    My washing machine has decided it's not spinning stuff. I have a load of sopping wet towels in it:(. That fabulous moment when you realise you have not made enough mashed spuds to cover the top of the shepherds pie. I'd like to fcuk it all down the length of the garden, and come join ye in the pub. I'll be the cross looking little yoke with a rumbly belly :(

    Aha, thats what those mashed up defrosted potato croquettes are for dear! As are those packets of makey up mash from Tesco.

    I always have them in the fridge/press. Great in a shepherd's pie not enough real mash to cover moment lol. No one will know and if they do, tell them to go and make it themselves so.

    THIS a million times. You will get old, get used to it, if you don't you'll end up like mutton dressed up as lamb, with fish lips and cheekbones that could double as airbags... Look after yourself, by all means, but please be realistic and stop pretending you're a Barbie. And injecting God knows what into yourself won't improve the situation. The 'contents' are much more important/valuable than the 'container'/'packaging'...

    I had to go and buy a new washing machine this morning :( Mine is over 16 years old and owes us nothing, but for a few (many) months it's been doing weird things, not rinsing or spinning properly, the dial moves around randomly and other general worrying things. So I've known it will need replacing soon.

    This morning I could smell burning rubber during the spin so decided to take the plunge and not wait for it to go on fire or something...

    TA'd as I didn't plan on spending that kind of money before C*******s, but I suppose that's what the emergency fund is for

    New (eco) flipping washing machines, my 40deg wash takes 183 minutes, flipping weather has changed or sun has set by the time it's finished, quick wash is 30deg 30 minutes, but just doesn't clean right.

    That doesnt sound right selous..mine is 110 mins for a 40deg,have you looked at all the options?

    Speaking of appliances my dryer is supposed to stop itself when the clothes are dry but it has never happened and my freezer is meant to defrost it self and that has never happened either.I have shattered the front of the freezer containers trying to wedge them open and nearly cut my thumb off in the process,I stuck the bread knife through the back of it trying to dislodge the ice and this is because people dont close the door properly:mad:

    Exactly what I do, but a 40 wash is what is needed to get certain whiffs out (or a 60) I use that Dettol stuff too. well trained, I is.

    Where have people's manners gone these days?
    I don't expect hugs and kisses in the shop but a "Please" "Thank you" or "See you again" wouldn't go amiss.
    I've been to several shops today and not one cashier said one of those things.
    They all looked bored and as if I was inconveniencing them.

    Just FYI - It's actually because they were bored and you were inconveniencing them! Having spent my college years working in retail, my biggest TA at the time was customers. I should have been sacked...a lot.

    OH is working for some forward thinking multinational company that's all gung ho about wellness and stuff, and part of this is a certain amount of free money a year to ensure your spouse or parent or child is also er... "well" - basically, I'm being forced to join the gym because it's free. I know free gym would appeal to a lot of people, but I don't like them - Odd, sweaty, artificial places. I much prefer being outside with the dogs and doing real exercise. Now I have to shopping for runners and a sports bra and shorts etc. WTF, where do I even start? :eek: Plus I barely have the energy to get out of bed, how the heck am I supposed to run on a treadmill?

    If you get to choose the gym, try and pick one with a pool, sauna and massage. No runners required! :pac:

    My gym has a Restaurant, Cinema, Shops and a Hairdressers.

    Some people call it a shopping centre...but I prefer to call it a gym as going there is the only exercise I get some weeks. :)

    My wife has started acting like a religious nutcase, just to annoy me. It's not even a consistent role she has adapted! She usually opts for songs such as "Bind us together Lord" which she even puts on on youtube to sing along to, but it doesn't mean she can't swap roles and serve a falafel wrap with a kitchen towel on her head whilst praising Allah.

    The worst thing is that it really irritates me and she knows and continues to wreck my head!

    Madly paranoid right now! Walking by a trio of junkies earlier and one of them starts roaring at me, in front of a packed bus stop 'Put a fcuking bra on' over and over again. I had a moment of 'fcuk, did I forget to put the boulders in the holders this morning'

    I did a little jiggle test in the lift when I got back into the office and they are no more jiggly today than any other day but I'm mad paranoid now and have my cardigan buttoned up and a big scarf on.

    And the most maddening thing was there was so much about this specimen that I could have picked up on and roared back at him but I really, really, really would prefer not to get my head kicked in over a pair of jiggly tits
