    Another nice bit for the pot! I once had a machine not drain and when i took it apart there were some bones in the pump from the duck from the chinese takeaway. A friend thought they were helpful loading a tea towel in the machine without realising some bones had been put in it - not idea why they had but at least it was fixable!

    I've got a 7kg Beko, but I wouldn't have anything else by them, both fridge/freezer and washing machine have broken just as 1 year is up, luckily i had taken extended warranty. MIl had one of their cookers and it always burnt the bottom of the cakes. Plus they have this whole new reputation of fridge freezers catching fire :eek:.

    Enjoy the peace and quiet! I won't get any now until school starts again!

    Hi LiT

    I do you find some time to chillout as well as runaround flyladying. ;)

    Well done on sorting the washer out, I think that could be the problem with mine, I think I will have to pull it out and take a good luck and fingers crossed get it sorted. I certainly dont want to be buying a new one with the jollies coming up.

    Enjoy the tidiness and the peace and quiet chick.

    You had a lucky escape from him then and the relationship was a temporary set back ;)
