    Ok, the Man is out there right now and it looks like there's a fairly significant blockage ON THEIR SIDE () although sometimes you still have to get your own plumber out I'm hanging onto a thread of hope that he gets it all sorted out. Also means they will have to do some cleaning for us,

    ETA - TMI - urgh I can hear all our pipes going glub glub glub - I bet it's all spewing out the back again

    LOL MD, ours are doing that ATM too because where we have our outlet for all our grey water is blocked off with grass so it isn't free draining and DH has to dig it out to clear it. I don't envy him that job LOL. A thinks there is monsters in the sink because of it.

    Actually I'm feeling a little sheepish cos I noticed about 10 days ago that the sink drains were draining slower than usual - I've been putting that enzyme stuff down the sink thinking it might have been foody bits getting clogged in there - and now come to think of it the bathroom drains have been a bit smellish for a few weeks as well - I just put it down to it being summer and probably kinda mouldy down there (our other house got ponky every year when it was summer). Oh well if I'd done something sooner it would've been paying for a plumber whereas now hopefully this will fix it. Although the Man said it's a good idea to get a plumber out once a year to do a maintenance clearing process - which we have *never* done and we've owned the house for ten years.

    WHOOPS.

    Although thanking my lucky stars I got pushy and made DH put a strip along the shed door to stop rainwater running across otherwise we would've had sewerage all thru the shed where our stuff is stored. Blerk

    Astrid, please thank your DH for me. Even though I'd rung them by the time I saw your post, it was absolutely the right advice.
