Water supply to the washing machine has been frozen for a couple of days. Must have warmed up a bit outside today because the f*cker just burst!
Fortunately I had the necessary blanks to enable me to turn off the water, unscrew the pipe, blank it off and restore the water supply ~ all in ten minutes but now we are looking at the launderette for a few days whilst I reconfigure the kitchen to bring the washing machine into the house rather than where it currently resides in the outhouse with the pipes running outside of the house wall. This happened two years ago as well and I said then that I would have to shift it inside but ended up repairing and relagging the pipe. Shouldda known better.
Deep breaths and count to ten Snoops.
No one has died, and things could be worse.
Think of all those less fortunate than yourself and the rest of us.
I sincerley hope you get it sorted quickly however. Good luck, and we are all thinking of you at this very annoying time.
