Our washing machine has been a faithful friend of mine for 10 years. We've recently had episodes os it leaking and not draining water which left our washing sopping wet.
We knew it was on its way out but think we thought maybe it had more life left in it yet.
Last week we had a wash cycle going and we smelt this burnt motor type smell coming from around the area of the washing machine. It had finally given up and lost its fight.
So now we're hand washing clothes, towels and even nappies. Its taking a good hour to do by hand.
Hubby is having to do most of it as my back just can't handle it but funnily enough all the clothes, towels and nappies are coming out cleaner and softer after hand washing them rather than when they were washed in a machine. We're hoping it may be the fact our machine wasn't doing as good a job as it should have been in the last year or so and that when we get our new machine, which could be a while yet, the clothes etc come out just as well as we've been getting from hand washing.
R.I.P washing machine we shall miss you
