I love keeping the "Hello, this is John from Microsoft. There's a problem with your PC" ones on for as long as I can.
So sorry to hear about the overlocker. Is it really RIP? If so i am sure you are really going through whether you really need one in your mind. If it was me, and i know you aren't much like me!!, I'd take it back off the bloke and just soak it for ages in the mix i mentioned and give it a wiggle every day until it finally started to move, then once it was a bit freed off I'd give it back to blokey and ask him to give it another dose of looking at.Not raining but very mild - the day and night temps are almost equal!
Housework day today as my floors are looking like an extension of the garden courtesy of all the leaves, hedge trimmings etc brought in by the dogs. All the bits stick to them and then they spend the evenings pulling them all out and depositing them on the floor before falling asleep leaving me to do the clearing up.
Still mourning the probable loss of my overlocker.
Saturday has finally arrived so make the most of it and enjoy life to the full.
I did say "keep an eye on it and dry the crystals off in an oven" but I take your point!
Feck, that sounds really sh!t. Sorry mate. sympathies.Oi @My Old Landy the phooking hill Billy’s next door have turned the farm track to mud. I’m soon to lose my 5hit big style. In fact I’m such and inconvenience I’m thinking about moving out temporarily as not to inconvenience them

Lord knows what they cost now, but I can't see them being cheap. Just had a look. aldi doing one for £150, but they do go right up in price.
But things might change as I do have more time available now.
We can only wish you the best of luck with all of this.That is my plan! I will just wait until he rings me to see if his soak has freed it and if not I will do exactly what you suggest.
The equivalent to mine is now £799 but that is very much only in the mid -range of what's available. They have developed 'air-threading' now ( £0000's ) and that must be wonderful as threading a four or five thread one is a bit of a nightmare. I do it the lazy way and knot the new thread on to the old and then pull it through the 'cogs' before removing the knot and then threading the needles. Even doing it this way, a 'bent' pair of tweezers (supplied) has to be used to get to them 'cos the loopers are in the way.
After using an overlocker and getting used to its value 'sewingwise', I do not think I could do without one even though I do not do as much sewing as I used to.
Do you want me to park the Koleos over their drive........Oi @My Old Landy the phooking hill Billy’s next door have turned the farm track to mud. I’m soon to lose my 5hit big style. In fact I’m such and inconvenience I’m thinking about moving out temporarily as not to inconvenience them
