Mississippi Bullfrog Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 I haven't seen my parents for a while as they're both late 80's with health issues. But their washing machine has gone wrong so it's either an unknown engineer going from house to house or I can have a go at fixing it. Fortunately they live a stone throw from the sea so if all goes wrong the flood waters won't have too far to go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mississippi Bullfrog Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Washing machine mended - well it turned out to be the dishwasher in the end. Top tip - when working on dishwashers that won't empty so it's full of water, if you use a mobile as a torch - don't drop it in the water. Doesn't do the mobile much good. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slowlycatchymonkey Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 At the beginning of the first lockdown my dishwasher stopped working. I ignored it and then ignored it some more. After a couple of weeks of washing everything up by hand I noticed there was a faint whiff in the kitchen... I opened the dishwasher door to a thick layer of new life crustily waving over the bilge water I had completely forgotten about. The smell was something else. I shut the door again and desperately try to think of a way of not dealing with it but had nothing, even buying a new dishwasher wouldn’t get me out of it Eventually I found a bone jammed in the impeller courtesy of the little darlings being too lazy to scrape their plates. Theyve jammed it up twice more since. I’ve now threatened to come to their house when they leave home and break their dishwasher, I’m considering seeing it through Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rennie Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Good Afternoon We've never had a dishwasher! Food shopping all done apart from the Butcher tomorrow and that's ordered. We've been round the locality delivering cards (Covid safe of course). I bought myself an early Christmas present! an electronic drum kit! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of wanting it by 4th January.......they now want it by 30th December! That's 8 days away.......and 3 of those will be Xmas Eve, Xmas Day, and Boxing Day. Which gives me 5 days remaining to get it done so it doesn't interfere with Xmas! Couldn't start it earlier because I was waiting for their content to come through........that came a couple of hours ago. So I've got to start blitzing it tomorrow........it's going to be Migraine City baby!

Slowlycatchymonkey Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 I know politics gets you lot frothing at the mouth but this made me smile simply because we’re free enough for it to happen but of course you won’t hear it on a radio station cos we’re not that free! I’ve heard it and it would end up as mainly long beeeeeep! One of the main contenders for Christmas number one is a song called “Boris Johnson is a F**king C**t by the k****! Is number 2 on Spotify’s official charts and number 3 on another! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
