Re: Clothes Woes
Cheers guys for your replies.
However...Unbelievably, the toploader has topped itself! Went to do a small
wash this afternoon and the things as dead as a dodo.
Don't know whether to laugh or cry!
Talk about Karma...
Anyway,going to stay calm and take a few deep breaths

Re: Clothes Woes
I bought one of these babies
LG 10KG front loading washing machine
The number of loads is almost reduced by half - brilliant! It cost me an arm & a leg but its absolutely the best household appliance I have ever bought.
Edit - :scared: I just saw the price they are quoting as RRP when I scrolled down, I didnt pay anything near that much for mine

Re: Clothes Woes
great - so it isnt just me continously whinging about that f%*#ing toploader.
been trying to convince the man that my frontloader NEVER ate my underwear and didnt leave all my black shirts and knickers looking all grey and fluffy...
anyone out there with any advice on how to 'kill' it - so i can get a frontloader and walk around in clothes that feel clean again?

Re: Clothes Woes
i cant understand what all the fuss is about. we have a top loader. i just take my gear off, throw it on the floor next to my bed and it appeard all neat, tidy and clean a few days later. u lot must be doing something wrong.
oh and my machine also has a special function. put in a shirt and it turns it into a t-shirt by the summer

Kim not happy but it saves a few hassles
On a more serious level - getting back to the pegs...
my wife has just informed me this minute that only the BLUE plastic pegs seem to snap in the heat and that the red and green ones survive! You know when the penny suddenly drops? Mowing the lawn regularly, it's always the BLUE plastic pegs on the lawn - the ones that attack me with ferocious venom.Any scientists in the house as this is the honest truth?!
Thanks in advance

Actually she's butting in again - apparently we only have blue, red and green!!!
Blue is the worst and both red and green are fine!
There is something in this and its doing my head in now. Ok, they're the cheapest nasty plastic pegs available to humanity but it's only the blue ones that drop! :scared:
I'm not drunk by the way, ask around on the forum and the truth will out re the sadistic blue pegs(the work shy ones!)!
What is this all about? Anyway, off to bed now to contemplate.
Grayling - I can hear you cutting and pasting from here! sssshhhh!
Off to bed now. Sleep tight and don't let the blue pegs bite!
