My washing machine lost the will to live this morning and, not being a Jaime or a Kevin Wood, I just slung it out the back. No more taking things to bits for me. Anyhow, went on ao.com and found a replacement at a good price, paid extra for delivery and it will be here in the morning.
That's what's good about the Internet, although there's plenty not to like, I know.

This is the attitude we find when wealth and bone-idleness are mixed together. :)

Were you to live in a mud hut located in darkest 'uncharted' Africa you'd have found a way to fix it by now. :)

Hope you bought it via topcashback and got summat back :y

I paid for next day delivery for my washing machine and it didn't arrive. The very nice lady from AO asked would the day after tomorrow be acceptable if she knocked another £30 off?

I think the only washing machine I have paid for was a Bosch.....that lasted me about 15years with only the brushes on the motor wearing out, which I replaced :)
After getting a combi boiler ... that Bosch was a hot and cold fill....so used make the combi fire up everytime it filled up.
My mums washing went wrong which was cold fill only and she wanted a new one....so new one replaced old one, another Bosch...
I fixed her old one....which just needed a new heater element (about £10) Took my one to the dump and I know have her old one which is also a Bosch :y

All of this sounds strenuous and tedious. By tomorrow night the new one will be washing clothes and the old one will be standing in the little concrete bay reserved for naughty washing machines and cookers. ;D

If wernt so tight, I'm sure AO.com would have taken your old one away ::) ;D

We have a Bosch vacuum cleaner, have had it about 10 years now & still going strong. It broke once, a couple of years ago & was about £600 to replace at the time iirc. I dismantled it (which was an achievement in itself for me) & found it was only one of the wire connectors had come off (probably because it had been yanked along by the cable). I felt pretty pleased with myself afterwards 8)

£25 to take the old one. As I'll need to go to the tip anyway, mostly to take the huge amount of packaging that comes with the new one, I shall sling it in my trusty astra.

... or posted a Youtube video of it ingesting bricks at eleventy million RPM. Just dumping it is a bit of a waste. ;D

If you were talking about a new car the statement above would be interesting. :)
It seems that life is pretty dull at your age. ;)

Put old one out on the pavement, if its still there in a couple of days, ring a scrappy, they will collect it foc ;)
Be surprised if ao don't take the packing of the new one away with them... :-\

May I suggest that Mrs STMO become familiar with the 'boil wash' cycle, essential for those heavily soiled items of clothing. :) :)

'Tis true'. :-\.......but £30 buys a box or two of washing powder. :y

Had a Bosch tumble dryer a few years ago, total disaster. Kept blowing the thermal overload and some other thing according to my repair man, an indy by the way. After the warranty expired of course. :( After a few visits gave up on it and acquired my daughters old Electra, still going strong. Yes, i still buy Bosch as it was the luck of the draw. :y

Mrs STEMO doesn't have a clue how the washing machine works, nor the cooker. She doesn't know how to put fuel in her car. She doesn't have to worry herself about any of this stuff, she's a very lucky woman.

Not as lucky as Mrs TB though... :D

Talking of Mrs STEMO. I understand she is an education professional. I wonder if the first 3minutes and 5 seconds of this video might be of use when she is introducing newly qualified teachers into the profession ? :)

Nobody is as lucky as her. I think she realises it really.
