guiness book of records

[misstake]

ok there are some new washing balls on the market ECOZONE im wondering if anyone would be interested in trying to form a chain with these balls do a wash and pass them on The add says a thousand washes ok They are eco friendly and ive found them very good This way we could all try them lol and get some publicety for jumble town
Well tell me im daft or reasons it might not work i dont think it has been tried before lol

[durran]

I'm in

[carmen]

how would it work

[misstake]

ok im still thinking about this But say i post it on to m m m Lynn but enclosing a letter i sign it ok she uses it signs it and say gillio another jter in her area is next she uses it signs it passes it on Each could say if they found it any good also Its just an idea also saves a few euro as each gets to try it for free
Well thats the idea i might even get currys to sponser it or the company lol Otherwise i will start it myself by buying a product i think has a few things going for it

[upthedubs]

Im in

[gillo]

I'm game too!

[motherbear]

Me too in the area of gillo and Linn

[misstake]

Well im happy to see some interest in this i picked Lynn as example but it could be anyone Now if you come up with a better idea im up for it ok Also if you want to try these eco balls i will pass them on ive used them and if the washing machine is not overloaded , LIKE MINE they are great My friend borrowed them as her son has exema and went and bought herself more she finds them great says his asthma is better also
Now its up to see if i can get the makers to sponser or currys lol and if not will have a go myself at sending them on
Does anyone know how we get the guiness book of records intrested do we jus t carry on or first let them know Hell i dont know can anyone help with this PLEASE

[Linn]

Well im in and i think its a brillant idea and i would be honoured to start it of. Apart from myself i know 4 other jumbletowners in my estate alone.
Well done Misstake, fab idea.

[kiara]

I'm in!

[The Mammy]

What a great idea, count me in.....I'd suggest maybe 2 washes per person that would be 500 people needed for 1000 or more washes or 250 people doing 4 washes each, might be more realistic?
Here's the link to GWR Site,

I will def join in,, and would be able to pass to 4 others that come to mind this very min. Great idea, but just one thing,maybe it would be better if you put it for a certain num of days and just people keeping a log of how many washes they do while in possesion of the balls. In my opinion, I would monitor how ,many washes it can do over a limited period of time, rather than reaching the 1000wash. Some households could have 3-4 washes one day and maybe 2 the next. One way or another It is a fab idea. Best Wishes with your adventure.

[taraoreilly]

count me in great idea

[MandyD]

I'm game! Count me in. I don't know any JTers in my area though... :-(

[mcan]

[misstake]

ok just got off the phone with ecozone they will send me the ecoballs free lol now i must get on to guiness book of records oh the balls are 37 euro for 1000 washes so so far so good

[MandyD]

So efficient, Misstake lol

[misstake]

i think yer man was terrified of me but its good publicety for him and this way i have a new set to start with

[MandyD]

Lisa

[jeana]

hmm, That's a brill idea coz if those yokes work- I'll buy some- I'd love a free trial and being a record breaker would be cool- hmmm - we should get the company to sort it with guiness book of records- it would be more official- you have to get approval for an attempt and then it is monitored---hmmm, yeh - I've thought about this before---bath full of beans- how many people could I fit in my car---hmmm, the eating ones wern't great, I'm tryin to stop eating...hmmm, most days on a diet....16 years....lol,

[Muirgheal]

Hi Just saw this thread this evening. Are these a form of washing powder and how do they work. Would love to give them a go as my washing machine never seems to stop. I live about 10 miles from Linn and there is at least one other jumbletowner in the village. Kind regards.

[misstake]

Well ive been waiting for them to get back to me but havent heard a thing With a few things going on here i just havent got back to them i suppose i better send another e mail Anyway i think if i dont hear soon im thinking of going ahead on my own and with your help we will give these things a good workout
Now in saying that ive been using mine this few months and find them great ok i cheat a bit lol if its a big dirty wash i add a bit of vanish but its saved me a good lot on washing powder Im still a fan of them

[referee]

is it to late to join....? id love to try them out

[DIDDLEY911]

Hi, I would love to join in also, with a family of 8 i could do the 1000 washes in no time..live in Abbeyleix and I know Maryqueenofthepots is around here somewhere..also I have introduced friends to tis site..so I could pass them on to them...God knows where in the country them balls will end up!!!

[misstake]

Ok I Bought The Eco Balls Today How This Is Going To Work I Dont Know Lol I Would Like Anyone Interested In Trying Them To Get A Chance
Sorry My Idea Of Guiness Book Of Records Is Down The Swanny I Dident Hear Back From Them So The Eco Company Dident Sponser But Never Mind We Will Have A Go At Trying Them Anyway
We Will Try Getting All Interested To Have A Turn Ok
Thats The Best I Can Offer

[BillieT]

I will def join in,, and would be able to pass to 4 others that come to mind this very min. Great idea, but just one thing,maybe it would be better if you put it for a certain num of days and just people keeping a log of how many washes they do while in possesion of the balls. In my opinion, I would monitor how ,many washes it can do over a limited period of time, rather than reaching the 1000wash. Some households could have 3-4 washes one day and maybe 2 the next. One way or another It is a fab idea. Best Wishes with your adventure.


Now I dont mean to be a party pooper, Cos this is a great idea, but I was just thinking, that if each person took the ball for one wash, in some cases it could still probably take 2 or even 3 or 4 days (in some cases, not all) to get to the next person - if that was the case it would take quite a while to get to that '1000'.
Maybe if the person taking the ball could hold two washes for that day and make a serious effort to get it on to the next person asap, and write on the list how many times you used it. I always have more than 2 washes a day. And I already have a couple of people I can pass it to. Only one of them is a JT'er and the other one is 'pending' lol. She will be soon though.

The Guinness Book of Records is another thing too - I think they have to physically be there to count all the uses - I cant see them going from house to house - but maybe we could get a newspaper interested and get some publicity for JT?

Anyway I'm in and can meet up with anyone who wants to pass it to me.

Billie

[misstake]

i think the idea is good but which paper lol i know Linn has a few lined up in her area and as im a beliver in them and know as a start they are fairly expensive but save in the long term i wanted others to have a try before they pay out for something they might not like so with staff discount i got them so if you want to try them welllllllll try for free first no im nothing to do with the company
Its just my way of saying thanks jumbletown for all the nice people ive met and chatted to on here and some ive yet to meet if that makes sence

[BillieT]

Well as soon as they get near to Portlaoise - or even some parts of south Dublin I can get one and pass it on to a few people in my neck of the woods.

[jpmum]

im in cork and know of 4 other jtowners here so would love to give it a go if it makes it down south :)

Who's good at logistics?......
Or are we just scrapping the whole idea?
Cheers
