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. :)

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

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.

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...  :-\
