When you decide to purchase a container of hot chocolate as a surprise for your 11 year olds birthday coming up in October, remember to take it out of the bag of clothes you hid it in before deciding at the last moment to chuck these clothes into your brand new front loader washer to soak for 2 hours... You know, just in case you picked up any stains while traveling to Ohio. You might really want to reconsider doing this given almost all of this clothing was new to you from the consignment sale you attended last Saturday and were so thrilled to get such nice clothes for so little. It is not so much how much you paid for these clothes that you soaked in hot chocolate this morning, as to how much it would cost to replace all of it... new. THAT is what hurts, as well the fact that you totally destroyed an unopened expensive birthday gift to boot!

Ouch !
I think I felt the same pain when my son helped his Grandfather paint last week in a "new" Consignment store Nike shirt that I was hoping would make it as a school shirt. I just love consignment stores. I can dress my kids in the best for pennies on the dollar.
Have you tried soaking in Oxy clean to remove the stains ? My friend swears by this stuff. She soaks in it for a couple hours then adds a scoop more and detergent with all fabric bleach in it .
WOW!
Real special hot chocolate!
Your nice new machine got a real work out.
I hope you are able to salvage some of the clothes.
Sorry about that.
Hope you had a nice trip! ;-)
