How do you do it?
Mine exploded a few months ago...I have literally piles and piles of washing all over my flat.
Hand-washing is a nightmare, especially for big things like towels and sheets.
I guess I'm going to have to find a laundrette, how much do they usually cost? I hate the idea of having to sit in there for hours waiting for my washing to be done. Mind you, if a man comes in and strips off, as in the Diet Coke ad, it wouldn't be too bad.

Cost varies hugely, it's something like £6 for the one round the corner from the office, but they are monster size machines. The one in halls was £1.40.
You can hire them too, it'd be worth looking into.
Hmmm, I wonder if I can sneak into the local university and use their ones?
It's a good time to get reading done. When i lived on campus, i used to chuck it in, go to the bar, come back and stick it in the tumbledrier, go to the LCR (the club on campus) and take it out when the club finished. Perfect
doubt it would be a problem, and will probably be the cheapest.
you get your arse down the laundrette or buy a new one. also you never leave you clothing even for a second in self service machines or else some bugger will nick it :grump:
But doesn't that mean some old lady going through your smalls?!?!
I currently have my own house with a second hand washer/dryer all-in-one. Personally, if it packed up, I'd shell out £350 for a new unit. If you go on Currys and pay an extra £20, they'll scrap the old one for you. Very handy. Had it done with my fridge/freezer and cooker so far.
