A question about : Washing Machine Doesn't Spin Final Spin

I know this is a long shot but I didn't know if anyone had any ideas.
If I put a towel in my washing machine, the final spin doesn't spin fast, so I end up with a sopping wet towel.

I think it is due to the weight as it doesn't happen with lighter clothes or if I scrunch the towel out and pop it back in.

Thanks

A question about : Mum to be planning budget

hi all,
I've got a baby on the way and I need a bit of financial advice from someone impartial...
After maternity leave I will be getting Ј1980 a month working for NHS and I can work 4 longer days, 37 hrs a week
My hb gets Ј1600 in his current work, but works 60 hrs a week over 5 days and he often is fed up.
We live in a large town, don't spend much money on petrol, but are fed up with his job and the town is a bit boring for us, although have a cheap and nice house (it's rented though).

A question about : Should I refuse to pay service charge and leave cash tips?

I regularly eat at a local restaurant, which always adds a 12.5% service charge to the bill. Service is good so I haven't minded paying it. However, I recently discovered that about 80% of that money doesn't even go to the staff who serve me, the restaurant keeps it. How can I get around this? Should I refuse to pay the service charge from now on and give cash tips to the waiter/waitresses?

A question about : Love my new 9kg Washing Machine

What a saddo, I am well chuffed with my new Beko washing machine. It is a 9kg load. It's amazing, I got 3 lots of bed stuff in it in one hit. I swear by Beko, they just keep going and going.

An ordinary daily washload only takes half an hour.

It's also quiet on the spin and does a 15 minute wash which is amazing. I will even be able to get the quilts in it. All for Ј299 in the sale from the co-op.

I need to get out more xxxx

A question about : im so cross with my ex.

We split in May after a very horrendous time for myself and the kids and putting that aside we have moved on and the kids and myself are far happier but my ex pays no child support at all.
He is living with some frinds in the 2nd most expensive area of the city we live in, goes to college 2 days per week and works the rest.
He goes out drinking at the weekends, to the pub, out for meals, clubbing etc (is it still called clubbing, i wanted to put disco).

A question about : What should we know before we start TTC?

To cut a long story short, 2015 would appear to be the start of the TTC era for me and DH. I'm excited, but terrified by the great unknown which is coming my way. I hope that's normal!

I've been covertly gathering pre-conception advice from friends for a while, but I've not dared inform them of our plans this early on, so instead I'm asking all you lovely people who've hopefully got words of wisdom to share - what should we know/do before starting this journey?

A question about : Thermo lunch boxes/Bags

HI All,

My husband is in hospital and will be there for a while until he fully recovers. Food is not great , so have to cook some days and deliver. They dont have microwave. So looking for some good Thermo lunch box or bag. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Vids

Best answers:

• You would be better off with a food flask for stew/pasta etc. Thermal bags can be put in the washing machine BTW.
