New Washing Machine Day

It suddenly became " New Washing Machine Day" yesterday . Thought before I had found bits of plastic in the washing and it was now obvious that the drum was now serrating the plastic lining. End of operations and start of ' get new one'. So extraction of old, carry old down two flights o f stairs, put in car, meet parents in law in street, go to dump, dump, trip to Argos, in car, back up two flights of stairs, figure out how to get transit bolts out, install. Saving £25 we kept telling ourselves.
