Time for a new machine

Here is my faithful washing machine. I honestly don't remember when we bought her. But it's been years

The other day while doing a load of towels she started to make horrid noises 

Sounded like metal on metal grinding 

I quickly turned her off and restarted her. After checking the balance of the load 

That wasn't the problem. I restarted her and the same thing happened. 

I prayed she would last till the end of the cycle and she did 

Hubby came to give her a look over and pronounced her terminal!

It was not a good day

 

So off we went with the money that I had saved, for a rainy day!

And looked at th machines in our budget 

I wasn't going to get one as big as our last machine, she was a 10kilo

But we found this baby. She was the last one, floor stock and was priced over a thousand dollars originally 

That was over budget. BUT

as she was the last she was reduced. And hubby got even more off because she was floor stock and had scratches on the lid 

So she was well and truly under our budget!

Score 

So another 10 kilo washer for me! 

She has already washed two loads of washing including my bedding today 

She is very quiet and efficient 

As for the old girl. She has been relegated to scrap metal

She will be recycled 

A fitting end to an old work horse 

See ya xxx
