new washing machine
May 15, 2012
I hadn’t heard of the last 2 until lately though now I’m hooked. When we viewed this flat and saw that gaping hole where a washing machine had once resided it was essentially a deal breaker. Surely in this day and age a washing machine is critical, unless to be sure you live in Albert Square. Nevertheless flats this side of the river are as rare as hen’s teeth and so we put down our deposit.
The space admittedly wasn’t that large and my heart sank certain that we’d never find a remedy a machine to fit, that we could afford. We began off scanning the world-wide-web for bargains. Now Ebay has lengthy been a buddy but on this occasion we drew a blank and that is where these zero cost sites came in. Zero cost to advertise and the buyer collects – what could be easier? Is not the web an extraordinary thing, whatever did we do without it?
Below the heading “For Sale – domestic” there it was “Washing machine for sale- narrow washing machine”. We couldn’t think our eyes, the dimensions spot on. No guarantee needless to say nevertheless at the cost we paid I reckon its equivalent to about ten washes at any launderette. Eat your heart out Dot Cotton.
If you’d ever lived in 1 of these modern flats with the flimsy walls and poor insulation then you’ll know what I mean when I say that you could hear a pin drop. It takes some getting used to and I thought all was well until the woman downstairs came up and ever so politely told me she might hear us pull up the blinds, close the doors, scold the cat and lord knows what else.
I was mortified as I’d normally thought we were the quietest of people. Though after that all I might consider was what we should have sounded like downstairs. Even the washing machine’s spin cycle got me feeling guilty.
So in the name of harmony & respect for the neighbours it set me thinking. When the washing machine broke down and clearly required replaced, 1 priority was to be certain we chose one of the quietest washing machine around. There are countless pages of washing machine offers on the web and after not that lengthy a search I got just what we wanted. Not entirely silent though it is a fantastic wee washer and I’m sure her downstairs appreciates its gentle hum too.
