I suppose if they put 40C wash and something went wrong Next would have to cough up. If they put dry clean the buck would more often than not stop with the dry cleaners.

Dry cleaning fluid is vicious so many many glues are resins just won't stand up to it. How strong are you feeling? You could take this right back to Next to sort if it's deemed not the dry cleaners fault.

I also have to say that the dry cleaner has probably not taken NExt to court under false labelling. This is a massive thing to say and unfortunately drycleaners say anything to not pay out compensation. It may well have been their fault. If it is, go to Next with what they've said, they may even fight the dc company for you.

A decent dry cleaning company who knew his company have taken Next to court over the issue would never have cleaned them. I think you've been fobbed off by the dc company. Did they refund you your dry cleaning costs.. at least?

This article is quite interesting:

Thanks dusty, TBH I CBA to make a fuss, they are crap quality all together, only accepted them as in the sale.

That said, I would expect them to survive one cleaning and two years, they're not even in a room that's used except once in a blue moon.

I made a judgement about the dry cleaner from the way he was on the phone, and I did believe him.

Hello again all! Was away for 6 days, back last Tues, and just haven't got back into any sort of routine, so here I am again, about to start a HHC from 3pm.

Anyone interested in joining? (My house is a MESS!)

Bye for now - into action!

As Next know of a problem though you don't need to make a fuss. A simple email to head office may get you some sort of compensation/vouchers. It's got to be worth a try.

DS3 bedroom all done and a few bits to give to the school craft fayre.

Time for a cuppa and then some paperwork or knitting.

Back again! In 30 mins I have:

- set up BM
- made my bed (about time!)
- folded and put away washing that's been hanging about
- cleared and wiped all kitchen surfaces, put away stuff
- shone the sink & draining board, cleaned over cooker top
- swept and damp mopped kitchen floor

Looks better already!

Cup of tea now, then will do some more.

Kids home from school and loads more crap today except DD been lashing out so has been blamed. I know she's no angel but with 3 on at her today i don't really blame her. I've explained that she shouldn't shout at people or hit them even if they do it to her. I'm not so sure she last much longer before she does something really silly and get into loads of trouble.

Meeting soon and i'm not looking forward to it.

and i've done no flying today.
