Mmm, plausible, I would have thought - feel free to borrow from the middle of next week....

I have no idea of battery life expectancy under prolonged use.

I have put a few artificial holts in around the place - not one of mine?

Wondering what you do when you pour a bottle of foaming sink unblocker down the sink, & it doesn't unblock - just sits there!

Instructions say not to plunge...

When it happened with my kitchen sink, I moved everything out of the cupboard and took the piping apart. Turned out the sink unblocker had not worked because my son had cooked himself some Bird's Eye burgers and poured the fat down the sink and it had set solid the the pipe ... a perfect round. I was very pleased with myself until I had to put pipework back together and could not fathom it out. I knocked the door of the builder next door hoping he would do it for me (even risking hearing the latest in his 4 year divorce battle), such was my desperation.

He was out so I went back to the kitchen floor and carried on swearing til the air was so blue I had to open a window. Eventually I did. Daft thing is, had my son been in, he would have figured it out straightaway.

N.B. I now make my own virtually fat-free burgers.

Well the foamy stuff has gone, but the sink is still blocked/slow. Its the bathroom sink - God only knows what's down there!

Hair and soap, usually.

If you are going to plunge it, remember to block the overflow, or you'll lose a lot of the impetus.

Dismantling, if possible, is the best way, though.

There will be NO dismantling taking place!

Another question, why am I doing this when I have a perfectly good husband that should be doing it?!

No, it said it only needed an hour - my fault for buying cheap unblocker ....looks like a trip to b&q

I've always found the cheap unblocker in the orange plastic bottles from Home Bargains to be perfectly adequate for all our unblocking tasks.
