Our dishwasher died about a year ago and we can't replace it. We are fine doing the dishes the old-fashioned way but I find I miss the dishwasher for things like a really hot wash of the kids lunchboxes at the end of term, and putting the draining rack through. Some things are just cleaner out of a dishwasher.
What I need is a public launderette but instead of washing machines, it's just big dishwashers!
