Its the waste hose on mine.....its got some tiny little holes along the hose. have wrapped sone duct tape around as a temporary measure... DP picking up a new one at lunchtime!

I reckon ours has been doing it for a while:rolleyes: The hot water inlet hose that's connected to the main water pipe, looks as though it's been leaking down on to the cold inlet hose, which has corroded it and made that start to leak as well.:mad::eek:

I only noticed it as I went to unload the machine and could hear water still running:mad:

Still the plus side is, that now the top and sides of the washing machine are very clean and the floor where it sits is soon to be very clean too!!:rolleyes:

All done today!

Will pop out to homebase in a bit. Also need to pop to the carpet shop for ideas for the babys room. Will get the new argos book & pop to the pet shop for cat food.

Anyone reading this who is thinking about embarking on flylady but still feeling overwhelmed. Don't. It really does work. My house is testament to this. It's reasonably tidy. I don;t dread the door knocking & am not thinking "arrggg, look at the mess" if anyone needs to come in.

When I started I generally could only manage level 1 & maybe level 2.

Once you've been at it a few weeks, your hard work is paying off. When I 1st tackled my bedroom, it took me most of the day. Today it didn;t take long at all.

The course work is doable without this piece of software thank goodness Kaz or I would be scr3w3d!

There's always time for :coffee: GnT - when are you getting married?

Bedroom done, apart from bottom sheets and pillowcases that are swishing in machine - why did I only buy 1 matching set of these for 2 duvets?

Think I might have to scrap some of my study time - my hair looks like I've been electrocuted this morning, much like :eek: so guess its a rewash and tussle with the hairdryer next.

Likkle Gibbon - its not until July but its a weekday, 50 miles from home and in medieval costume so guests need alot of notice!! I was supposed to have sentthem out with xmas cards!

Hope you get your hair sorted, mines currently drying under a nice warm hat whilst I work!

Really not going well today, casserole didn't cook properly yesterday so needs doing again before i freeze. Marg i need for pies is frozen and i've melted the bowl in the microwave!!!!

Time 4 lunch break me thinks!

will just post my replies and then get stuck in!!!

boddy glad you are feeling better. you most certainly are on a roll!
carslberg i love 'oldtimers' that is so appropriate for me!!! I didnt see you post but noticed a reply and realised I had missed something - DONT WORRY ABOUT IT! I have done the same many times and sometimes just getting it down on paper/or the thread is all it takes for you to see that you have managed to deal with it! Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease dont you dare stop posting we are so pleased to have you here on the thread and no-one on here will ever judge you - we are not like that - we would only want to support you!
