Sending hugs to dancemum. That is horrible...

Nice meal out with 2 colleagues last night. Good to catch up on all the work gossip. One had her 4 year-old granddaughter with her.. she was really good and was a credit to her family...

Best get a wiggle on, DS3 already started on his desk, DS2 can get out of his bed and strip it. I'll write a note for each person so no reason to miss chores (DS1 will be doing kids cricket training this morning then straight on to match, he can help with what is left over tomorrow!)

Morning All

Sorry I haven't been about much this week as work and home have been pretty manic!

CY - you've been in my thoughts.

LW - hugs

Dancemum - hugs

Congratulations to Valli's DD

Bunbun - you were thinking about me re Scouts - glad your DS took part.

We're going out today to buy DS's prom suit (primary) then we have got his football awards evening tonight. I'm going to strip our bed when I get out of it in a min and then see where we go from there.

Have a good day all

Hugs

One load of washing on line, bed stripped and in WM, coffee pot cleaned, was green!!! Sprayed kids liberally with sun cream. Smells like holidays!

Thank you everyone. Your continued support is keeping me going. Waiting for the scan results by phone next week is very difficult.

Hmmm seem to have a problem with my WM it comes up with how long each cycle is, for instance 50 minutes, and it's taking atleast twice as long?! Nothing else seems to be pressed in? Don't know what to do?!

Have you cleaned the filter out recently or the water inlets in the drawer? the water inlet requires taking out the drawer and scrubbing the gacky stuff off the top of the drawer slot.. they get icked up with detergent and softener and its gross, normal running a clean cycle doesn't clean that bit!

It could also be you are using too much wash powder and it is causing loads of suds which the machine is struggling to rid itself of so run a clean cycle too. If that doesn't work it may be the pipe from the drum to the filter is partially obstructed to not emptying as fast as it should.

2.5 loads of washing on the line.. glorious drying day here!
2x WM

big rubbish chucked out the front and removed

Daily stuff done
Lunch made for work
Late shift again today yuk
General sorting and tidy round done
Going to wander around the garden for a bit

missymoo is the machine old? Could be the heating element if scaled up and not working as efficiently. The hotter the wash the more 'out' the time would be.

Online banking all sorted.
DS2 making the cricket teas
DS1 training kids
DH out running
DS3 being a PITA
WM1 on

Shower for me.
