    Thirded (is that even a word?)

    I think once you start negating the bad things and start to change things you'll feel better. My bed and bedding are now in the garden and I've had a shower. Once I bleach and mop I'll feel better.

    Is that "in the garden" on the washing line? Or "in the garden" on fire?

    Z you forgot to say - if the water going going to the pump is hot but there's no noise then try to wake the pump up with a good shove, or a decent tap with a hammer :).

    Waking the pump really does work, we used to have to do that some years ago.

    Although it wasn't just a tap with a hammer, it was more a violent beating with a spanner:eek: But it was effective.

    Give it a warning first with a good shove :D.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
