I think maybe it would have been better in the long run to have invested in a good Meile washing machine, they are pretty robust and have a 5 or 10 year guarantee, depending on the price, they claim they last for about 20 years.
    The very first one we bought was a Zanussi, it didn't last particularly well. This one was us re-trying the brand after a few years and it's been a good one.
    Of course it'll fit, you just need a bigger hammer.

    We have a fridge/freezer (Hotpoint) that is over 30 years old and still going strong. The woman I bought the house off sold me the whole house content and furnishings for £1000 as I was a poor, broke divorcee! It was money well spent as I only replaced things as they failed or wore out.

    apoor broken divorcee..AAAAHH! HOW EXPRESSIVE WAS THAT!

    mY CHEST FREEZER IS 32 YEARS OLD.One day it will pack up and I'll have an upright,but I hate throwing things away when they still work.I must admit to stuffing it and have to dig down. I tidy it occasionally- then my shopping comes .......
    and I throw it in ,Promising to 'do it tomorrow'.
    tOMORROW HARDLY EVER COMES THOUGH AND i'M BACK WHERE i STARTED.

    We also saw a fat bumble bee out foraging. It was a beautiful very spring like warm day too.
