Ok Dinner didn't seem to agree with Seb last night, so he has been vomitting and producing lots of stinky poop this morning. I have a phobia about people throwing up... it makes me really panicy, and I pretty much flip out. Thankfully Mike only has one 2 hour class on a tuesday, so he is looking after him at the moment... sounds good right?...
BUT our washing machine is being temperamental, and we can't afford to fix it or buy another one. It started this yesterday - I put it on, and it did nothing. 10 minutes later it started up all on it's own (nope doesn't have a delay on it) worked ok for the rest of the day... now it's doing it AGAIN. (and has been sitting there doing nothing for an hour) Thankfully it washed Seb's nappies ok, but now we have a whole bunch of his clothes and blankets to wash.  After this horrid weather for the last few days, we finally have a bit of sun and now this
But wait... there's more. We have the landlord coming for inspection today  Thankfully it's HNZ.. but STILL  -------------

Sucky Alia, big hugs! My washing machine died last year and that was frustrating enough without having sick kids and sheets to wash!
If I was closer I'd say bring your washing over and do it here, but I'm guessing it's a bit too far to drive  -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

I'm still hoping it will spontaneously start again  at least we have sun! (had heaps of washing trying to dry on the line for a couple of days)
And Mike has taken Seb for a long walk to town with him, so he's all his problem now (I feel really mean to poor Seb, but I just can't stand sick people!!)
Now just waiting for the inspection to be over and done with. -------------

If it is an old machine, they are really expensive for no guarantee that it will work - especially if it is the electrics for the touch pads :(
I know this becasue our machine only works on 1 hour delay, you can't start it anymore so you have to really plan when you wash things, but it isn't worth it to get it fixed. -------------

I'll see what happens this afternoon - Mike's going to get his dad to have a look at the washing machine. Hopefully that happens tonight, and if he can't help then we will have to see if we can get it reparied.. if it can't be repaired then But I'm not going to think about that until I have to!
Thanks for the offer Kels  If we can't get it fixed within a couple of days, I might have to take that offer up sometime...-------------

Ok maybe 6-7 hours... now that I've added it up. But still... I was about to give up hope -------------

filled pasta (can't remember the name) he disagreed with it last time he had it, but that was about 6 months ago (and nowhere near as violent a reaction as this) so figured we'd give it another go... won't be doing that again for a while! It's sad as we really like it, and so does he. He thought it tasted great!  -------------
