armbLast radiator is hung (last weekend), last TRV fitted this weekend.
Our dishwasher was not working well before Christmas, but replacing the drain hose improved things (it was full of gunge, and it cracked when we pulled the machine out to look). Recently the problems (not cleaning well, not draining, stopping mid-cycle) came back although the new hose was ok. Putting some caustic soda (drain unblocker) in served mainly to point out that the door seal is badly perished, so we decided to accept that we need a new dishwasher - the old one was 22 years old, so we can't really complain. So thank to the magic of eBay buy-it-now and a couple in Cottenham who wanted an integrated dishwasher for their new fitted kitchen, we have a (nearly) new dishwasher.
(Also my parents came for Sunday lunch then we all went for a walk together - Granny still a lot slower than Nana, but much better than she was before her hip was done.)
