House fixy-uppy shit

Have to agree with this. We have a Bosch washing machine and its ace. Miele are better, but they cost on average about 30% more for more or less the same washing machine. 

 

Who knew you could get so much fun from a washing machine

Not so much fun, but it works a treat and never had a problem with it. Plus with AAA+ efficiency you can't lose.

Although does that only apply when its on its longest wash cycle.....which I never use as I cant be doing waiting for hours for it

[Hand Shandy]

I'd be tempted to sack off the tumble dryer (they just ruin your clothes anyway) and put the money towards a washing machine and dishwasher that'll last you for life

Tumble dryer means no ironing though.

 

And not having to plan when you do laundry.

[PestiRed]

That never really worked for me, especially with shirts. Only time I ever used them was if I needed underwear or socks quickly drying. And that became less necessary when I got older, became more organised and could afford more boxer shorts

Miele are so reliable. Most of them come with free five year guarantees because the company do not expect to have to go near any of their machines to replace parts.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

A tumble dryer is great, It's worth it just to do your towels in. Plus with three kids we buy a lot of cloths which can go on iron free cycle.

Anyone got any good shouts on where to get paving stones and a shed from?

Well that's going to bloody offend woman. Must try harder.

Depends what you're after but I'd recommend sourcing a local form for your shed. They'll likely be a lot better quality and should be able to customise it for you if required. It's also worth asking about end of season deals/display deals. We've got our name on one and should save us about 40% of its current price

Reclaim yards?

 

We've had some ex council paving stones down for a few years. Sturdy as fuck.

 

Disregard my post if looking for the fancy,schmancy coloured ones though.

[Stu Monty]

Thinking of some 2x2 sandstone coloured ones.

[stringvest]

depends on how many you're looking for Stu.  If it's just a few, get down to B&Q, Wickes or Homebase.  If it's a lot, then get on the web and find some local companies who will give you a better deal.  Make sure you order the bedding sand and cement if appropriate at the same time.  Same with sheds.  All of the DIY shops sell them, but best walk around a specialist suppliers where you can see what sort of quality their made of - they'll usually set them up for you too.  My local place had a 'Free Erections' sign up for years.  Again, with a shed, you might have to buy or make a base.

You're not wrong there. Shifted about 30 of these on Monday and my body still hurts.

Got someone doing the work for me, just looking for the gear. I had a scan at B&Q and wasn't that impressed really with the choice. Was just throwing it up here in case someone had some nice gear from somewhere I might not have heard about.
