Saving Money !!!!

Sometimes we can safe ourselves a lot or maybe just a little money ......
You want to know how  you ask?????????????

That's easy ...........

just follow the following steps......

Step 1: when an appliance is giving problems or stop working, do a basic inspection  by looking in side it without taking  it apart, if its small enough to hold in your hands just turn it around. for example :
my washing machine was not working correctly I DID NOT DO THE BASIC INSPECTION, this can cost you money if you don't do this

Step 2: If the problem is obvious fix it yourself or by process of elimination find out what the problem is, so that when you do have to call someone you have an idea of the problem e.g. is the drum turning while hearing the motor running or is there power reaching the appliance etc... maybe it just need a new plug or a new light bulb

Step 3: if you really cant fix it call someone, but at lease have an idea of what is wrong. have it fixed before rushing out and buying a new one it will cost you less to repair than... back to the washing machine I did call someone why because I did not do the basic inspection first.

If i did do the inspection I would have found the missing new pillow case that disappeared strangely on Wednesday when i wanted to wash it.
The pillow case some how found its way in to the turning mechanism at the bottom of the washing machine,  hear I am already stressing about not having the money for a new machine, once the pillowcase was removed in one piece the machine was working as if nothing ever happened

How much did this cost me: Just R50 bucks for the my dear old friends petrol and a glass of cool drink and and an ear for him..

It could have cost me roughly R 2500  for a new machine ......

which one would you chose ?????????
