. Well done.
That’s one of many adjectives that can be applied to her! Thank you.
Ha – of course Rosey would want a pink washing machine – I think you are being a bit tight!! 🙂
Wins the award for the funniest! The conversation rings true. Love it!
pretty please, what’s another favor between friends? 🙂
You’d be bored silly without her I bet. Everybody needs a Rosie.
I’ve always loved Rosie.
Rosey sounds like a fun sort! She would get on well with Martha 🙂
