Thanks everyone, appreciate the advice. I'm pleased I handled as I did. It's a minor issue in the grand scheme of things I know, but my not rescuing W or offering to be at the house for when it's collected is a big deal. Seems W is still relying on me to do stuff like this. I don't know why she needed to ask me what to do; it's so obvious and she's a very clever woman.

I think it's needless to get rid of the machine really - at home I'd regularly clean it. She's clearly not done that and so it's deteriorated. I'm sure it's fixable but she's the kind of person who'd prefer to throw something away rather than sort it out. Sadly I don't have space for it anywhere so cannot offer to take it instead.

GAL for this evening - studying followed by gym later on.
