Top Tip Of The Day

Never put a valuable crystal vase on a work surface in the utility room directly above the washing machine just before it goes onto a fast spin cycle.

Did you catch it or not?

[aelmpvw]

if i had a valuable crystal vase or a utility room the two would never meet

[mrs_overall]

The first thing I knew about it was when I heard the smash...

[tiggerblue10]

I don't have anything crystal.

[humbersloop]

at least you're on the mend, if not the vase

don't trap the slow cooker cable between the pot and the lid

[boxtops]

Don't drop your electric toothbrush down the toilet when it's still plugged in

[SlackAlice]

I haven't got a 'utility' room, problem solved.

boxy, I have a massively high excess which is far more than the vase is worth. Also it was more priceless sentimental value than monetary

[Prudie]

On a similar note, don't put a large Galileo thermometer on top of a narrow television if you are then going to have the volume on max all the time - my mother did this and slowly and surely it sneaked off in spectacular fashion.
