Our not very old washing machine has decided  to give up the ghost.  Been hand washing, and taking to the launderette, as cannot afford a new machine.
 
Husbands boss arrived at work, and was trying to put a washing machine in the scrap skip.  Husband enquired as to the state of the machine.  "Oh its fine, wife's bought a new one!"  So .....yes, husband arrived home with the Ariston machine last night.  It dries as well, but I prefer  to hang my washing out (although not with all this rain - hanging on the maiden).
 
Chuffed to bits I am!!  Although getting it from our pick up to the house,(past 4 other cottages) on a sacktruck was daunting .....it weighed a ton.  But its in the outside utility now awaiting plumbing in.

Wow, who on earth gets a new washing machine when their old one isn't actually broken!?  How the other half live eh?

A friend of mine works as a removal man - you'd be surprised how much stuff gets thrown away when people move house.   My mum has a second hand freezer from him - absolutely nothing wrong with it! 


Also - good luck with your "new" Ariston - mine is 17 years old and still going like a trooper!

Well done. I'm all in favour of recycling.

Wow, it always feels fab when an expense you thought you'd have is saved.

I got my first thing from freecycle this week, a set of metal garage shelves... I was well pleased.
