pearl Report post Posted January 17, 2008 Me too Although I had one fella who only brought me bags of shirts, washed without softner, rock hard they were! I think he was my customer too What finally made me change career was a woman with a size 16 khaki jump/safari all in one stylee suit in 100% cotton. It took me an hour to iron so I charged her extra & she was furious, so I told her to find another mug to do it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

loobylou2 Report post Posted January 21, 2008 Fingers crossed everyone! A nice man is coming round at 6 to try and fix the heating! He came yesterday and found that the pump and a valve were seized up, so hes put another pump on and hes coming back with a valve! Can't wait to be warm again!!!

krystaltps Report post Posted January 21, 2008 I treated myself to a new washine machine and tumble dryer last year. They are so crappy that I have had the man out 6 times so far. We are on first name terms and the dogs don't even bother barking at him anymore. They don't make stuff like they used to (God, I must be getting old!)

hev Report post Posted January 22, 2008 krys ive been thinking of getting an all in one machine and dryer for ages but my friend says they break down a lot,has anyone got an all in one which works,pm me please if you have Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss Report post Posted January 22, 2008 I've got one Hev. So far, so good, although it took me a while to figure out how to use it, and I've still not used many knobs Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
David Matthew Baker Report post Posted January 22, 2008 We've the old all in one from my Gran's. She'd had it a few years too. Not that we normally use the drier. It's a [vacuum] [not old] [what laps against the beach] [12x100]. It looks old fashioned but works well. Mum recons it is at least 10 years old. Only bit that isn't 100% is the powder pickup. We use tabs now so it doesn't affect us. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pearl Report post Posted January 22, 2008 I had one a few years ago but I prefer them separate. Stuff takes longer to dry, & you cant wash & dry at same time obviously so if you have mountains of washing like me takes longer. Good for space saving though.

krystaltps Report post Posted January 22, 2008 krys ive been thinking of getting an all in one machine and dryer for ages but my friend says they break down a lot,has anyone got an all in one which works,pm me please if you have I used to have an all-in-one, Hev. But I wouldn't recommend it (unless I am just particularly unlucky with clothes-washing apparatus ). The dryer takes ages, and they don't seem to last as long. Plus, as Pearl says, you can't do both at the same time. Wouldn't recommend a condenser dryer either though. That's what I've got at the moment - you pay twice the price and never get to use it because you're always waiting on the man coming out to fix it! AND it still puts condensation on my floor! My mum says it's all my own fault however - I wash too much apparently! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
