Have a great day.

Scrap yard is nearer..........council recycling centre about 2 miles further away........but its always very busy with the resulting long queues....so i would rather take in to scrap yard and get nothing for it and no queuing.

Now there is a thought......Next door neighbour has one of those dustbins that you burn garden crap in...... We have one scrap yard in town.......could take it there after the Christmas/New year's closedown.

On his past efforts there is no telling where the washer would end up ....and it would not be level.

If! I feel a bit better tomorrow my Christmas day morning will involve fitting our new washer in its alloted space in our kitchen.... It's going to take more effort to get rid of all the packaging.......shitloads of polystyrene and shrink wrap.

Feeling marginally better today.....after a very disturbed night. It seems I have passed the lurgy onto my daughter. I told her to keep away......kids!...they never listen.

Yep the best part of me went down the pan...

A little.........but some good news...had my 1st dump since last Sunday......headache has gone.

New washing machine has been delivered............just needs the water and drainage pipes connecting.......I doubt I will do that for a while yet. Still feel shit and about as strong as a junior asprin.

One is older...72..his partner she is 65..

I know a couple of people who say the same thing.

Headache gone.....but throat, and chest feels the same.........cough definitely no better. Hope that there will be some improvement tomorrow.. Fucked up the few Christmas plans we had....

Any idea where he is?

Cheers @Six30.

Daughter tested us with a bog standard Lateral Flow test kit......they use them at the care home home where she works.......daughter said it was positive Wife seems a bit better than me.....she does not have the bad cough like I have.........but as said...its this damn headache.......had it since midday yesterday.........it no worse...but its no better.

Yeh a positive result ...........feel like shit.......and i can't get rid of this headache..

......yep

We think we have Covid....daughter going to test us this afternoon.......Merry Christmas

if there was one of these closer she could beat our washing on a rock.

Same as our sofa.....SCS wanted us to pay £100 delivery from the manufacturers factory to us.......I said "iam buying it from here not from the factory".....but the sales guy said that's company policy......told him to stuff his sofa.

I loose my temper when they come up with £40 delivery........£20 delivery I may have said OK......but £40 for a couple of miles!!.....sod that.......I could hire a van for half a day for £40

So very true......same with most household items now it seems. It's being delivered this Friday............but not holding my breath.

Rung AO....no delivery till well into the New Year.........so our daughter has ordered one out of her catalogue....a Indesit model......no date for delivery yet.....we will pay our daughter the full amount...not messing about with terms. I have looked at our washer....the drum is a sealed (bonded) unit.....can buy a new one but it is £190 ......the washer we ordered is £210.

Washing machine broken .....inside rear bearing gone.....sounds like it has a building brick in it when washing......Currys have a basic one in stock.....but I ain't paying 40 quid delivery....we only live 2 mile from their store...gits.
