[Domesticity] Dishwashers and Washing Machines ...

[dancefloorlandmine]

In a sudden mood of domesticity, I have now re-ordered my dishwasher from the handy little electrical goods shop around the corner - it will cost about £30 more than Currys had quoted, but should be with me in a fortnight. Currys took two months to tell me nothing, so I cancelled the order with them.

Now I just need to get a washing machine and the kitchen will be complete. Do any of you domestic gods and goddesses out there have any advice regarding washing machines? Are washer/dryers more trouble than they're worth? What should I be looking out for? What should I avoid? Are any of you subscribers to Which? [grin] All I know is that I'd like something in silver, to match the other appliances ...

It's all very well people suggesting that you use the garden, but remember that you have to remember to bring things in within a day or so, else they a) get dirty again and b) get rained on....

[nonchalant whistle] Indeed - and given my tendency to be busy (and to forget to water plants), I don't hold out a great deal of hope for the washing.
