I have an Indesit Washer/Dryer which I bought almost three years ago, so it isn't covered by warranty anymore. I used it over the weekend on a cycle that should only take about 70 minutes. About three...
I was watching BBC3 through my set top box last night and every couple of minutes the sound would cut out for a second or so. Do you know what might have caused this? I seem to remember it happening a...
OK, I am a complete and utter novice gardener, but am keen to get started. My garden hasn't been weeded for a long time (at least a year - the time I have lived there). There is an area at the end of...

Has anyone else never flown/been in an aeroplane? I am 28 and have never flown. My husband flew to Boston before he met me, but other than that he doesn't fly either. Although he didn't have a bad...
Last night I was waiting for the bus. To begin with I was the only person waiting in the shelter. Soon afterwards other people started waiting for the bus, including an "older couple" (late 60's/early...

I got some lamb out of the freezer on Monday and put it in the fridge to defrost overnight with the intention of cooking a curry (using a curry paste) last night. My husband and I ended up going for...
I bought a 10.5kw electric shower to be installed after I had my flat re-wired, but my electrician told me that the power coming into the flat wasn't sufficient for such a powerful shower. I think...
