Home & Garden - 5 September 2006

I know that this is stupid but I put a bathroom rug (medium size) in my washing machine. I heard it make a loud thumping noise during the rinse cycle and immediately stopped the cycle and pulled it out. I have not started it again put I could tell the rotor had been overworked because the machine was warm. Has anyone else ever done this. My husband is going to kill me if I broke it.

i have several attractive bath mats from my last apartment, and i'd like to wash them and use them in my new home (i really like the colors). is it easier / smarter to just throw them out and buy new ones, or can i toss them in the washer / dryer (or let them drip-dry)? they're standard carpet-y mats with rubber-y backing. thanks so much! :)

I am almost done with my bathroom.. the tiles are rusty brown with a little little LITTLE grey in'em! My bathtub and sink are white and art deco-y a bit!

I chose sparkly shiny brown tiles for my bedroom floor.... which I am in love with SO MUCH hee hee

I am thinking now, to add in colors and live to it.... to have some sort of deep dark purple in. Perhaps a bit green and orangish yellow or so! Red?

Give me ideas and suggestions.... I am all ears :)

Thanks

I've been with them for telephone calls for over 3 weeks now and they STILL have not transferred my Caller ID over from BT despite numerous telephone calls to people some of whom I can't understand as their accents are so thick. I spend hours waiting for them to answer as well and these calls are not free. I've tried emails too with no luck. I am not very impressed and considering reverting to BT.

I just wonder if other people have had the same experience.

i've always wondered why you PUSH the door open to go into a public bathroom, instead of PULLING. it wold make more sense, so that you can push the door open as you leave with your foot

I already have a woollen magnetic underlay as well as a ripple type foam one on top of that and the bed is still too firm for me. I don't want to go to the expense of buying a new mattress especially when I can't tell if it is ok without actually sleeping on it.

It's starting to look really scruffy. It has been here for about 10 years, we bought the place about 2 years ago.
