A Spanish designer has come up with what could be the perfect solution for the woman who feels frustrated that she has to do all the house chores.

It is a washing machine called "Your Turn", which will not let the same person use it twice in a row.

When the sensor is then plugged into the washing machine, the software will only allow the wash programme to start if a different finger is placed on it each time.

The one thing it will not do though is something that most guys are notoriously bad at - separating the whites from the coloureds.

Who could come up with such a devilish machine? Luckily, we still can mess up the content. A bunch of soft-colored (formerly white) shirts should do the trick.
