I'll have to look into that for future reference, I think there is, but I don't have the details. The old people's home up the top of the street has a handyman who's told me he'll help with anything house related, but I don't know if this would be something he can do. Thankfully Collin is fairly handy and has brothers who lend a hand when needed, he thinks they can sort it. The water supply is disconnected, he just can't do the waste pipe without getting a valve of some sort so I can still use the sink without swamping the cupboard underneath. I just don't understand why companies who sell white goods don't have an automatic policy of disconnecting the old appliance, installing the new one and taking the old one away. that should be the standard for all. I really didn't need more stress piled on me *droops*

*hugs back* Thank you.
