When I visit that neck of Norfolk, it will be for pure pleasure. Buying white goods is dull. Actually, Tilly is so good at the pre-wash that I hardly need a mechanical washer at all. But she won't mind a job-share at all and all dogs are welcome. So are you, Jonathan. Plenty of room in my kitchen, as Dave found out when he discovered he had to eat lunch in there. <BR/><BR/>Dave, a paper saucepan is a fine idea. Do let us know how it goes. But couldn't you fit a small human dishwasher in front of your sink? Perhaps while you're out playing cricket or digging the garden.<BR/><BR/>Murph, advice noted. I'd dismissed Smeg on the grounds of cost, but I'm impressed to find they don't actually clean the dishes but just look elegant. Just like the average Italian chappy, I suppose.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-77270025013724642902008-12-29T12:29:00.000+00:002008-12-29T12:29:00.000+00:00I'm the dishwsher in our house and I'm hoping that...I'm the dishwsher in our house and I'm hoping that whenever I finally pack in young Frankie will be ready to step into the breach... I can tell you though that we have a Bosch washing machine which is still going strong after ten years or so... only problem is the knob has fallen off the front so you have to stick and twist a knife into the exposed aperture at the front to select your programme. I suppose you can probably buy spare knobs somewhere but we have got usd to this somewhat inelegant solution by now...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-43892743279609117852008-12-29T10:57:00.000+00:002008-12-29T10:57:00.000+00:00I would LOVE to do the pre-wash cycle!Just a word ...I would LOVE to do the pre-wash cycle!<BR/><BR/>Just a word to the Wyzzze ....<A HREF="http://k9life.blogspot.com/2008/04/national-stereotypes-wont-wash.html" REL="nofollow">don't go anywhere near Mr Smeg</A>!Roghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09430706557035189147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-82802558767679781332008-12-29T07:07:00.000+00:002008-12-29T07:07:00.000+00:00I don't have a dishwasher, nor space for one (mech...I don't have a dishwasher, nor space for one (mechanical, or human).<BR/><BR/>Am thinking about paper plates, saucepans and glasses for the new year.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08403853324345062446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-78462280293329485802008-12-29T00:59:00.000+00:002008-12-29T00:59:00.000+00:00Z-of course the dogs have to come along.

I would suggest that you print up what you find on the internet re: dishwasher models and prices. Take it with you when you go to the appliance store. that way you'll have proof of prices and models you like. Most places here will honor the lower price just to get the sale.
