    Hooters thank you for your offer(sorry i dont know how to use quote yet i;m not very techie)the washer only leaks on its final spin if that helps.


    my plumbers couldn't really say much more from the info apart from a possible seal nicked or cracked, and when the spin cycle - the fastest and most furious part of the cycle at the end, just forces water through. sorry couldn't help further, any more details?

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Elly, I would definately recommend the snowballing site.

    Once you see how soon you can be debt free and the amounts reducing it can be quite reassuring.

    Good luck :)

    You need to revise your SOA to include your actual expenditure including basics like food.

    Also list up the APrs for everything that you have not put up previously.
