Aaargh! My washer/dryer is broken – washes OK, but doesn’t dry. Of course, it’s a big double duvet cover that is currently soggy – nothing simple like socks that can be hung on a radiator. The good news is that it’s covered by a service/repair/replace contract, which I took out when I bought it nearly 12 years ago, as these machines are notoriously unreliable. The bad news is that the first appointment is 31st December … time tbc but in the past is has usually been either 07:15 or 08:00, which are hardly my favourite times of day. I think it’s now the 4th enginerr visit in two years, so we’re probably getting close to the “replace” stage.
