When something breaks and you think you will need to get a new one...

[Sparklingbrook]

But the washing machine repair man said it was just the brushes and he repaired them in 15 minutes.

It's a great feeling isn't it? I honestly thought we would be buying a new one.

Phew

Ahhh yes. I would always get a washing machine looked at as we've had ours repaired a few times before having to replace it.

Mine flooded recently and I was worried, but it was just a blocked pipe thankfully. Cost me nothing as I sorted it myself.

Oh this has reminded me of our family cat when I was a teenager. He was getting on a bit and we found a growth on his belly. My mum made me say my final goodbyes to him before she took him to the vet. I was distraught. Imagine my confusion when she arrived back with him! Growth removed, all fine! I cried and cried. That was an exhausting day.

I think it's just the expectation that it will be beyond repair and then the surprise when it's just a quick fix.

Cats and white goods.
