Nor was it the queue at the ticket office.<br /><br />Yes, I thought I'd unplug the washing machine ready for collection, and I can't turn the cold water fill off. Where are all my big strong men when I need them? Not answering the phone.<br /><br />Ollie can come round at ten to help.<br /><br />My delivery slot - they having not phoned me and it being impossible to phone up before 9 to find out - is 7am. Here's hoping they're late.<br /><br />I believe they will not disconnect old machines.<br /><br />I'm hoping they will at least deliver a new machine, and I can persuade Ollie to help fit it. I can worry about the old one later.<br /><br /><br />I am slightly cleaner, and the washing machine cupboard is much wetter, than earlier this morning.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=faustus&ditemid=279321" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://faustus.dreamwidth.org/279321.html domestic d.i.y. soggy public 0
