We are getting a combi boiler installed this week. The main reason for the combi boiler is not so much for the hot water and central heating, it is so we have room to put in a washing machine.
The unfortunate but typical thing though, is that our current central heating has been removed to make way for the new heating, and the weather has turned to crap. Its like winter but with no heating!
Anyway, the plan is now that the hot water cylinder has been removed from the upstairs cupboard, we can now put a washing machine in there. That makes so much more sense. I could never really see the logic in carting your dirty washing downstairs into the kitchen to wash them. Mike has also just installed a nice new kitchen with all integrated appliances, and an ugly big white washing machine would have totally ruined the sleek lines.
So we are hoping to get a washing machine installed on Saturday and yay! clean clothes!
