    Morning all

    Dozed after DH went to work til almost 10am which I needed. Since then I've really only had breakfast and watched tv though I have washed up!

    Cleaned WM filter last night, nothing seemed to be stuck in it but it was quite gunked up with limescale. I cleaned it all and it seems to be working ok this morning. I do wonder if something is stuck somewhere but in the meantime at least it's ok. I've just put some stuff down the kitchen sink which has been draining really slowly as that might be part of the problem. I'll also do a 90deg wash later with the machine on empty to clear it all out, just need to buy some vinegar as we've run out!

    I'm going out to lunch today with my friend who has just moved down here, will tidy round before that and fly properly this aft - just want to get it done now.
