Mrs. Mills does the spin cycle

As ever, the indefatigable Mrs. Mills takes on the toughest questions.

My upstairs neighbour uses her washing machine daily — not once, but two or three times. I am going mad. When she uses the maximum-speed spin cycle, my ceiling shakes. I cannot stand it any more. How many washes is it socially acceptable to do daily? I do only three or four weekly (blacks, whites, sheets, colours). She has a child, but surely she can’t have that many dirty clothes?

Proving that technology is no match, Mrs. Mills sweeps away the problem with one sentence.

Find her a nice boyfriend and her spin-cycle fixation will soon diminish.
