Every woman says exactly that in my experience and cannot wait to hug their loved one again.

Masque is that supposed to be half a picture or a full one?

Sadly I have used two contraptions like that when I was a teenager and my mother put me in charge of doing the laundry as she had to go out work after my father died.

The novelty of a combined washer/spin dryer later was astounding.Now people think nothing of them..

Sasha222 · 05-09-2010, 20:22

And there I was thinking you would replace it with a another one.

I remember my mum using a twintub and then we were amazed when we got our first front loading washing machine.

It sort of beats that weekly stroll down to the river making sure that Hubby's loincloth is ready for another hard week hunting.

You just can't get the rocks nowadays.

Being a man he probably wore it for a month or more as it was his lucky cloth.

Got to go to Truro this am so a bit of retail is on the cards.

Ach nothing as modern as that contraption Masque lol, I was thinking more along the lines of this.

Yep I suppose there are things to be grateful for.It only takes a broken down washer for us to realise how much we rely on present day appliances to keep our lives at a much easier level.

Some can complain their mobile phone or PC or TV isn't working but when the washer packs up it's a whole new higher level of pain..
