I too have had (proper) flu in the past and this was nothing like.......was starting to worry that it was something more serious. Over it now...but it took its time in shifting.

Thank @Slowlycatchymonkey......going to take a look at it now.

Have a good New Year everyone.

No plans.......as usual.

Washer fitted .......beeps when powered up....beeps when a washing programme is selected.....beeps everytime a button is pushed...... On a label it says "read instructions before operating".......and where are the instructions?....inside the drum......only question is.....How the fuck do you open the door?.....took 10 minutes for us to get it to open.

Childminding today....glad its not all day.....

Posh git.

Gave up......it's nearly a total strip down to get to the pump where the pipe is fixed....Screwfix visit back on...

@Buckster....der!.... Did not think of that......Thanks buddy.

For the sake of fuck!!!!........the washer drain pipe ain't fucking long enough. A visit to Screwfix next week.

Is there a Welsh version of a Glasgow kiss?

Despite still feelings a bit shite I wish you all a very Merry Christmas.....have a great day with your friends and family...

Fucking fat guy missed our bungalow......

Cheers Rich........I am just about to do battle with the washing machine......... I am knackered just thinking about it.

Have a great day.

Scrap yard is nearer..........council recycling centre about 2 miles further away........but its always very busy with the resulting long queues....so i would rather take in to scrap yard and get nothing for it and no queuing.

Now there is a thought......Next door neighbour has one of those dustbins that you burn garden crap in...... We have one scrap yard in town.......could take it there after the Christmas/New year's closedown.

On his past efforts there is no telling where the washer would end up ....and it would not be level.

If! I feel a bit better tomorrow my Christmas day morning will involve fitting our new washer in its alloted space in our kitchen.... It's going to take more effort to get rid of all the packaging.......shitloads of polystyrene and shrink wrap.

Feeling marginally better today.....after a very disturbed night. It seems I have passed the lurgy onto my daughter. I told her to keep away......kids!...they never listen.

Yep the best part of me went down the pan...

A little.........but some good news...had my 1st dump since last Sunday......headache has gone.

New washing machine has been delivered............just needs the water and drainage pipes connecting.......I doubt I will do that for a while yet. Still feel shit and about as strong as a junior asprin.
