Can anyone tell me how I can prevent my damm washing machine was wobbling around whilst on spin?

Our kitchen floor is slightly uneven and I have tried to reset the legs to compensate, but not without any real success. So any tips would be gratefully received.

are you making sure your load is even? you can do more harm to a machine by washing small loads as it doesnt get chance to distribute itself evenly around the drum.
you can try putting a piece of worktop underneath the appliance if there is room.
ideal load for a machine is when you can fit your fist inbetween the washing and the top of the drum (without forcing the clothes down obviously)

cant get my missus off the dam thing when its on spin cycle so b4 you try and fix it you should check with her she wants it fixed,you know how women get when you take away their small pleasures in life,alternately if you have the old type with a chunk of concrete as the counter balance wieght im pretty sure these are adjustable.

It might be down to how many rpm it does on the spin cycle. The higher the rpm the more it will wobble. If you adjust the legs a spirit level comes in handy to tell you when the machine is dead level. Other than that get the missus to sit on it as it will be cheaper in the long run than a rampant rabbit. ;)

I had the same problem in my flat on Brighton Seafront. The best solution that we came up with was to screw in a wooden bracket to stop it moving. Still shook the place up though.

Wooden?
Sorry what century is this 17'th century????
