Washing machines and phones

The highlight of my weekend was a trip to Welwyn Garden City where I ordered a washing machine. The lady in the shop was really helpful, I explained to her that I knew nothing and so she went "back to basics"...as if she were explaining the concept of a washing machine to a toddler...which was great. Its not that I don't know how to use a washing machine, that part is completely fine, it was just whether I wanted a hot or cold feed, how many revolutions a minute I wanted and stuff like that that I wasn't sure about. The lady was great because seeing how little I knew she could have attempted to sell me some really flashy, expensive model but instead she said that their cheapest, most basic model was all I needed so that's what I'm getting. Its being delivered on Saturday so now I am saving up all my dirty washing for then!

On Sunday I decided that I really should phone all the people that I keep putting off calling (not because I don't want to speak to them, I just seem to have been really busy lately and not had spare time for a chat) and so I spent Sunday afternoon almost permanently on the phone!
