Nothing connected with household appliances fills me with joy. I am going to have to get to grips with my antipathy this evening and do some upstairs hoovering. I took it upstairs yesterday, but unfortunately it just sat there and did nothing.......
My washing machine and I get along very well, thank you. Happy is not really a word that I would use in connection with the machine. I run my hand along it when I enter the kitchen in the morning, but otherwise we both keep our distance from each other. Distance lends enchantment, I always say. Oh, I forgot to mention; I don't actually operate it. That's my wife's department. I don't know if she's happy with the machine or not.
Son 1 took it apart at the weekend, changed bearings, pressure washed all its bits, rewired it and rebuilt it and now it's better than new and I can put the credit card away for awhile :-)
