    Holly - you said for the 5th time - are they turning off your water without telling you? I'm pretty sure that's not allowed. For a start you need to make sure you have water for essentials, and secondly if they did it while the boiler/DW/WM etc were working it could cause a lot of damage. Can you send the water board after them?

    No they're not turning it off they keep damaging the pipe when they're digging.:mad: I would have thought they'd have remember where it was by now:confused:. At least this time they admitted it, one time they denied all knowledge even though the water was pouring out of the site.:rolleyes: The water went back on about 2pm and the Water board came out just after.

    Well I am wondering if the extra was caught in the machine and belongs to someone else, or whether I pressed the wrong button, and therefore it will come out of mine:confused:

    Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh no I cant believe I didnt - but i think I know why .....hold on...........I 'm back .....yesterday i was doing catchups for last week's thread which I havent posted yet and you were on there so when i was doing today's i kept thinking I have already 'done' jinky.....sorry honey - wouldnt miss you out for the world.
    What I was wondering was why you were still there and still packing - when I left to go into hospital you were meant to be moving over this last weekend i thougfht so now i am confused - but i did see that you have sorted things out with ex so I guess that was the hold up not the fact that you havent finished packing:rolleyes::confused: so I get to [STRIKE]nag[/STRIKE] encourage you for another week? or longer??

    am i forgiven? pretty please????

    hope your Gran is doing ok - thats a result with the money - but you need to check what was debited to her account.
