he Insideouters and their friend Mr. Sockeater live in Mr. and Mrs. Ledbetter's washing machine at No 4 Whitewash Road. There is Mr. Inside, Mrs. Outer and their children Fluff and Lint and of course Mr. Sockeater.
The Ledbetter's also have two children, Daisy aged 5 and the sometimes naughty Tom aged 6 and three quarters. Daisy and Tom have a lazy cat called Jess.
​
The Insideouters and Mr. Sockeater are very difficult to see, as they are smaller than the smallest thing that you can imagine and they live in the door seal of the washing machine. If you do see them you can almost see right through them!!!
​
There is nothing the Insideouters enjoy more than pulling the washing inside out with their enormously long arms, and then taking a spin, squealing in delight at the top of their voices “ Yum Yum Spin My Tum” and there is nothing more the Sockeater enjoys than nibbling at a freshly washed cotton sock.
​
Now Mrs. Ledbetter knows the Insideouters live in the washing machine because every time she takes her washing out of the machine some of it is Inside out and every now and then a sock goes missing or comes out of the machine with a little hole in it.
At night when it goes dark Mrs. Ledbetter sometimes leaves the washing machine door open and when all is quite in the kitchen, the Insideouters occasionally climb out of the washing machine, and yes you’ve guessed it, look for clothes to turn inside out.
​
White wash, colour wash, delicates, cottons, low temperature and woollen wash, the Insideouters love them all!!!!
