Go me!!!

This is our new washing machine. It was deliveered at 10am this morning (approximately 30 minutes after Richard went out for the day)

Given the choice of leaving it sat in the middle of the floor all day or attempting to plumb it in myself, I decided "nothing ventured, no washing done!"

After turning the house upside down looking for a screwdriver finding a screwdriver and spanner I eventually got the new water supply pipe onto the pipe under the sink and the waste pipe connected to the sink drain.

Three loads of washing later I can report total success. No leaks. Lots of nice clean clothes.

Result.
