Very annoying. Buy a new one?

I hate that my kitchen floor isn't level and my fridge door won't stay open - just slowly and annoyingly swings shut on me as I'm trying to put the shopping away.

YABU... Despair is an emotion that shouldn't be wasted on bin lids. Keep it for something important

Wait til your hoover mysteriously stops half way through a long overdue session, leaving one half of the floor pristine and the other covered in bits and fluff... THEN you would dispair.

COLLIECROSS is it a Brabantia touch bin? If so you can get a free replacement as it has a lifetime guarantee.

I'm on my 4th lid.

I don't even have a bin - we use a carrier bag on a cupboard door handle.

January get a washing up brush with stiff bristles and clean the inside thoroughly (tht the drawer slides into, especially the top).

I have the door-swinging-shut-on-me fridge problem too, think the door is overloaded. I find tutting and sighing in an irritable fashion when DH is close enough to hear the only thing that really helps. Oh and I've trained my 3yo to hold it open for me too

I am in despair over my washing machine. It died amidst horrible whining noises (machine not me) and clouds of acrid smoke. We are moving in a few weeks (I hope!) and there is a built-in machine in the new house so no point in getting a new one. Meanwhile DH and the DC will be paying a few visits to the laundrette I think!

look at it as one less thing to move

Glad to hear it's finally happened
