Or am I crazy?
my washing machine has just gone wrong after less than a year. Quite a big repair that needs a part that’s out of stock and might not even come into stock. The manufacturer have said it could take up to 28 days to get this part. I’ve begged them to think about replacing it instead. Then if they do get a part it will be a wait for a fix or if they can’t they will replace. I have two kids who are both disabled and cannot be without one for a few days let alone 28 days. They won’t budge on their decision.
I have a lot of washing.
I live rurally and the nearest launderette is 20 mins away which is annoying with two kids now going on half term. I can’t manage them and carry laundry when there’s no car park, I’d have to park and walk with it all. Nightmare.
a couple petrol stations near me have the stand alone washing machines however they’ve been in use every time I’ve tried using them, also you cannot use your own detergent so worried about mine and ds skin.
family are 20-30 minutes away so not much help. I don’t want to burden anyone. Mil has been doing some of it but she’s going on holiday and doesn’t want us going in to use it ourselves when they are away!
I don’t have any close friends to ask.
the laundry is continuous every day.
would it be mad to buy a back up? I’ve been looking at second hand all day but not found much. Can get a cheap one for around £200. Haven’t really got the money (or the space) but my own sanity? I could either keep it as a back up or sell it as new if they fix my machine. There’s not even a guarantee they will fix it but hoping they will replace for free if they cannot.
would people think I am crazy?
28 days or more seems like a long time!
