Spent the weekend stuffing around with our washing machine that decided to misbehave, outcome, its n13 years old and past its use by date.
So into the local Retravision store this AM, bought a new machine, get it home, remove from carton, the front panel looks like its been hit by a truck, grrrrr, by now there's packing and stuff all over the back verandah, ring the store, they want me to repack it and haul it back to em, another 40km round trip, then the nice lady inferred I may have damaged it myself during transport, more
needless to sat I reacted quite strongly to this suggestion > next step manager intervention, fortunately he was the person who loaded it into my vehicle and was happy with the way it was transported.
The outcome? Mr manager loaded another one and had it delivered this afternoon, undamaged and is now installed and doing what its supposed to, all's well that ends well.
You know its difficult to get excited about having to buy a new washing machine, looking at having to buy a new mower in the near future, whoopee, how bloody exciting, new machine more work.
