    Wow, your kids are doing GRRREEEAATTT! Sounds like you are having a super day!:D

    I trusted Hubby with the shopping last week and he did really well. We've still got lots left! I told him he did well and he was just so smug! As a result, it's his job from now on, which is great because I hate shopping! Hope it works out that way at your house. :)

    AARRGGHHH

    Just been checking my drum capacity and only go and find out that Dyson are no longer repairing or supplying parts for my machine :eek::(:mad:
    They consider them obsolete - gutted.

    Their service was brilliant - I used to pay £80 and that covered the engineers time and any parts and our engineer used to replace more parts than needed to as it was all included in the price.

    What will I do if it breaks down :eek:

    The good news is that all the washing machines on the market now have the same or bigger drum capacity so if I have to buy another one it will be ok (except of course the money :rotfl:)
  • Oh lord, DH has just come in from the garden I thought he'd snuck out for a sneaky fag ..he thinks i'm a twit and don't realise he's sneaking them in- and, well, in walks a Jar head (if you seen the film you know what i mean :eek::eek::eek:) if not well dh has hardly any hair now. He's [STRIKE]butchered[/STRIKE] cut it I suppose the upside is that it's free and he told me he was saving money :think::doh:Suppose this could mean he's coming on board?! :rotfl::think:
