Peckish Washing machine

Why do they always take the most inopportune moments to start working their way out. I've been kept awake during many a meeting in the past by wires poking into my chest bones.

me too - took to carrying a sewing kit with me at all times so I could patch up the escape route!

Tell me about it.. or they don't escape the bra, but decide they'll poke you under the armpit instead When tht happens, you'll find me removing said bra the second I step in the front door, much the bemuzement of Mr Shortie

I have slipped folded up meeting notes up there before, to stop the poking....did it in the loos not in the actual meeting you understand.

Rotate the drum very slowly and you might hear a scraping [make sure the radio is off and the family are hushed].....and feel round to see if it pokes out. It must be at some point or it wouldn't get the clothes.

And use a cushion under your knees, it could be a long job.

Now as I usually wear v-neck sweaters I always find the blooming things appear in the midst of my cleavage - just attracts extra attention

I was about to amazed at your cool bra wire ninja moves there z - great mental picture

Gonna have to wait for the bambina to have her pm snooze for this little job. Otherwise we'll be fighting for head space in the drum. She loves the washing machine - she dances to it mostly

P.S....if you absolutely have to do it in the meeting, try business cards.

What as in... Thank you for the business card... let me just slip it down my cleavage?

Your card?
Yes, thanks, just pop it in here for me will you?

If you haven't got any of your own, then yes!!!

Necessity is the mother of invention and all that.

Also check the filter, cos it might have made it's way down there by now.

I was going to say spin the drum around a few times & check in the filter too, last time I checked the filter it had a 20p piece, a one pence piece & 3 collar stiffeners out of O.H.'s shirts in it, not surprised it had been making noises when it was on spin!

[Incy]

This is going to sound daft but where is the filter on a washing machine and how do you check it?

[RedThorn]

was going to mention the bra wire as OH's (OI no comments! ) did this too but see that it's been mentioned. Try rotating the drum slowly in one direction and see if you can see it, if not, try rotating in the other direction and use tweezers to get it out...

[bobleponge]

Filter is normally at the front of the machine, on the bottom right. Often hidden by a small flap of metal (so it looks the same as the rest of it) open that, and you will see a screw in the middle of a plastic cap looking thing. Unscrew the screw, take it out and see what falls out.
The filter can be at the back, or front left, but it will be at the bottom.

do what Bob says ^^^ but put an old towel on the floor first
