Arrgggghhhh, water peeing out the back of my washing machine!

Youngest on towel duty while I try to find out how to stop the machine and still be able to get my clothes out...any suggestions?

Try Old Style or the 'inside my house' forum bit - probably better than us lot.

I haven't a clue, I'm afraid.

Er... well, so do I. They are quite nice. Add clover, nasturtiums, maybe a few runner bean flowers with hawthorn and dandylion leaves to an normal lettice and tomato salad, and you've got quite a nice little posh salad.

LIR: Have you considered selling home made jam? You can make it into quite a profitable business.

Can you eat clover? As is? The flower or the leaf bits? Bit small - not much nutrition in a clover, surely?

But kinda cute.

You could have a 'lucky salad' entirely filled with 4-leaded clovers.

Sounds like the pipe has popped out of the curved holder thingy. You may have to let it run as it's hard to overide the programme..so can you gently pull it out with the boys whilst it's running?

I have, I cook here, but have a hygiene issue in the kitchen (animals walking through). My eventual kitchen here is going to be in a bit of the house by itself. Less good for using the rayburn to heat the house...no rooms above, but better for food selling. Not sure how much profit I'd make.

edit I cook here, not I have a cook here! a lirism

Lots of stuff in clover. did you know that clover, for example, is sufficient to cause reduced fertility in some animals....sheep for example. Or bloat. Clover can cause bloat. but it does good stuff too. If you are not a greedy four leg eating it all day with poor table manners and a gourmand attitude.

If it's anything like ours...

Switch it off at the plug, get a bucket and unhook the hose at the back - put it into the bucket to drain the machine . The door lock should turn off once the machine is empty of most of the water.

Do you know where the water is coming from? If it is pouring out then it may have simply disconnected from the waste pipe it is draining into.

The cycle has ended now....thank goodness.

It probably is a pipe out, I just went into a bit of a mad panic and was throwing towels all around it whilst hoping and praying it didn't do another rinse cycle.

Getting the machine out will be fun, ex hubby put it in (with the bloke who installed it) and I have never been able to move the begger thing....thankfully, the machine is one which uses the least amount of water to wash or it could have been a lot worse.

Think I will be hand washing for a while.....

You can eat all of it, but frankly I wouldn't bother with any of it other than the flowers, which taste a bit like pea shoots. You would not really eat enough of it to make much nutritional difference, it would just be decoration.

Er... and wash then before you eat them. For obvious reasons.

So do I...:o


O M G I am never freecycling again. No time to even catch up on LJ thread which is on 1st page.

My inbox is exploding....and I deleted the posts and still the requests come in...

Do what I do and have a separate freecycle email account

Although, just reading on and you'd never be doing it again, what a shame . It has become rather a farce of late but that's because it seems to be filled with people wanting to furnish their whole house for free. I get the brighton one as well and I know what you mean.
