So yeah, [Some of Us]. Posting is slowing because I haven't actually written chapter 31 yet (the rest is all done... well the last chapter needs a rewrite but that's ch.60). It can be pulled out as a standalone side story thing though so maybe I'll just skip over it for now...

Our washer dryer went kaput. We've had it for three years (it came new with the flat) but it's a six year old model. Since it's old and cheap, if we try to get it fixed they might just say they don't make the parts anymore, costs more money than it's worth, blah blah, and then have to pay 100 quid call out charge anyway. So we went and ordered a new one that has a long warranty and stuff. Money we didn't want to spend but have to.

Still, we're in a position where we *can* spend this amount of money on short notice even if we didn't want to. It's a good thing to know.

Really liking Some of Us, so I vote for keeping the chapters coming >__> But it's up to you!

That sucks about the washer dryer. I'm crossing my fingers that all our big appliances will be in good working order for at least another year, until I can get our finances in order and get more clients. Glad to know you were able to order a new one =)

I guess the positive is what you said, that you're in a position that you can deal quickly with a situation such as this and it's a more logical investment if it's a nine year old machine, you'd end up spending more in the long run, plus newer models usually use less water so it just makes sense. Or is it me that likes buying things?

Gaspare's microwave went kaput 4 months ago and we still haven't gotten a new one, not because we can't but because we're lazy.
