    I bet you are so glad you didnt go back to the shop with that one :rotfl:

    It would have been not so much egg on my face as the full English.

    But hey, if I can move heavy objects after a night's sleep, what else can I do? Ooh, it's so exciting!

    Following last night's washing machine grief (water all over the floor, expensive plumber, then machine deciding not to wash) I was almost ready to explode.

    I had a picture of this, but decided not to use it...
    _pale_
    Instead I went to bed to "sleep" on the problem, meditating on the rather fine picture posted by ZTD (above) - ain't she just a babe?

    Looks like she's a bit of a tart - she can't close her legs...
    This morning, I woke up feeling like She-Ra (she's the Princess of Power, btw). I grabbed hold of the shiny new machine and yanked it out from under the worktop. No arguments - out it slid,

    It knew not to get inbetween a girl and her washing...
    although helped by a sneaky application of washing up liquid along the front.

    Lubricant - always helpful.
    Examining the pipes and taps, I found that last night's lovely plumber had switched off the water supply as well as tightening the valves.

    Ooh, looking for another call-out..? What a cynic I am...
    So the problem is now remedied and my clothes are spinning around like Pete Burns. :T


    Go She-Ra!

    I'm clearly a superhero. After a little light flat blitzing, I will be off to right the wrongs of the world. If you have any requests, do let me know.

    Do I want to ask for anything from a girl (which may annoy her) who has a big sword and knows the power of lubricant.... Err no.

    Your washer is obviously working though ^That dress/hankerchief is whiter than white.

    Ooh, err, ZTD. Nice references there! There were also comments at the Saturday night party about the spin function.

    I haven't just bought a useful household appliance then. I appear to have upgraded my Rabbit...

    The optional seat will be with you within 21 days, in a discreet brown wrapping. Incorporates an alarm to give you timely warning of the spin-cycle commencing.

    Thank you for shopping with us.

    So sorry, Peach, but I only said I woke up feeling like She-Ra. 'Twas merely a tribute to your good self.

    Anyways, I'm not a pneumatic blonde. More of a gorgeous, pouting brunette. ZTD has the picture almost right. :rotfl:

    I'm impressed by the haircut on the Speedos.

    But they seem a little "empty". :eek:
