Hi, anyone got any ideas. water runs maybe an inch every hour. no blockage though. standard p trap with the washing machine waste coming in at the top. wshing machine waste goes into the sink now. What a pain. Dirty dishes everywhere. Flat mate wrecking my head.

no blockage though

well it must be if it is not running.

Take the trap off and rod the waste pipe run. If you have a water enabled hoover - like any good plumber should) then suck the wotsits out of the pipe.
 
You should also check the pipes outside and the drain into which it runs - if this is blocked than it can supply sufficient stoppage within the pipe
 
what makes you think there is no blockage?
why else would in not drain?

the waste pipe could be frozen, but technically still blocked with ice!!
