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

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

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?

Coupled with not leaving all of your black work uniform on the line when you go for a weeks hols to sydney Its now all brown and I didn't realise till late last night when hunting for said articles and found them, on the line I looked cracking for work today. My boss asked me if i needed an advance to get new stuff

Fixed it!

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

It's safe to say you don't own the blue ones

You would have to ask the wife - she's the pegger!
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!
