    Evening

    WM is on the blink, the drum is not going round, water is going in / out, the power is on, clothes are not clean but are soaking wet.

    Have anyone any ideas over what might be wrong with it.

    Or

    What is the best new one, washer only.

    OH has become a grandad again, a boy 7lbs 11ozs at 2pm this afternoon, he has first photo, but so far has been unable to speak to his son or DIL.
