Too much excitement - even for me!

Since the adventurous bog pits of last weekend, my waterproof coat has been looking considerably dirtier. So I bought some special stuff, without detergant in, to wash it with. I put it in the machine this morning, after following the instructions carefully (and consulting a friend when the instructions were unclear). I came downstairs to make some lunch, about an hour ago, to discover there was foam POURING out of the washing machine! The inside of the machine was simply white with foam, and pouring out of the hole where the degerant usually goes, was similar white foam!!!!

I screamed 'ARGH!!!! - BECKY!!!! HELP!!!!" She came down, wondering what on earth could be the problem, spotted the foam all over our kitchen floor, and we both just burst out laughing!!! We both spent the past hour taking photos*, laughing lots, cleaning up the kitchen (we can now see the floor!) rinsing the foam out of the waterproofs.

All this laughing and excitement is all well and good, but my coat is STILL DIRTY, I've had to waste more time cleaning it by hand with the same stuff, so my work isn't getting done and I've still not have lunch!
