A ‘piece of nonsense’ question!

Washing machine for me too.

I have a neighbour, in her eighties, who has cooker, fridge and spin dryer only. She sees no need for electric kettle, toaster, washing machine or microwave. She is by no means poor, but likes to live simply.

Dishwasher. Send the laundry out and get a cleaning company to bring their own equipment!!

No. I don't even shop for food.
OH loves shopping for food. Loves cooking. Loves eating.
He's just gone away for 4 days for one of his pastimes.
All home cooked meals ready in the freezer. He even made fresh pasta this morning before he left ( to go with the meatballs & fresh tomatoes sauce.
I know how lucky I am. So does he, as while he's away I'll be painting a wall in the sitting room that I want changed.
Last time he was away ( last month) I painted the bathroom.
He doesn't have to think about the garden, either ?

You can buy special bags to put food in the toaster! Fish fingers etc.

Definitely washing machine for me.

Washing machine too

Gonegirl Thu 12-Sept-19 19:08:44

Yes, I would send the washing out somewhere.

I couldn't be without my robot vaccie cleaner, or his little brother the floor washer. So I am afraid I would have to be allowed two things.

My dishwasher. I could send the laundry out, I don’t have a toaster or a microwave anyway, and I reckon I could keep my apartment clean with my long- handled dustpan and brush.

suziewoozie Thu 12-Sept-19 18:51:22

You don’t cook petra ? Wow

Washing machine for me too please! Blimey, I couldn't face doing the lot by hand. Especially not his pants and socks. He'd have to do them himself.

The cooker doesn't worry me as I don't cook.
I have access to a launderette so that's sorted.
I really can't decide between my iron or Hoover.
I suppose I could always borrow my daughters iron.
So it's the hoover as that's used all the time.

I think I want to swap the toaster back with the cooker now.
Just been thinking about beans on toast and realised I couldn't put me beans in a toaster!

Washing machine tops my list too.

MissAdventure Thu 12-Sept-19 18:19:50

Oh yes, I'd swap the cooker in for a toaster too.

Washing machine, definitely! Just imagine doing it by hand shock

We now only have hard floors & rugs downstairs, so a sweep with a broom then dustpan & brush would do. Currently the "office" (third bedroom) and the landing are also hard floor and rugs, the 2 remaining bedrooms will be following suit.

Microwave and they can swop the cooker for a toaster

MissAdventure Thu 12-Sept-19 18:16:35

Washing machine for me.

Hair dryer

You’re allowed to keep your cooker and fridge. What other domestic appliance would you keep?
I think mine would be my vacuum cleaner, owing to the canine traffic in this house!
