Hope it isn’t too expensive and your sheets were clean and not half way through a wash...but I’m presuming the wash had finished when you tried to open the door to get them out. Never rains but it pours.January spends - £587.581

Question of the day.
I have some tins of tuna which are dated 2015/2016.
Would it be ok do you think to give to the cat boys? :think:I am a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Mortgage Free Wannabe & Local Money Saving Scotland & Disability Money Matters.

I'd open them and if they smell like tuna, then I'd think they'd be fine. In fairness, cats are mostly pretty good at not eating stuff that's not right, so they're probably the best judges!

You and me both with the washing machine. Mine needs a new motor, door lock and PBE (whatever that is?). Fortunately mine covered by insurance but they have to order parts so don’t know how long it will take
Re the tuna, as it’s best before, go by appearance and smell, it’s use by dates you have to be wary of. Cats are very picky so you’ll soon know.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)1 -
