Because The Very Expensive Miele WM failed twice in 6 weeks, fortunately after I'd extended the warranty to 10 years, and I got fed up with washing stuff in the bath whilst awaiting a service call, so I bought a cheapo from Currys that cost £75 less than the extended warranty on WM1.

When that breaks it goes in the bin, the other one is too expensive to do that with, as is the TD.

I follow similar economics: I looked at the expensive stuff and then bought disposable as delivery on a replacement was faster than waiting for a repair. Go figure.

Yes, I was very impressed with a 2 week wait the first time and nearly a 3 week wait the next.

Not impressed.

And once it's diagnosed you then have to wait for the parts to arrive so they can fit them.

The Currys delivery was brilliant.

I think I paid for it on the Thursday, it was delivered on Sunday morning, they unpacked it and put it in the salting house, and the washing was done by the afternoon.

In contrast, the Miele from AO was dumped in the kitchen, so I had to unpack it, which is easier said than done with a 100kgm WM.

Getting it off the pallet was inneresting, and involved a sabre saw to cut the battens up.

Still can't remember the Google mail password.

I've only used the fecking thing for 10 years or so.

Sausages in finger rolls for lunch

It’s maintaining a decent balance between being sunny out and sending a gentle zephyr through the windows to keep the flat cool

I need to pop down and see about reverse trundling; pretty sure there was some bin-related action going on out the back while I was cooking the sausages.

Whatever I heard earlier must have been something different, as they were only just starting the reverse trundle from the recycling bin wagon when I got down there. This meant I was able to secure the slightly newer one for our yard

Not that it makes any difference as they all have exactly the same capacity and method of operation, but still

It's a principle! And it'd be one that I'd follow if such a thing were needed at my place.

Dell delivered the new micro PC for the parentals a bit earlier than I expected (I thought it was coming on Monday) so I spend some billing time setting it up.

Can't do everything but most is sorted and the rest will be done when I'm allowed to deliver it.

I suspect they will be impressed by the size but my Dad will still complain that it's not immediately usable as soon as the power button is pressed

Oh and the fun to be had with them figuring out Win10...

Damn...forgot to install Team Viewer on it so I can do remote support when my Dad installs something dodgy.

As far as I know, that bin was originally provided for one of the houses up the side road, but the bin people just put them back anywhere and it ended up with this road’s in the back alley/lane

Dell delivered the new micro PC...

Ooh, which one?

Techically delivered by UPS if that what you mean?

I should have typed spent not spend . On a proper keyboard so no excuse for that typo
