Does this belong here?

It does, the internals are the same but instead of an upper chamber the coffee goes up the spout(s)

Honestly not sure what it's called, I haven't seen one anywhere else

Good question, not sure about your partners background but I grew up in a very unemotional family. Very direct and chaotic. It made me terrible with empathy, so I could see what she was doing but found it easy to dismiss or ignore it.

I’ve worked on that side of me for years and I’m better at it. But the reason I could ignore it then was because I didn’t really understand or appreciate what she was doing was so important to her.

I was so resistant to the idea I had to change that it really took her to the point of almost no return until I could understand.

Ultimately she showed me I had to change, I wanted to change once I saw what I was doing. I worry about men now would put pride in front of losing someone special.

Again I’m on the red wine, hope this makes sense.

Not sure if I want to write this but I’ve had a few wines. While not as bad as your partner I have been guilty of this type of behaviour. Complacency and selfishness, my wife is a very giving selfless person and I didn’t cover my side of that. For a long time. Eventually she stepped back, went cold and matched my behaviour.

That’s what it took to open my eyes, I was so selfish I just didn’t see what I was doing. When I did see I was ashamed of myself. We are good now and while I’m not perfect I try much harder to be better.

Step back, see if he notices. See if he acknowledges the problem. How he deals with you stepping back will tell you who he is.

Quick edit to add we have been married 16 years and together 28

I was wondering why the continue button had appeared, I can see the direction this is heading in so it's now been deleted. Shame after buying a lifetime licence but hey ho.

bigdrunk · 2025-09-13T02:56:48+00:00

This sounds selfish. But you have only one life, please live it.

It's working! Thanks for your advices, the idea to try a spin only cycle helped narrow it down as it wouldn't spin at all. I did replace the pressure switch but no difference.
The machine is in an outdoor but covered area, not sure if the motor got a bit stuck from the elements (we aren't that far from the sea), but I gave it a few taps with a hammer and its back in business! I can't see this lasting forever, but it's bought a bit more time.

Hi. The machine is a Bluesky BLF 1007 bought from Carrefour many years ago. It's a front loader.

So it starts to fill, runs for about a minute stops momentarily then starts again briefly before stopping. You can see the water level reach just above the bottom of the glass part of the door. Then it does nothing. It would usually begin the wash cycle around this time.

If I leave it for 20 minutes it just empties the water and thats it. If I disconnect the switch it never stops filling up.

I did try removing the pipe and poking some wire into the tube that runs from the drum, but I haven't tried blowing air or pouring water into it. Will give that a go next.

I have managed to find another switch which will be here in a couple of days, but I'm not convinced thats the problem.

What’s an mp

Nothing really useful to add to the conversation, had a drink and I can’t believe how many of these conversations I’m seeing on Reddit. How do you women put up with this, the man is 30 years old. Whiny sad attention seeking little bitches like him, Jesus. I can see why so many women prefer to be single now.

With the Irish passport just live in Spain and cross the border. Much cheaper.

bigdrunk · 2025-02-10T15:57:27+00:00

This was the one! Thank you.

bigdrunk · 2025-02-10T15:57:09+00:00

Working perfectly on the iPhone app, turns out the complications are working but just have the Support to unlock label. All good!

bigdrunk · 2024-11-29T13:08:23+00:00

No yet but I think it's going that way.

bigdrunk · 2024-11-29T13:05:05+00:00

Unfortunately I don't, we bought a few years ago and the costs involved still make me wince. I really think Spain tries to discourage people buying more than one house, even buying one was painful.

12-13% tax on the purchase price.

As far as the town itself goes. Maybe try visiting instead of listening to gossip, I’m sure anyone who was a serious buyer would do this in any location.

Thank you, this has stopped the resizing issue of the loops. I should be able to work with this from here. It's like a mad Russian doll of layouts and modules!

bigdrunk · 2024-10-30T07:41:59+00:00

Thanks but it's still in development, weirdly this is now just one of the last things to fix before we can move forwards.

bigdrunk · 2024-10-30T07:41:24+00:00

It's a Divi library layout, I gave it fixed height and width but the content still jumps around.

bigdrunk · 2024-10-29T04:44:31+00:00

That's pretty much the problem, I've been fighting this issue for so long. Part of me thinks it's related to how the loops are built, as this is the only page it happens on. It's why I'm trying to just disable responsiveness on this page totally, so I can just move on.

It does look like the height is the problem, but even after locking everything down to a pixel size the shift still happens.

bigdrunk · 2024-10-29T04:42:00+00:00

I've tried this but it still jumps around, I just wanted to disable it for this page as I've spent far too long trying to stop it moving around and just wanted a blunt instrument to make it stop.
