Talking of delivery issues, Amazon Prime disgraced themselves again yesterday. So need to chase that up with them when I get home, unless they deliver today

No delivery today, so checked the tracking, which claimed it was handed to the resident at 9pm.  Like f it was.

Amazon were trying to insist I waited a day or 2 more, but eventually agreed to send another.

Part ordered. Guess what I'm doing this weekend...

washing all the pots by hand 
set up a non Brackley delivery address on your ebay and fool the sellers into delivering to you

Or buy a new one... it will save a few days anxiety

[Andy B]

when we moved into this house 27 yrs ago there was room for our first dishwasher. We bought one a couple of weeks after we moved in .... best thing we ever bought! 

[Shackeng]

Replace it with a better one if you're only getting 3-4 years out of it 

I would suggest our usage would be double that with a normal* family - ours gets hammered all the time, and it only ever gets put of the super intensive red hot non-of-that-eco-wank-shite program.

Weekdays, I would estimate its on 3 times a day.



*Not that I am in any way suggesting I am abnormal. I'm perfectly normal, its everyone else

Whaaaaat?
How many in your household? Two in ours, and it goes on every three days, and still hardly full. I grant you We cook veg using a 3 tier steamer which is hand washed, but even so.....
You'll have to try harder if you want to save the planet.

NB. Not for me, I'm at the exit door.

We're getting an impressive pile, so fingers crossed the bit arrives tomorrow.  I don't think I've washed up anything at home for years and years

Just the 2 of us

Mrs Builder has a built in Neff or Smeg ,can't remember which , dishwasher cost over £500
it's used as overflow storage for crockery 
though I have run some engine parts through it a few times and sterilized the chopping boards

Two in our household. We have a slimline dishwasher which is run at least once a day. Sometimes twice. Microwave meals and takeaways are a rarity in our house, so that might be an excuse. Don't know what TB,s excuse is though. I believe he lives on takeaway curry.
Swmbo also does quite a lot of home cooking / baking type of stuff, which can produce a lot of dirty dishes etc.
Its well worth it though for the quiches, cheesecakes etc. etc.

Amazon Market place have let me down again. On my successessful low carb diet 10kg (22lb) so far & two notches on my belt, I've been eating alot of low carb low sugar blueberries, 250gm at £2.29 a pack. 5 of those a week is expensive, so I've bought 4 blueberry plants, large planters & trays for my large patio. Each pot requires ~30L of high acid peat, I ordered 2x 60L bags. Only one was delivered & have contacted them for the outstanding item and awaiting delivery. The delivery will involve Yodel so I won't be holding my breath.

I have lots more hassle off Amazon Marketplace compared to Eboy ebay, especially for non-existent 2nd hand books, which have just been misterely return to them, after I've checked that my local PO depot that have received nothing!

When can I move in? 

Amazon Prime let me down for the first time in (probably) several thousand deliveries this week .. naturally it was my own Christmas present that has failed to arrive Since it was a Marketplace order (my fault, I normally avoid those!) I got a refund. Which doesn't get me my present.. Oh well! Done the logical thing and ordered the same thing direct from Mao's Dollarama for £100 less and I'll wait the wait.

Mao's Dollarama? Sounds like a classy outfit.

You could always buy your lass a pair of marigolds for Christmas

not really, takeaways have a place if you're late back, or don't have time to cook. Well, I don't cook, so the missus not having time .  If I want (non homecooked) curry, I prefer to sit down in a restaurant .

Mrs TB does seem to use lots of "stuff" when cooking. When she bakes - usually for work McMillan days etc, and rarely for me - the poor dishwasher will be non stop for days . Same with a Sunday Roast, which we don't have every week.


So in reality, if it lasts 2 or 3 years then its done thousands and thousands of cycles.


New part still not arrived, obviously.

[TheBoy]

Nor has the missing and now replaced Amazon parcel, but that can be up to 9pm before the courier throws that in the river because they are too busy.
