    Glad your head is ok Beanie :D Inamin, so sorry to hear about your dog :(

    I am on a day off today so cleaning and chilling in front of the tv. Waiting for Mum to return as the washing machine seems to have gone wrong. It may just be because it still hasn't been installed correctly, well I am hoping :o

    Have a great evening all :j

    Hi Beanie, don't know the water wasn't draining out. At the moment the waste pipe isn't attached to the outlet as its been sealed and we are waiting for the council to organise the installation. at the moment its being used with the waste pipe hooked over the kitchen sink. We now think its because Mum was trying to wash two heavy curtains. We have taken them out and is now waiting for it to empty before we put a normal load in. Fingers crossed its ok :)

    I did suggest that Beanie but apparently she has washed them before in that machine. She hasn't because they have never been taken down as they were in an unused room. They will have to go now as they are soaking wet, but at least we got them ouut of the washer.

    Ahhh it was a 26" tv (dvd/hd/freeview etc) only because they were vat free at our staff shopping night. I was planning to give her and note and buy one once we moved but this was too good to leave, it was only £179. So I planned for someone to look after it once I purchased it but I needed to get it tho their house, so a few white lies and it was done ;) Lil bro brought it home last week ready for Saturday.
