    No NSD for me today. Did the weekly shop which cost £34.88 but I hope it will last at least until payday (27th). I really hope that the rest of the week will be NSD's:j

    kerri is it worth wrapping tissue around pipes etc to see where gets wet first?
    just a thought
    i had a leak under the sink that happened suddenly
    i had no problem locating the water that poured out of the cracked pipe while i stood in 1cm deep water!
    hope you track it down soon

    I think I'm gonna have to do something like that - i currently have some cloth wrapped round the pipes just to dry them off. I have my suspicions about the washing machine, so next time I do a wash I'll have my head stuck in the cupboard to see if it is the inlet pipe - I thought it had a drip earlier and I did tighten the connection so it might have been that.

    sorry about the cracked pipe you had - good job you did have ducks swimming round your feet too! :)

    I've also had a washing machine pipe leak
    In fact I had 3 leaks within 6 months of moving in to my new home!
    Worse thing about the machine was that you couldn;t see. I thought I heard water one day and thought 'nah'
    later that day i realised I COULD hear water when i went into kitchen and stood in water seeping up through the tiled floor!!!
    it was gushing from the y joint that hadn't been properly fitted & was a nightmare to get to - another occasion that called for ducks :rotfl:

    PS: I discovered last week that i now have a cracked cistern in my downstairs loo. so that is leak 4. I know I'm a bit of a water babe, but this takes the biscuit. Not having much fun!

    Hope you find the exact source soon and it's not too tricky to fix.

    Thanks everyone, yes congratulations are in order I am to be a granny! Though its early days yet so not counting our chickens so to speak, I am going to make the most of it all, Id love another baby myself but at nearly 43 with 4 teenage children still at home and 2 stepchildren both left home and a disabled OH I am a bit past having one myself! So this little one will be very special, I think we need a thread for Grannys somewhere here so we can share our worries, trials and tribulations!
