Bath mat keeps knocking the dryer open :thumbdn:

  I have to do my fucking laundry now.  I hate all my clothes, but they're all I have.  :mad:

Did 5 loads of clothes for each of us yesterday.  Will do 5 more tomorrow, hopefully.

Boy, did I make a mess of that post.  I went to my g'friend's house and did sets of clothes for each of us.  The laundry is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay tooooooooooooooo far out of control to catch up by hand now.  I will wash out some filthy underwear by hand and bring it to my friends house soon for a proper wash by machine.

Indecision on what washingmachine to buy?

If so, beating indecision may be easier than beating depression. Cheap one with a few months warranty at a goodwill store an option?

I just use Which? magazine. And I look at good and bad reviews from several sites. I usually do lots of research. I also look at sizing, and in this case it would be load capacity too on the washing machine. I would research the options it has on the dial/buttons.

Like for instance, it's annoying on my washing machine that rinse on its own only does 1200 speed, rather than the 1400 it's capable of at the end of a cycle. So I would have to put it through another washing programme in order to dry it more, it seems a bit stupid to me. I always use an extra rinse so I can't make full use of its 1400 speed.

Also, FTR, Bosch is an excellent make, even though it's pricey. So is Miele, but that's very expensive.

No, some $$$ problems are keeping me from deciding where to get $ and what to fix first:  car, washing machine, bills, etc.  Just the usual day-to-day stuff since Parliament hasn't given me a raise in over 115 years.

About 30 years ago, with plans to marry with a student income, and after having done laundry by hand for a few years I told my boyfriend that a washing machine was the first thing we'd buy. After that we'd invest in a better bed. He agreed, first not thinking much of a washing machine. But he was really happy when it arrived.

Mine is almost done. Thinking about doing a second batch or not. Drying conditions are perfect.

I have too much linen piling up to wash. Where did all my flat sheets go? I have like 5 fitted sheets on the clothes line but no flat sheets.
I have to take a big mink blanket to the laudromat on the weekend because it won't fit in my pitiful 5kg washer.
