LJD1 my dw sometimes does that if something is vibrating against the wall inside, if you know what i mean...

Have you checked the filter LJ, other than that I haven't got a clue, hope it's nothing too serious it's hard to go back to washing dishes in the sink when you're used to a DW. Don't know how I managed to live without mine lol

Littleys just come down and apologised lol awwwww we're friends again now! pity her father wont be doing the same Grrrrr MEN!

Evening all.

Back from swimming. DS had a great time and has got his first certificate so is very pleased.

Had a chat with his teacher and I have signed up for next term. He wants to carry on as long as he is with his friend Jack so it will be at 5:30. Going to give it a go, if it is a huge hassle I am sure I will be able to switch at some point. It is the only thing I take DS3 to, DH does his football and with all the things I do for DS2 and 3 I feel I should do it.

DH just emailed to say he needs to see a guy at work who is in a meeting until 7 so he will be really late again. Can't feel cross as he is doing another project to improve his chances of going permanent as he is still tempory.

Tea just about done and then I'll get the kids to bed. Just going to do cards or accounts tonight as still feeling tired.

Awww that's great Dusty well done to your DS for his first certificate :T

I noticed Solway hasn't posted for a while, shell's missing this week too and Denise. Jill with the new baby hasn't been around for a while either. I wonder how moggins is getting on.

Yip, we've just found what was vibrating! The rotating arm thing that spins round spraying water (can you tell I know what i'm talking about). Luckily DH is very handy and thinks he knows the part we need which is about three pounds so fingers crossed! I would say DWs aren't worth it but they are, they are, they are. Goes off to have a tantrum so I don't have to do the washing up tonight!

Sending hugs and christmas wishes to all those not posting at the moment (oh, and to those posting of course!).
