This has been annoying me recently...
My neighbour keeps leaving his washing out for days at a time, even in the rain.
I have a terrible urge to climb the fence and bring it in myself.
That fence is 6ft, I've climbed it a few times.
(I was closing their gate to stop their wee dug escaping)
I always left mine out when I was a young harassed mum, there was always another sunny day coming.
I don't do it now though. Ive learnt that every dry day could be our last

That's very true!!

Especially if you live in Scotland, we can have four seasons in one day.

I have a really irritating neighbour.
She lives three houses away, and in the summer, when we are relaxing in the garden she starts to sing....more shout really, at the top of her voice. No backing music, she isn't singing along to the radio, it's just just her own voice, screaming and yelling away to some tune no one could recognise.
I think she must think that other people want to hear her racket.....they dont.

I spend more time using a screwdriver and allen keys than fabric and thread.

Just in case anyone ever has a timing problem (bobbin thread won't pick up) here is a vid explaining. it will save you at least £100

Told them I was not happy that this machine is so temperamental, so they took it back for repair. then said they will send me a brand-new one yesterday and its here. . Ive not tried it yet here's hoping it's a better one.

My next door neighbour does that too....she is Indian and gabbles away, it's her sister she is calling, on and on they gabble, for hours....and her sister only lives in the next street.

I'm glad you're all up and running now. It's annoying when you buy stuff and it doesn't work. I'm looking around for a new machine. The Jaguar bit made me laugh.

Plastic always turns around in the dishwasher. drives me mad and if enough bits have water in them then everything will stay wet when the cycle is finished. It only happens to me when the kids have been over as the baby stuff is plastic.

I didn't know that Smithy, maybe the one's I've been blaming have been telling the truth when they say it isn't them.

It's the force of the water. Crockery is heavier and not affected. but plastic will spin, then fill up with water and stay put.

Good idea Jack and with the doofer I bought a few weeks ago, it won't take long.
