Another diary-type entry full of the excitement that is our lives at the moment.

We are so busy just now! Spent yesterday installing new washing machine, which involved drilling a HUGE HOLE with one of those huge hole drilling things and was very exciting and satisfying and went well. Sadly the waste water pump on the washing machine we have been gifted appears to be dead, so we have to decide what to do about that. There's still loads to do on the house, but we're getting there slowly - we've also fitted the sliding mirror doors onto

spikeylady's new double wardrobe, it wasn't too hard and they're cool. All the zillions of folk who said "get an electric screwdriver" - you were so right.

asrana is coming around tonight and we're all watching House of Cards. I've got Polyday stuff to do, and I've recently agreed to help out with some BiCon work too. I think I need to get a bit more organised.

Anyone know anything about washing machines? Is it possible that what looks like a failing waste water pump (when put on spin, water is sloshed about but none comes out of waste pipe, even when pipe is disconnected and I'm holding a bowl under the outlet) is actually something I can do something about, or should we just get a new one? I've checked the filter and it's clean; on the other hand there is a sound that might be something trying to pump, so maybe something is blocked.

I need a DIY icon. Now we have ear defenders and safety goggles, I'll have to get a photo of me drilling.

Right, off to sort out a service wash.

cheers!
