Thanks I'll definitely check that out, one I have is about as old as I am because my dad just refuses to admit the thing is done in an get rid of it, but it's really starting to drive me nuts now, you put it on for an hour cycle an it takes like 2 hours because it someone keeps adding time to itself, so I badly need a new one

Washing machine time isn't like real time though! A lot of newer ones have really long cycles to be more eco so make sure it will do what you want if you like a shorter cycle.

Yeah this one's old, if you put it to an hour's cycle then it used to be an hour, but the electronics are just so trashed now with it that it takes hours because it keeps resetting itself halfway through, but if you just switch the thing off it keeps the door locked so you've no choice but to wait till it decides when it's done

It's how I need a new one, even if it's eco friendly an takes a bit longer I know it's not going keep resetting itself like the one I have where you never know when it's going finish

Anyone know anywhere reputable (on high street or online) where I can get an old family VHS put onto a DVD/disk/memory stick? X

I had some Video8's converted to memory stick by these guys, https://digitalconverters.co.uk/product/convert-videotapes

Would definitely recommend.
