Me too. Front loaders have never really caught on in North America, so we always had a top loader until we moved over here. Now I wouldn't go back to a top loader.

Can't live without a dryer, though. I hate clothes dried on the clothesline.

I love the smell of clothes dried on a clothes line, though you have to have a good wind along with it or they end up too hard. During the summer here in Brisbane, i really struggled to get them dried with the humidity. Recently too i must add, with all the rain we've had.

I'll have to invest in a dryer i think for the impending humidity.

Me neither. Washing the dishes? Isn't that what husbands are for?

Training, my girl, training Mine is well trained

We got a dishwasher as a present for my first marriage, in 1989. I left him in 1990 and didn't get custody, despite a lengthy fight, because his parents bought it.

I didn't have one again until we moved here last year and there is one in the rental. I didn't use it for weeks until somebody persuaded me that modern ones really are more water conscious than washing and rinsing a load of pots and pans by hand.

I didn't miss one for years, but now I would.

Tried and failed

thanks we went to library. We're thinking either Bosch or
Miele
