[Washing macine help]

Any washing machine techy's out there

we,ve got a Aquariues hotpoint washer and it was brill , did everything we needed , until this morning.

 

went to empty it from last nights washing and its still soaking , not only that its not washed at all just filled up and i drained it manually ( ie turned dial ).

 

i,ve turned it on empty to see what happens , but nothing other than filling with water and clicking alot but the dial ( which usually moves as washing progresses ) does,nt move at all , i had to turn to drain to get water out.

 

drum inside feels ok , turns manually at least and cant hear any scraping noises .

 

any ideas guys

 

thanks

[Mating]

as soon as you see vulva swell or as soon as you see blood spotting or how many days after that.

 

thanks

[TILLY]

sad news mate , what did the vet say re her being jabbed and still getting parvo virus.

 

its worrying , i,ve heard of other dogs that are jabbed getting it and one dog last month getting lepto and that was jabbed too.

 

i,ve just got maize boosterd this month and getting cali boosterd at end of month , £32 each my vet charged , its not cheap but not worth taking a chance.

[suspected lungworm]

Some believe that the Panacur may be a more gentle means of killing the worms rather than the Advocate. This may give less immune reaction so most people do use Panacur to treat. Advocate applied monthly is effective prevention. Stronghold has no licensed claim for lungworm although the active ingredient should kill it.

 

thanks apache thats useful to know

cheers

[suspected lungworm]

suprised your vet did,nt prescribe advocate , is'nt that a one off treatment thats superseeds panacur

[Dogs name and commands]

my labs name was jack and i would always used "go back " putting the "go" in front made it a total different command.

[kevlar stab vest]

thanks for your posative comments chaps heading needs changing to protective vest but cant do it from here .

 

i had 2 delieverd by CBUK , this one as just sat in the wardrobe

 

i wear one as pp while working on the doors , they certainly take the strain if someone takes a punch / kick / base ball bat to you and protects your ribs well.

 

if i could afford £400 for a top qual vest i would of bought one , but this was better than nothing.

 

Alas its not kite marked and do not advise anyone to go into battle wearing one or get them selves in a situation where they might be at risk .

 

just like to add ,i did a home test

i requested spare panel to test , i strapped it to a hay bale and shot it at 5 feet with a 12 gauge then proceded to stab at it with a lock knife and it held together well , they are really strong but alas not worth taking a risk with .

 

hope that clears that up , may be of some use to some one .

 

cheers
