Our dishwasher is playing up. I suggested we hand wash the dishes but my husband suggested he load the dishwasher and has spent the last 30 minutes or so opening and closing the dishwasher door at various noise volume

I need to phone our insurance cover people which I will do tomorrow but my Wednesday evening would have been better spent not listening to this huffing and puffing and door opening and closing

honestly hmm

Hi Fernhillnana
Sorry to hear that you only have 2 burners working on your hob. I hardly ever use more than 2 burners. I bought a steamer many moons ago and it’s marvellous for the veg. Also has a timer and so I can sit down and wait til be is cooked. No potatoes boiling over on the stove. Might be cheaper to buy a steamer than a new cooker.

Gotta say last time the washing machine was playing up, my husband rooted around and found a colour catcher sheet clogging up the filter (they now get put in a delicates bag) - however, he literally has no idea how to actually do a load of washing grin

I didn’t mean to imply that any of our equipment fails soon after the guarantee runs out. On the contrary (fingers crossed), most of our white goods have carried on for years, beyond any reasonable make do and mend, let alone spare parts still being available. Dishwashers and washing machines seem to last longer than fridge-freezers.
