I am pleased to announce:

Awesome. Thank god you'll finally be wearing clean clothes. I was going to say something about the stink, but didn't want to hurt your feelings. Congrats!

Triumph and affection for household appliances is a sign of maturity.

Yep - you know you've become an adult when you're happy to get a new appliance...



We bought our first brand new washer about 6 weeks ago - I couldn't believe I was happy about it.

Yes Peaches, but for a writer of Erotica, you failed to mention the one crucial aspect of this new washing machine.
Does the RPM of this new appliance meet your needs?

Now ,if you understand the Q, you are indeed an lover of erotica...

Unfortunately, the washing machine is slotted underneath a worktop so I am unable to make use of the spin cycle.

Get thee a circular saw forthwith good woman - else why the excitment?
You're not truly becoming domesticated, are you?

Well, new appliances are always good... useful spin cycle or no. There's something about getting a new (to you) appliance. Even if it's secondhand and free, it makes you feel snazzy to have something different than normal--or in your case, something you didn't have. Good on it. Wash menny menny laundries.

I just have loads of clothes, and I'm stupidly excited at not having to lug laundry bags up to my dad's house and back every few days.

Oh
I would suggest less clothes of course, but you do live in Scotland, or as we call it 'even worse than here' (rough translation)

I have rented a new washer and it takes 10kg of clothes. It's so big that it has a safety door to stop small children from boilwashing themselves. I am stupidly happy with it. Especially the 'duvet button'
The washer rental asked if I had any washing to go in. I have four kids mate, I have a washing pile so high you need oxygen to summit the damn thing.

Yayy!

A few months ago, I moved into a house, and one of the most exciting things about the move was that I could have a washer and dryer! None of my apartments ever had washer/dryer hookups.

I'm still waiting for the body washing machine so I can write and drink coffee while it cleans me.

I wish someone would get married and give me their surplus dishwasher. Mine is falling apart.

::Envy::

Are you taking volunteers?

MadamPeaches, Might I suggest getting the novels off the floor? Bookworms and all that. And things like, you know... falling on your face in the dark because of novels in the floor.

And wtf is a clothes horse? Forgive my hickified american ignorance, but I have never heard that one before.

If you weren't in Scotland, I'd send you some of my book cases. I have way too many. Sadly, they all actually have books on them (stuffed with books, really) that I never read. Things I bought on a whim and read once, never to read again.

I guess it's just me that goes stumbling through the house without lights. When I am firstly awake, I forget how to operate the light switch. I forget just about everything when i first wake up... including me own name. Except that the coffeemaker should have coffee in it. (Thank the powers that be for automatic drip options!)

Re clothes horse: Thanks! That's too cute.

sparklepeaches... another thing I envy you. I must lug my clothing, panties and all, to the public washroom in the apt complex. Sigh.

One day... I will live somewhere that my panties only leave the house on my person.

Something in these two quotes which have set my matchmaker athena buzzin...

One strange difference i noticed between the US and Europe is the whole washn m/c thing. Standard fare in Europe (prob bec of weather) but not so US. An m/c in US are big strange top loaders. weird.

However the RPM value is prob as good.

Hey, marriage is more than an opportunity for others to gain appliances.
Isn't it?

... still do mine in a streambed with a washboard. So I, too, envy thee.
