Well that's kept me busy, new washing machine won't drain, it's been 5 hrs, so have opened the door got out the sopping wash (water all over the floor but it's outside so OK) and finished it by hand, then did another load by hand and attempted to fix the machine, but cannot open the pump filter and if I use force it may very likely break. Have opened the drain tube and poured in bicarb and vinegar and it bubbled; then boiled a kettle and poured that down, whoosh, water everywhere, so it is blocked, screwed it all back in the hopes that Mr N won't know I've been "at" it. Damn! At least I do have an old spin dryer so that has helped. No time for dpression !
Shaney you have been unwell for too long!
