    IS any luck with a technician.

    You might have same as my probs as we live near each other and it is a very hard water area causing loads of limescale build up (why need loads of viakal & cif for bathroom:D:rotfl:) this affects the running of our washing machine and know I should always use the calgon or similar but what happens I run out keep forgetting to buy then realise gone a while not using them.:(

    Hope it gets sorted it is such an inconvenience when it isn't working:(:(:(


    Just done one cycle of clothes and it worked fine. Actually its a bit of hit and miss. I know hard water causes lot of problems....:o

    I need to try it one more time to say its fixed FINALLY but till then I can say its a bit of luck if it works. Have informed agent so will have to wait till he turns up again...



    With more and more stories of trouting, I am really scared to "recycle" my apg's:o

    Jeff, how is your local store in accepting apg's??

    Well done CM on ebay sales...I missed this recent long free listing offer..as I was on holiday.
  • That's why I got fed up with my machine being unreliable so went and got another:( it kept just stopping mid cycle had no idea whether it had washed clothes or not it didn't seem to want to spin BIL thought it was cos the pipe had been getting squashed but that didn't fix the problem things were ringing wet do gave up.

    That is why this time went to Cosco and got one so if similar happens even after several years can take it back for another so like constantly recycle and only pay what ever extra. Just done this with my stream generator iron have had it atleast 5/6 years but kept spitting muck onto the clothes took it back got £93 back put it towards the phillips one we got abt £215 but it is fantastic likewise when this starts to play up will change for another:D The only downside with cosco is choice when we went there was only 1 washing machine not that impressed but so far it's been ok. So initially you have a big layout but worth it when you need to replace;)

    People were talking earlier about people getting different showings on MSM and someone was explaining were they logged in as it compares to your area. I think that's what it was about haven't been on now for a while just catching up here after tidying my messy kitchen:eek:

    Mortgage-free Glee!
    jeferey please say you done seperate shops as Bulmers T's and sure cereal only at W's:eek:
    Oh poo and not the stuff you wash your hair with :(
    That's what rushing does for you - not lost anything on cereal - just had a look on MSM, just didn't get the max. benefit.
    Maybe on my 5th attempt I'll get it completely right :rotfl:
    Used an APG to part pay for it.
    If it had worked properly I'd probably get one for over a tenner which may have been a problem at small A's anyway.
    If at first you don't succeed, try, try, try - oh bu99er that just cheat :D

    Morning peeps...

    No shopping/ shopping list for me as our washing machine is out of order since I came back from holidays.:o

    Today the person came in and cleared the drainage pipe and all as it was not draning the water. It was spinning when he finished working with it. Now when I tried putting clothes it it its not working. Just the power light is on and nothing else.:mad::mad::mad::mad:

    OH is angry with me as I forgot to take the phone no. of that technician.

    Now called house agent to arrange for that technician again...:(

    So need to be at home..

    Hope you are having a great glitching day...:)

    What a nuisance breaking down.

    Hope you manage to get it fixed hun

    CWxx
  • We don't eat those:( but was going to try one of all the tubes but suppose that's christmas stock and we didn't have any at our store this morning. Probs best as :eek: at the APG that would have come back. So pleased about the nuts and there are kettle crisps so can stock up for the party with those. Do you think could get away with just crisps and nuts to feed everyone at party save all that prep:D:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:


    I am sure crisps and nuts will be fine. However you could add Pilgrims cheese cubes on sticks, baby carrot batons and maybe some Dairylee spread. I am sure you can pay for a few crackers for your guests:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
